I dredged up this 2015 review because I snagged me some a few months ago plus SBC is having a killer sale on all things Tatuaje until Jan. 19 at 11:59pm.

THE WHOLE MEGILLAH:
The shaft aromas are very subtle. I can smell sweetness, spice, nuts, cocoa, and coffee.
From the clipped cap and the foot, I can smell dark chocolate, spice, leather (Yes! I’ve said it: Leather!), dried fruit, black tea, coffee, and earthy tobacco notes.

The cold draw presents flavors of hay, spice, powdery baking chocolate, nuts, creaminess, coffee, raisins, and tea.

Takes a while to toast the foot of this mamajama.
The draw is good. And the heavy cigar is held tightly between my lips.

Flavors blow the pot of the kettle from the get go: Red hot spice, Chocolate, lots of malt variation, coffee, nuts, dried fruit, and cinnamon.

Whenever Pete Johnson works closely with Pepin Garcia, one thing is usually guaranteed: A very spice meat’a’ball.

The malts really jump in early with Chocolate Malt, Chocolate Rye Malt, Coffee Malt, Crystal/Caramel Malt, and Flaked Oats Malt.

The sweet juicy raisins are showing off now. Transitions have begun and so has some interesting complexity.

Flavor explosion. Like stuffing an entire movie theater sized box of Mike and Ike in your mouth at once.

I saw more than one review that gave this cigar a PERFECT score! That kind of excited me in an old man sort of way.

Strength is medium/full.

The Tatuaje Verocu is doing some heavy-duty carpet bombing to my palate. Wonderful cigar. Über flavorful. Rich and complex and smooth as my tush. Balance is perfect.

The 2” ash gently disembarks the mother ship.

This is a goddam perfect blend. I’m wallowing in it. I’m savoring every nano second.

There is a gritty quality to the smoke. Rough cob but yet super smooth in its approach. The best of both worlds.

Strength becomes full bodied. No nicotine but crash helmet at the ready.

The malts and creaminess take over. Spice moves to middle ground. Along with the chocolate and coffee and raisins.

The Tatuaje Verocu is so rich I want to punch myself in the face and mangle my naughty bits.

Goddam the Pusherman. The transitions are a wild man. The spiciness has returned with a vengeance and now leads the pack. A strong, boastful red pepper.

Transitions come hard and fast.

The creaminess is so lush that the blend becomes a chocolate-coffee-malted.
The Tatuaje Verocu is a true masterpiece.

The flavor profile never lets up. Each sip of water is nirvana as your palate is cleansed.

I have one stick left, I believe. I think I want it placed in my casket just before the thing is nailed shut…if it’s there during the funeral, some cigar junkie will steal it.

10 years ago, this cigar was a hefty $10. Now…only a buck more. The Tat Verocu comes in 7 sizes. You are bound to find the perfect size for your infantile needs.
