Tatuaje Havana VI Artistas (FSRFeb25)

[mikejh]

Tatuaje Havana VI Artistas 6x52 Torpedo. From somewhere around 2009.

First third: Spicy, peppery, strong even with around 15 years of age. Draw is excellent.

Second third: After the first ash, the cigar really transformed, floral, sweet, nutty. Had some odd burn issues but still enjoying it.

Final Third: Flavors now more muted, not as complex, put it down a little early as nothing much seemed to be happening.

Fun facts:
This was the first non-Cuban I smoked after the first Cuban (RyJ No. 1) I had ever smoked, and at the time I thought it was a decent comparison. I think I got this at a cigar shop that was having a buy one get one sale on all Tatuajes, how often does that happen?

I received an order of more of these in the mail as I was smoking this one.

My scale of cigar ratings is would I buy this again, yes or no, and obviously I would, but I prefer a smaller vitola. Not the height of Nicaraguan cigars, but a solid smoke with some signature Nicaraguan flavors.

Good line of cigars. I like the Angeles and Hermosos best.
