Tatuaje Escasos “E” (lancero) ERH OCT 19/ (S46RW)

[BuzzArd]

Had to add this Tatuaje box to the humidor.  I am a big fan of the Escasos “N” and love a lancero size cigar in general. 
 

visually perfect construction.  Smooth wrapper. Nice pigtail cap.  Pinched the tip off the head and wanted a bit more draw, so I gave it a shallow cut leaving most of the shoulder of the cap in place.  Perfect.  Sweet tobacco at cold. 

Lighting yielded an immediate blast of peanuts and cream, with mild black pepper and a touch of leather as accompaniment.  Throughout the first 1/2 the peanuts dominate and are joined by woody flavors in addition to the pepper/leather background. Into the last 1/4 the woodiness intensifies.  There’s a touch of dryness as it comes to a close.  I could probably store these in a more humid environment than my CC and see some benefit.  A full 90min smoking time and I’d rate it at a solid 90 score.  Looking forward to trying more as time goes on. They should stand up to it marvelously.
