Default Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles

Size - 5 x 50
Shape - Robusto
Wrapper - Nicaragua
Filler - Nicaragua
Binder - Nicaragua

Decent looking cigar. It had a few lumps under the wrapper as well as a couple of visible soft spots. I love the design of the simple band.

First third - Initial draw flavors consist mainly of tobacco with a slightly woody and peppery spice aftertaste. Not very strong in flavor. Good draw with a good amount of smoke. Burn is slightly messed up...only to get worse.

Second third - The flavor is smoothing out at this point with hints of cocoa, leather but still mainly tobacco. Burn problem had to be corrected. Flavor stays consistent throughout this third.

Last third - Intensity picks up with flavors of cocoa, leather, and an increase of spice. Had to give it another touch up from burn problems.

Overall a pretty good cigar. It didn't wow me with complexity of flavors...and a bad burn didn't help issues. But the flavors were pleasant and able to be enjoyed any time of the day.

I got these for 4 $ a stick from devil's site and I love em! For me the flavor starts right away. They have a chewy (inset wookie noise) wrapper. Dudeman, I think you got a bad one. No burn probs for me, just a great smoke with great flavors. Your last third is like my first third. Give another one a try. Amazing smoke. A solid 9.5! Nice review. Loved the piktures!

I love these too, and while they're certainly not the most complex stick I'll ever smoke, the flavor profile is just how I like it. I haven't had burn issues, either, so you might want to give these another try.

Thanks for the review and pics.
