  • 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.

Tatuaje Reserva J21


The first third smoked just like a Cojonu. Lots of black pepper and strong wood. It was very robust and brash. The second third was a bit more dynamic changing as the smoke progressed. It mellowed out a bit like the cigar was trying to let me know it was a Reserva. It was still much more full bodied that the other two sizes in the Reserva line. The flavors were still predominately woody with a slight sweetness that was unlike anything I’ve tasted in a Tatuaje. As I passed the halfway mark the flavors became more dry with notes of leather and toasted tobacco and a slightly earthy finish. In the last third it began to pick up again and the black pepper returned.

Nice review. Obviously taste is subjective. IMO, the J21 is a consistent full bodied cigar. I smoked one less than an hour ago. I have smoked an excessive amount of Cojonu's. I do not taste the Cojonu line in the J21. For me, the J21 is a cigar exudes wood and nasty rich coffee (Starbucks style).
