I hadnt had a cigar for about a month and had a lineup rareing go go until I got a headcold that lasted for about two weeks.
I had a couple of cigars this week to try and quickly build up my tolerance for a herf in Boston this weekend.
I smoked the following cigar at Gloucester St. Cigar Company with a few BOTL from here and a few other good guys.
I was mainly talking and socializing and didnt really take any notes, but here goes from memory.
Tatuaje 7th Reserva
Wrapper: Nic Corojo
Filler & Binder - Nic
5 5/8 x 46
The Look:
Cigar has a nice attractive black and copper double band.
Triple cap appears flawless.
wrapper is a nice toothy dark brown that is very uniform in color, good amount of veins and invisible seams.
Prelight:
Cut with a V cut - not my preferred, but they have one at the shop so I thought Id give it a go.
--V cut leaves a little more loose tobacco and wrapper destruction than I would typically prefer but the draw is perfect.
Cold draw has some flavors of smooth aged tobacco and tea.
Paired with Water
Overalll Profile:
Im not going to really break this down into thirds as I wansnt really paying attention to the flavor transitions.
But I will say this, this cigar is very complex lots of good flavors of aged tobacco and various spices.
What I will mention about the transition is that the 1st half of the cigar is firmly medium and reall builds in strenght throughout the cigar. I was fairly looped at the end, but thats cuz I havent really been smoking too much lately.
Burn was nearly flawless, it got Wonky for about 1/4 inch there around the band area, but really didnt require any attention.
I smoked this puppy to the nub and then stumbled to go make a cup of coffee afterward.
I will say that next to the Pork Tenderloin this is without a doubt either the best or 2nd best Tat that I have had yet! Got a couple more resting to give a go with, but this one it TOTALLY box worthy!
(Side note - I smoked this was aslo watching the Seattle - NO game! WHAT A GAME!!!!))))
