Tatuaje havana 6

This dark, smooth oily cigar spreads an aroma of hay and the wrapper is a little veined. The predraw is fine and contains a little pepper. 

When I lit the cigar I was surprised, for a moment I thought I lit up a Cuban cigar because of the typical Cuban leather flavor. After 2 centimeters a peppery chocolate appeared and the further the cigar progressed the stronger the flavors became. The leather returns to be replaced later with a light cacao. The aftertaste is pepper.

Lots of thick white smoke, the ash is dark and firm

Would I buy this cigar again? Yeah, on occasion

Puros Indios Maximus reserva

The cigar has a light wrapper with stains and veins and the light aroma of a stable. The smoke and draw are ok and I could only taste wood. Not a lot of flavor in this cigar.

Would I buy this cigar again?  Nope.

Illusione cg4

This cigar got a high rating at Cigar Aficionado so I was very curious about it and the looks made my curiosity grow. The wrapper is very dark with some veins and a dark natural drawing in the leaf. The aroma was a very heavy manure aroma. The predraw tasted like raisin and was a little too easy. 

When I light the cigar I can taste nuts with a light sour and herbs but the sour flavor disappears soon. Halfway some leather appears with some cacao on the background soon to be replaced with the nuts I could taste earlier.

The smoke is amazing, very thick & white and the ash is firm. The draw is a little too easy and the burn was a bit crooked. 

Would I buy this cigar again?  Yes, if possible, it’s hard to find.
