Generous, long lingering aftertaste/finish of herbal, woody, and floral tastes.
Summary Comments:
Overall a great cigar, as I’ve come to expect from Tatuaje, and I have had quite a fair number of different ones over the last 6 months or so, and have been nowhere near disappointed yet.
A great final score of 93 out of 100. Would have scored much higher if the appearance had been better, but even though I had to knock off points for it, in the end its taste and construction that matters to me, good appearance is just a nice addition.
