Tatuaje Verocu 9

Drink: Tonic w/ Lime

So far I am very impressed with the construction of the Tatuaje cigars I have had, each one was both firm and had good weight to them. This one was no exception, near perfect construction and stellar appearance!



The first few puffs of this cigar let out a nice strong cocoa flavor...so you may be thinking where is the Tatuaje pepper smack in the face? Not going to find it in this cigar, this is an incredible medium strength smoke. During the first initial puffs there was also a somewhat "sweet" flavor, however I was not able to pin-point what it was.



As we work our way into the second third of this cigar I begin to pick up more chocolate flavors and some slight spicy tones. After a few more puffs I am getting some nice coffee flavors, imagine opening up a bag of nice coffee beans.



At this point I ask the question....where did these come from and can I still get them...fortunately Holt's does carry them and they are at a terrific price point for a great cigar...I am now happy



Getting into the final third of the cigar, the chocolate flavors continue and are joined by a pleasant leather taste....think back to when you were a kid and chewed on your baseball glove laces....I don't know about you but that was fantastic! Ever so slight caramel tones also poked through at this point...it was just fantastic.



For a $6 cigar it was a very enjoyable, full bodied cigar! This is definitely going to be a box purchase in the future.



Once again big thanks to the ZK's for putting this together...at the price point of this cigar I think it has now become #1. Guess I have to smoke some more and see if they are all this wonderful!
