@NewGuy your’s must be an older release… I have to say your wrapper compared to mine looks much tastier! Mine is okay, but won’t be disappointed when they are gone.

Easiest way to get me to spend money on cigars, put a good looking lady on the band.

Couldn't resist, fired up a Tatuaje 'Creature'. Surprised me as being much milder than I'd have expected. Flavor profile was tasty, but not hitting like I'd expect a Tatuaje. I'll let these sit for a bit before I re-visit.

I’d like your thoughts on the 601 Blue 20th, please.

I’d like your thoughts on the 601 Blue 20th, please.

I was underwhelmed for sure. I was shocked that the ash flaked off after the first 1/4”. Very messy cigar. The flavor was meh through the first 2 1/3rds then finally transitioning into a nice sweet profile. It was short lived and got hot quickly after. The draw was very loose, but burned well throughout. Honestly, for $18, it was a let down. Perhaps I got a dud…

I don’t drink Tequila a lot but just kind of felt like it. In general, I feel it would go better with a Connecticut wrapper. Oh well, G4 Reposado, DE Las Calaveras 2025 and a Caldwell Anastasia Kartel.

Black pepper, earth, wood, aged vanilla and leather. Cocoa, blood orange and toasted baking spices. Coffee, earth and spice. Really dark and earthy. Decent.

I know I know, I’m a nerd and set this whole photo up. But in hindsight, it was for a fantastic cigar and cigar pairing. Johnny Tobacconaut Maduro is something special. The perfect amount of sweetness and little bit of pepper on this one. I may be biased, but this might be my favorite release this year so far. The Buffalo Trace was the perfect compliment as well. Seriously though, go out and try the JTM. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

The construction I experienced was better but I could it to be mild/medium and uninteresting.
