Ok..I smoked the Tatuaje Cojonu 2003 tonight. Unfortunately, I do not know much about this cigar. Well, Smokyballs told me who makes it, but I do not know jack about its origin on the filler, binder, wrapper. Ok, I guess its 6 1/2" x 52 ring guage. I looked that up to verify.
The wrapper was of in great shape. If I remember right, it looked like it had a 4 cap. Yes it had 3, but there was one that covered under the last one about 1/4 around the cigar. I didnt see any veins and this cigar was beautifully constructed. I was expecting a "real" kick from what I had seen others say in chat here. I put the cigar in my mouth just to dampen the cap and it had a nice, little hint of spice off the taste. It had a medium brown color to the wrapper. It wasnt too dark nor light.
I then warmed the end and then slowly fired this bad boy up. My first impression was that it was a mild cigar throughout the first 1/2 of it. I did pick up on some transitions that the taste started to move to another level that it wasnt at before. There was plenty of smoke off each draw which it seemed to be perfect in that aspect. Where some cigars you struggle to get a puff and others you just take a puff, then 1/2 the cigar is gone from the easy draw. This cigar was the ideal draw for me. Yummy...It burned nicely all the way down till when I left Outlaw in KC and let like the last 1 1/2" die out while I got something to eat. At this point, the cigar really moved up several notches, but still not strong. I'd say it was at medium strength at this point of the cigar, but was excellent throughout the whole smoke.
After I let it die out and was on the road driving, it was a little hard trying to keep the cigar burning perfect. But that wasnt cuz of the construction at all. The ash at times was pretty white/greyish. There was a couple of spots that it became dark, but not many. The smoke wasnt over powering in the sense it didnt make my eyes water and burn my nostrils. I was tired, so this was a good sign that it didnt irritate me like some due when I am tired.
Over all impression with everything I look for in a cigar, I'd give this bad boy a 9 out of 10 scale. I wouldnt hesitate in buying another one it was just that damn good. I would have smoked the last 1/2" till I burnt my finger tips. But driving at night and doing that isnt exactly safe, so I sacrificed the last 1/2". I didnt get any funky taste either from the beginning, middle, or end.
I hope this is a proper assessment of this stick. With that said, I have to give a thanks to all that posted about it which made me want to try one. Plus a kudos to Smokyballs for talking me into getting the last one out of the box. :love:
