  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

It has been a little while since I had gotten my Tatuaje Anarchy....hadn't smoked one yet. Well, yesterday felt like a good day, with the fact that there was over 16" of snow on the ground from "Snowmaggedon".

The Anarchy, as many of you probably know, was created for Smoke Inn. This 6 1/8 inch long figurado goes from 48 to 52 ring gauge, and features an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. The head is covered with a twisted and coiled cap. The construction is quite good, and the cigar feels firm in the hand.





The pre-light draw tasted of leather with a slight pepper burn on the tongue. The first third of the Anarchy had a dominate taste of cocoa, mixed with leather. A little bit of pepper and spice mixed within the background. The burn was fairly good, but did waver a little, and required a touch up or two. The ash was fairly white as the cigar burned.



Moving to the second third, the cocoa almost disappeared. The main flavor was now leather, mixed with a bit of coffee. Spice (some of it cinnamon) was a little stronger, while the pepper stayed around the same level as before.



The final third still was dominated by the leather flavor, and now it had a taste of dry leaves, which complemented, not detracted from the flavor. There was now stronger pepper on the back of the tongue, with a little spice mixed within.



I was pretty impressed with the Anarchy. I think it had a good combination of flavor and strength (med-full by the end). I had been watching the movie Patton while smoking this cigar...and if you know that movie, you know it is pretty long. This cigar lasted me almost through the entire movie. It lasted 2 hours and 45 mins....it never sat such that it could go out.

Nice review, Jere. My thoughts were similar as well. Looking forward to the others I have.

GreAt review ! I went to a herf and jmatkins was about half way through an anarchy. I smoked an entire 7th while he finished up his. I didn't even think of it until reading this review

Thanks for the Review Jere. I'm interested to try one of these myself after they rest for a while, based on your write up they seem to be coming along nicely.

Very nice review. I have had a couple of them but they never lasted that long. I wonder if I am puffing to quickly. HMMMMMMM

Wish I would have maybe tried one sooner...to see how they smoked before letting them sit for a bit. I can't wait to see how these change with some time, but I think it is great right now.

The whole time thing shocked me for the size that it is, but the time is right from the pics I took. I clipped/lit right after that second pic...and was done right after that last pic. I think I really slow played this one...

Great pics, thanks for the review. Can't wait to get to the ones I have, but it'll have to wait for warmer weather probably...

I smoked my first one tonight, along with two bottles of Dragon's Milk, and it is definately a cigar in my opinion that is well worth trying! :cbig:

Haha...had one yesterday myself Jere! Yes it is a good long smoke. I've had about four now and they have lasted me anywhere between 2 hours to 2 and a half. guess it depends on the draw.
Anyways spot on review and a really good cigar. I especially like the feel in my fingers and mouth when smoking. very comfortable smoke.
