  • 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.

I'm never given a review before, but since I really enjoyed this cigar though I might as well give it a shot.

Cigar: Tatuaje Havana VI Artistas
Shape: Torpedo
Size: 6 1/8 x 52

Picked up two of these at a near by B&M. My wife was away last night so I grabbed one from the humi and headed to the deck. The cigar was clad in a dark brown wrapper with an oily sheen. The clipped the head with my double blade, the draw was just right with a taste of pepper. Lit the foot with my lighter and drew the first puff. The pepper flavor was more pronounced, along with what I can only discrible as the dark roasted malt taste you get from a good dark stout. The burn was even with a firm gray ash that held on for a good two inches. The flavors where constant getting slightly stronger in the last third. The other thing I noted was the aroma was great. My wife pulled in the driveway just as I was about to burn my fingers on the nub, with one final draw I laid it to rest. All in all this was a solid smoke with great flavors.

Nah, smoke that black! You'll love it! And you'll instantly be figuring out ways to be getting more. And the chase for those blacks is like the chase for pu-tang...it's so much fun...the thrill of the chase!!! :grin:

Ah how i miss my younger days...if i knew then what i know now, :devil: i'd have a venearial disease! :frown:

I have to agree on the Artistas. This is probably my favorite size from the Havana VI line. My experience has been most of the thin ones have a tight draw and the robo never really did it for me... for some odd reason. The Artistas, the Churchill and the PC (even though its thin) are the best IMHO. Now you should grab the brown label beli, the Unicos, and let us know what you think!

I had one of these in the humi for about 6 months and finally fired it up Saturday. WOW! An excellent smoke. By the 3rd or 4th toke, it really showed potential and by the half way mark there was a tasty coffee bean, leather, coco flavor. I am getting more of these...:devil:

I have yet to try the torpedo vitola, but the pc and petite lancero (whatever he calls it...the Victorias) are both awesome.

Thanks, nice review. I'm gonna have to try one sometime. That vitola is right up my alley. My preference is for 50-54 ring guages.

Thanks for the review, mate! Even if it is from August! I love this ones, although I'd venture tosay that I'd rather the Angeles of the Havana VI than the Artistas. Great cigar, still!
