TATUAJE COJONU 2012 SUMATRA REVIEW – DOM

Summary: Barnyard, vanilla wafer, and red pepper ride my palate like a wild cowboy.  Giddy up.  Tootsie roll and chocolate shake thicken the pot. 

Halfway down, the flavors stagnate.  No bad notes, but I’m experiencing tastebud fatigue from the same ol’ same ol'.  Chocolate persists, but I happily smoked it down to the end.

TATUAJE COJONU 2012 SUMATRA REVIEW – RICH

Summary: This cigar brought notes of nuts, raisin, leather, cherry, dark chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and espresso.

Draw and burn were both great, and smoke just poured off of it. If you're into lots of smoke, this cigar has your back.

If You Like That, You Might Like This: S'mores

Pairing Suggestion: Bourbon

Perceived Strength: Medium+

Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Box

TATUAJE COJONU 2012 SUMATRA REVIEW – BEN

Summary: Some smoked meats, a touch of pepper in the second, and a little warmth with a hint of sweetness on the end. Maybe cinnamon? Mine did tunnel a smidge, yet self-corrected before the end.

If You Like That, You Might Like This: Decent house blend

Pairing Suggestion: Latte with Oat Milk

Perceived Strength: Medium
