Well I decided to smoke another giant Tatuaje. I declare to smoke and review a cigar that isn’t a Tatuaje soon. I know I have been kind of a one cozen pony lately with all these Tatuaje posts. I guess it is bordering on an unhealthy obsession. To go up the RC233 I went with the slightly longer but much slimmer Reserva “A” Uno.
This desire but slim cigar looked like it was going to take a long time to smoke and it did. Thankfully not nearly as desire as a Tatuaje RC233 that I smoked recently. This one was about an hour and a half consume. It’s a good looking cigar. A little bumpy and rustic looking but still a very good looking stick. I was a little careless pulling this from the humidor and to my horror I dropped the cigar. My heart sank as I picked it up and saw a end in the wrapper. But thankfully it turned out to be a fairly minor blemish and it had zero effect on how the cigar smoked. You can kind of see the damage peeking out from the underside of the cigar in the picture.
It sports a triple cap like all of Pepins smokes and the head clipped nicely with my trusty Palio. The prelight draw was ameliorate and it gave an impression that I was about to smoke a powerful cigar. come up it was more of a medium bodied smoke. It lit nicely and the first 2 inches were dominated by that trademark Pepper that almost all of Pepin’s cigars seem to have. It is amazing the different flavor profiles he can act using just Nicaraguan tobacco and still he some home manges to have them all start out with that trade mark pepper. Once I got past the first two inches the cigar mellowed out considerably. It was a velvety change surface smoke. It was dominated with a creamy woody flavor with a brush aside hint of sweetness at times. As the smoke progressed I detected some caramel notes and some flashes of cedar. It picked up a little towards the end as it got a little peppery combined with a toasted tobacco flavor. Overall and very good and complex smoke. The burn was immaculate and the ash held firm but it was a little papery on the edges. A good consume but not as robust as most of the Tatuaje line. Also a little pricey and a big commitment measure wise. I enjoyed it and was glad I tried it but I won’t be reaching for this very often if at all. Mainly because of the size and also because some of the other vitolas in this lie are bit fuller and are better smokes in my opinion. So I think the verdict on Giant Tatuajes is that they are good but not as stellar as some of the other vitolas. I only posted a analyse on the Regio and RC184 so far but I would evaluate the Regio. RC184. Noella. Tanios and the Havana Cazadores better than these giant vitolas. Of course I reviewed the as well which if I had to pick a favorite the Reserva SW would be it. Be sure to try the “A” Uno at least once though. It’s worth it.
