Tatuaje Reserva SW FWRC 2018

[duabley]

This has been a hecktic weekend with little time to enjoy a smoke. I was (kind of) able to fit this cigar in while catching the last half of the seahawks/ bucks game (sorry Rob) and couldnt resist the chance to get in on the christmas sampler....missed the 24:24.

There are much better reviews out there on this stick if you're unfamiliar with it, but heres my take. 

The start is smooth with mild sweet tobaco and some complexity, great draw, and good smoke production. A light cream/ coffee flavor. Very nice

1st 3rd:

Very mild with a Graham cracker sweetness to it, along with toasted tobacco. Towards the end of the 3rd the creaminess kind of takes over and impresses with each draw (not what i expected from a pepin made stick)

2nd 3rd

 Much the same with the sweetness turning to vanilla and at times a clove spice shows up. The flavors are balanced and are blending well. Still a light medium bodied smoke with easy but well defined flavors, all wrapped up in a creamy profile/texture. Very enjoyable! 

Last 3rd

The family went berserk and i had lost the smoke servral times between making dinner and refereeing my boys (and wife) from killing eachother, so this last bit got lost in relight harshness. And i ended it earlier than i would have liked. But this was an impressive cigar that blew me away with the creamy profile -not how i would usually describe nicaraguan tobacco-. I think I'll need to grab some more and see if i can find time to get through an entire churchill.

Easy 90-91 score

Excellent cigar from Pete Johnson. CC smokers would like this one no doubt.

Had the chance to enjoy this cigar, courtesy of Dane here in the forum. I was positively surprised - lovely cigar ???. 

Great reminder. 

Thank you for the review.

In my humble opinion the best Tatuaje to date and the 2nd best Pete Johnson blend next to the La Tache.

I'm a big fan of the brown label in general. Thank you for posting!

Great write up.

Reserva line had been my go to for years.

The Petit Casado reserva was a balls out daily powerhouse.

Noella reserva, a more refined cigar with so many transitions from foot to nub.

Sadly, I can’t go near NC anymore, my pallet is to tuned to CC.
