Tatuaje 10 Miami Selection De Cazador Belle Encre Perfecto

This 5.4 X 48 perfecto cigar, offers a oily dark brown wrapper with slight seems and a slightly toothy wrapper.  This is the 10th Anniversary of Tatuaje brown label edition.  First light reveals a sweet cedar flavor with a slight coffee.  There is a black pepper flavor and sensation that is around a 6-10 on the pepper scale.  The pepper is fairly powerful but smooth. In fact the whole cigar is very smooth so far.  Its at a solid medium body.

After about an inch and a quarter down or so a nice leather has joined the cedar, and slight coffee.  The flavors are very smooth and stay present all the way until the next draw.  After a few more puffs a nice caramel flavor is mixing in with the coffee.  Its very nice and sweet.  The caramel switches back and forth after each draw between a caramel flavored coffee and a faint coco.  The cigar so far is fairly complex giving different flavors after each puff.

Just after the half way point, there are a lot of flavors playing off of each other.  The spice has been tamed a bit.  Its now a 4-10 on the pepper scale.  The sweet cedar is there on the draw, but quickly goes away and turns into a caramel on one draw, and then the next it becomes a coco/coffee mix.  The leather is starting to pick up on the finish and leaves a oil slick in the mouth.  The burn is good, in fact it has been a little wavy but is burning fine, not requiring any re-lights or touch ups.  The smoke production has also really picked up and its giving off large plumes of smoke.  The ash is a perfect white and is solid.

With just over two inches to go the cigar is starting to become warm.  A earthy leather has taken over all the flavors.  No bitterness has come into play, but the flavors are very warm.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark.
