Cigar review of Tatuaje cabaiuan no.52 rothschild

My curiosity about the name the cigar had led me to the fact that the word tatuaje translated from Spanish to English means tattoo. I think the name was appropriate after I smoked the cigar, it tattooed a good impression and became a cigar I want to smoke more often. I really like when a cigar has a pig’s tail, it’s a bit like it puts an extra touch on the cigar. The cigar had a small vein behind the wrapper that I didn’t think would cause any issues with the glow. The cigar was firmly and evenly rolled and had a slightly oily feel.

Wrapper: Ecuador – Binder: Nicaragua – Filler: Nicaragua

Taste

Smell and cold draw

I brought the cigar to my nose and smelled a lovely aroma of fruitiness and hay from the wrapper. The filler was difficult to put a precise scent on, the easiest way to explain is that it smelled like a mixture of cacao, hay and fruitiness. The cold draw I must say was impressive, when I took a few puffs before lighting the cigar I was almost disappointed that I hadn’t cut it a few hours earlier and puffed as a starter. The cold draft was sweet and lovely and I can’t describe it other than it reminded me of a mixture of sweet fruit candy.
