Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles

Today we have the Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles. This cigar comes in at 5 X 50 and has a very oily dark brown wrapper.  The outer wrapper has a few visible veins running the entire length of the cigar and invisible seems.  At first light the draw is excellent, producing large amounts of smoke out put with minimal effort.  On the draw there is a nice naturally sweet tobacco and earthy flavors with some black pepper flavor and tingle sensation on the palate.  The finish is the same as the draw but more intense.  The sweet tobacco and earth take over near the end of the finish and the black pepper fades to the background.  The body is at a mild to medium and the flavors leave the palate fairly quickly.  The burn is razor sharp and construction has been flawless through the first inch.

Two inches down and the ash just fell off. The draw is still producing large amounts of smoke. The draw flavors remain the same as the first update.  The finish is the exact same as well, only now a sweet coco comes in at the tail end.  The flavors are staying on the palate longer as well and is up to a medium in body.  The flavors are very desert like and are very rich.  The burn has stayed even and the construction remains excellent.

With just under two inches to go, the flavors have shifted to warm chard tobacco with a slight leathery finish.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 54 minute mark.  This cigar has been a go to choice for me lately.  In part because its a quick smoke for me here in Illinois, where the temperatures have been around 10 degrees all winter long.  I do enjoy the rich desert like flavors as well and have gone through almost a entire box of these this winter.
