Celebrating its anniversary, Tatuaje introduces the 20th Anniversary line, a regular production series that stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship. This cigar combines Nicaraguan fillers, a double binder, and an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that is both silky and slightly toothy, offering a springy yet smooth feel. The cold draw reveals subtle, yet distinct, sweet pepper notes with an overarching creaminess. Its semi-closed foot ensures easy lighting. The initial puffs exude a pleasant woodsy taste and aroma, reminiscent of a serene evening by a campfire. The smoke is light and airy, surprising for a cigar with such a dark wrapper. It delivers a blend of mild spice and sweetness that intensifies into the second third, alongside the initial woodsy flavor. The construction of the Tatuaje 20th ensures subtle and smooth flavors, a smooth retrohale, and a medium to short finish. The flavor profile is a harmonious blend of earthy, woodsy, spiced, and sweet notes, striking a perfect balance without being overpowering. The result is an exemplary medium-bodied cigar, rich in flavor yet gentle on the palate.
