Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
I just smoked the #2 of the new Ambos Mundos by Tatuaje, made by Pete Johnson. My B&M got in 2 boxes, 1 each of the #1 & #2. The #1 is the lighter wrapper and the #2 is the darker. I got the second to last #2 after my B&M ran through the box in 24 hrs. The were $5.95 (NY) each. They still had over half a box of #1. I picked up both. The packaging was gorgeous with a nice foil fleur de lis on colorful paper over the cedar latched cabinet.
Smoked the #2 after a Boli RC 08 While I enjoyed the Ambos Mundos, it seemed to lack complexity, but had a nice even med (med/full?) flavor throughout. Granted it could have just been overshadowed by the BRC... A lot of times I feel the darker wrapper is less complex on smokes that come out this way, even though folks run for the darker. It was smooth, without the peppery spice of Tat & DPG. Will need to smoke more to get the flavors more exact. Will definitely try again. I will smoke the #1 first when I revisit it. Oh, by the way Pete is coming to my B&M in the near future... Loved the Tat Black Robusto (more than the CG).
