This Nicaraguan puro, made by Don Pepin Garcia for Pete Johnson, has a ligero wrapper and all tobacco are first generation Cuban seed. I got this from The Longfiller Company, the importer for Tatuaje in The Netherlands, in exchange for a review on my blog and my Dutch cigar website. The 5x50 robusto has an 11 euro pricetag in The Netherlands.
![]() This cigar looks great with the nice dark oily wrapper that only has one thin vein and a triple cap. The aroma, which isn't that strong, is a warm barnyard aroma. The construction is great although the predraw, that tastes a bit peppery, is a bit loose. The bands, that are placed a bit crooked are glued to the cigar, that caused problems when I tried to remove them during smoking when the burn came close to the bands. ![]() I can taste a mildly bitter earth flavor soon to be accompanied by some wood. After ⅓ the earth flavor disappears and I taste the dry wood with herbal flavors and cacao powder as a mild aftertaste. ![]() Halfway the cacao powder as an aftertaste disappears, just like the wood and the earth flavor returns, while the herbs are becoming dominant around the ⅔ point. At the end the cacao returns as a very mild aftertaste. ![]() The draw is a bit loose, although it gets better near the end. I got a lot of smoke from the cigar, the smoke is a bit thin though. The ash is almost white, firm and compact. The burn is great. This cigar is full bodied and full flavored. ![]() Would I buy this cigar again? Yes, I liked this cigar, I wish it lasted longer than the 70 minutes I enjoyed it. Appearance: 8 / 10 Construction: 7 / 10 Draw: 6 / 10 Burn: 7 / 10 Smoke & ash: 8 / 10 Aroma first part: 7 / 10 Aroma second part: 7 / 10 Aroma third part: 8 / 10
