I have found a great cigar !
I don't know how many of you have recently had the Cojonu 2003, but I find this to be, at least these days, an amazing, fantastic cigar. And I say this after having 4 or 5 of these, purchased all from the same shop here in manhattan. THey are pretty expensive at $17 each, so I went ahead an ordered a box online for a fraction of that (and $100 less for the box than in the shop!!). The box arrives tonight and hopefully will be just the same. I will certainly have one right away and will post about it.
I usually smoke cubans but occasionally I don't shy away from experimenting others. Problem is, I have found nothing that would compare favourably, until I met this Tatuaje. It smokes beautifully, perfect draw and it provides me with most of those flavors that I love so much in cubans, a mixture of perceptions that makes it interesting, fascinating, truly a pleasure. And consistency: 5 cigars out of 5 being perfect it's a great record. They say the main problem with cubans is consistency but while that is true in my experience so far, the same equally applies to non cubans. I have had to throw away plenty of non cuban cigars, frankly, way too many.
Now I am really curious to see if things go as well with the box.
Also, on another note, I went to another shop last night, closer to me but they had no 2003s, and I purchased a Gran Cojonu. I was very very excited about it, given my experience with the 2003, but hey, it is such a disappointment.
Anyhow, I wanted to share my findings about this guy and see if any has had similar experience. I did a quick search for reviews but most were dated years ago so it could be that currently this cigar is near its best !?
