I promised certain people I would leave some thoughts on the cigars I was lucky enough to be gifted. I have smoked three of late. The Tatuaje was from LeeNub, the Cuban-Crafters was from Rokkitsci, the third stick I cannot recall the source, sorry, how rude!
I smoked the Tatuaje black tube at the Dunhill meet-up. Some of you will recall the rave review I gave my first Tatuaje experience, the T110. Well this was a let down. It had a damaged cap, which is fine, transit issue are commonplace. It was a little dry, but not shockingly so. All I got from this was spice. It was strong but not amazingly. It was just the stinging spice flavour I was left with. It did not posses what I refer to as the "generic non-Cuban flavour" that I get from so many sticks, which is good, but that is about the best thing I can say. I questioned myself if I was expecting too much from this cigar following the T110 but I have to say I would have been unimpressed even if I had not known what it was.
A few weeks back I smoked the Cuban-Crafters Cameroon Churchill. I grabbed this at random and expected nothing from it. I actually rather enjoyed it. Not a complex cigar but some flavour, pleasant strength and pleased me for a large smoke that did not require much thinking about. A big pleasant smoke for a few dollars.
Two nights ago I grabbed a random stick from one of my little humidors. It was the Vieja Tradicion Maduro Corona Gorda, I only had one. Well what an entirely acceptable smoke. This was just a good, put a smile on your face smoke. Above medium in strength but I would be hard pushed to call it full. Some flavour, darker hints of chocolate and coffee, a little non-specific flavour wise perhaps but still yummy. I know zero about this cigar, I do not even remember who sent it to me, sorry!
Can anybody shed light on this smoke for me please? I would LOVE to try a few more.
