Red red wine?
Okay, so I am a bit behind in the Tatuaje craze, but finally had a change to sit down and sample one.
Props to Don who sent me this as part of the Super Bowl Squares winnings...Thanks, Bro!
This torpedo had a very nice wrapper...Fairly smooth.
Clipped off the tip, and saw the first element of good construction...The cone (tip) that came off was tightly packed, showing great care to finish this cigar well.
Toasted and lit, releasing subtle aromas of leather and pepper.
The first third was nice...Creamy, smooth, and a mysterious background of dark berries....Something that I could not identify right away. Notes of pepper and slight earthiness.
During the second third that unidentifiable flavor strengthened, and became clear...It was the flavor of tannin, found in red wines. Not bitter, but a red wine-like flavor.
The ash held well...No flakes, good texture.
The last third became slightly more intense, but very well balanced. Creamy textures of tannin, earth, and notes of black pepper...Nice stogie!
Although I am not sure it's worth all the hype, it was a great, enjoyable well constructed cigar.
