Tatuaje Havana VI Victorias

[cls515]

Overall, the flavor was of wood and coffee. Started out with a little pepper through the nose, and then shifted to the coffee about mid way. Medium bodied.

Rating - B

Why do people do these long drawn out reviews like the one above. I mean it takes longer to read the review that it does to smoke the cigar. (actually I prefer a short and to the point review) Thanks for the info cls.

Wasn't much else to say. It wasn't the most complex cigar I've had, nor was it outstanding. It was good, a solid B cigar. I wouldn't invest in a box. I did not like this cigar as much as the Angeles. Some people have that taste for coffee. I prefer a more "tobacco" flavor.

you found a difference between the two sizes? I haven't had both, so i cannot compare them but how does the taste differ if its the same blend?

Good question. I have smoked at least a couple of boxes of each of these sizes and they are identical in flavor. Granted, each has slightly different draw/burn characteristics (none of which are bad). I have never sensed coffee in any Tatuaje. Pretty much smooth tobacco with a nice spice. I cannot say that I have really picked up on coffee in any stick other than a Java . Just my opinion. We all have different taste buds- so each to his own....

Just because cigars carry the same name, different sizes will not all taste the same. The blends are manipulated for each size. A group of tasters will taste blends for a particular size and determine what production will be.

Try a San Cristobal de la Habana Oficios. It tastes almost as if you're drinking coffee. Once you have that you may be able to pick out that taste in other cigars.

I can't speak on how the blend is determind for different sized Tatuajes. But yeah there is a taste difference.

In general, the smaller the ring guage, the more taste will be in a cigar.
