If it ain't Scottish...it's crap!
I had a Tatuaje Reserva SW last night...if you can, get your hands on one and try it, it will not disappoint you in the least.
Construction: Cuban style triple cap and flawless, milk chocolate brown,silky wrapper.
Prelight: Aroma can be described as almost sweet/slight hint of floral
Draw: Perfect, hardly any effort to draw smoke (not loose)
Paired with: McCallan <sp?> Cask Strength scotch (another first, incredible stuff, another review all togther, thanks for the tip AVB
)
My experience: My buddy at my local B&M recomended this a while back, so i took him up on it last night.
This cigar starts off like a Monte #2, nutty, a little spice and earth flavors for the first 1/3. The second third progresses to a Cohiba Siglo flavor profile, little more spice, creamy,almost sweet tasting and smelling. The final third was hard for me to put a finger on, but it was one cigar I wish never ended.This cigar took 1.5 hrs. to nub, and i did nub it to the point of burnt finger tips. The finish is long and sweet, and remians om the pallet for hours (that is a good thing, makes me want another even more!)
My wife even commented on how great it smelled when i arrived home. (she usually knows when i smoke a strong one and comments on the smell).
Conclusion: 9 out of 10 (IMHO of course) To me this is as close to a good ISOM as you can get, wonderfull flavors and aromas, and perfectly constructed. I just wish the price tag was a little lower ($13.90 + tax was the price tag).
