I was really excited to smoke this. I have quite a few Tatuaje/Pepin sticks now, and have heard nothing but good things.
This cigar has some strong flavour to it. It was very consistent from start to finish. I get this strong wood flavour, and used coffee grinds. There is also some nuts mixed in the exhale. A lot of pepper on the exhale.
This cigar was not all that smooth, and had an ammonia harshness to it that made retro-haling difficult, especially with how peppery it is. That's too bad, because the wood, coffee, and nuts were really pronounced, but would get flushed out by the harshness.
I found this cigar really strong, which also detracted from my enjoyment of it. Kind of gave me a headache by the half way point.
The ash was pretty white, and held on good. Burn was also fantastic. Nice slow even line.
I have one more of these that looks like its from a different batch based on the band being a little faded. I will certainly revisit this stick down the road, and hopefully not get the harshness, and be able to handle the strength.
