Tatuaje La Verite 2009 Churchill
Smoked this last night and it was pretty good.
Pre Light Aroma: Sweet leather with an earthy spice
First Third: Started out with a slight pepper blast and then progressed to a baking spice (one I can not identify?) and some faint citrus notes all mixed in with leather (the smoke coming off had an awesome citrus smell)
Second third: Pepper is gone but citrus and leather notes remain with a bit of coffee mixed in on the finish.
Final third: The pepper is now back and it mixes well with the coffee and now earthy flavors at this point (the citrus note stays constant through out this smoke, especially off of the resting smoke).
Conclusion: This smoke was pretty good. The construction and burn was awesome but the draw was a little firm. Overall I think this smoke will be great in a year or 2 but it is not quite there yet. Is it worth the price? Eh, give me a SW Reserva or a Cojonu 2009, or even a new Black Petit Lancero over this.
