Default Tatuaje Cojonu 2003

This came from a July 09 box. I've had it since september.

Nice solid construction. Dark wrapper. Some veins but not too bad. Nice triple cap. The wrapper looks like brown leather.


Cap clipped off nicely with no damage done to the cigar. Easy pre-light draw with some spice on the lips.

First puff gave a very spicy chocolate flavor. The draw is easy just as it was pre-light.

Cedar at 1.5" in. Spice mellows a lot. I had a lot of burn issues. Could be from me leaving it for a couple minutes a couple of times. But even when I constantly puffed on it, it wouldn't burn evenly. It was getting frustrating.


Half way- still lots of cedar flavor. Not much else other than the spice is almost gone.


It started to taste a little flat with just hints of those cedar. I did get a hint of nuts for a few puffs, but it didn't last long.


Overall, it was okay, but not worth the money I had to pay for it. I'd say it's worth $8-10 since it is so large. I have one more and an older on that was given to me on the MAW as being from 2003, so we'll see how it does as well.
