Cigar Review: Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles

I knew it was going to be a good day once I decided to have my first Tatuaje. As soon as I put fire to this cigar I heard a knock at the door. I stopped what I was doing kind of mumbling all the way to the door. But when I opened it no one was to be seen. Like Santa the UPS driver was in and out never to be caught. Once I opened the box I figured out that it was a ticking bomb! Now who would send this? Gurkha of course! They sent me a hat, three cigars and a pouch to carry them in!

So after looking through it all I put the cigars in the humi and got back to my Tatuaje. I picked this up at my local B&M last week and have been waiting for a good time to burn it. I paid $4.25 but I think around $5 is the norm.

tatuajecigars.com is seriously lacking and is in desperate need of a make over. Very little information on this cigar. This cigar was created by Pete Johnson and Pepin Garcia and produced in Pepin’s Tabacalera Cubana factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.

Pre-light: A nice solid cigar with small veins. The band is a thin red one with Tatuaje written on it. The pre-smell is of mild tobacco and the draw is firm even after a hefty cut of the triple cap. This is a very solid silky smooth cigar with the cold draw showing a mild tobacco taste.

The burn: For being firm you get a good amount of smoke from this little cigar. The ash was white for the most part lasting around a inch. The burn didn’t give me much trouble. Going off once it corrected itself and behaved the rest of the way down.

The taste: It started off a little leathery and earthy. The body is a mild-medium leaning a little to the medium side. Once about an inch in some freshly ground pepper came out for a puff or two and it then went back to earthiness. At around the half way mark I get that pleasant tangy flavor and I can only describe it as cherry. This only lasts a couple puffs as well going back to more present spice. This is the point where things move from a mild-medium to medium-full but more toward medium. The finish is much longer the last half.

Over all: This cigar has it all. The only issue I have is the draw but the flavors make up for it in a big way. Cigar Aficionado rated this cigar a 93 in 2007. I agree with that rating but not the description they gave it. At $.4.75 this is a great deal. I say buy!

    I love corona size cigars. Tatuaje seems to be a reliable brand. I’ll have to give this one a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Lisa, I have been finding myself enjoying corona sized cigars more the past couple of months. I don’t know if it is a time issue or it pushes the flavor more. I wish more lines would throw in a smaller size.
