Tatuaje Black Label Corona Gorda

Toady we have the Tatuaje Black Label Corona Gorda.  This cigar has a milk chocolate brown wrapper with some predominant veins stretching the length of the cigar and has invisible seems. It also has a closed foot.  It comes in at 5.6 X 46. First light has a slightly snug draw that is producing a good amount of smoke.  The flavors on the draw are a black pepper flavor and tingle sensation with a natural sweetness.  The finish has a bold leather that turns to a cedar and black pepper near the end.  The burn is razor sharp through the first inch.The finish flavor stays on the palate long into the next draw and is at a medium to full in body.

Two inches down and the ash is still holding on nicely! The draw has opened up slightly and is still producing good smoke out put.  The flavors on the draw remain to be the black pepper flavor pepper and tingle sensation with the natural sweetness.  One draw the finish will be dominated by a creamy leather and the next draw it will be a cedar and earth with the leather in the back ground.  The cigar is still at a medium to full in body and is burning razor sharp.

Three inches down and the cigar has transitioned slightly on the finish.  The black pepper flavor and tingle sensation are starting to ramp up.  The leather and creamy cedar and earth are present and a slight coco note is coming in every few draw or so.  There is also a nuttiness that has been creeping in on the finish as well and all the flavors are mixing nicely together.  The burn remains razor sharp and the body is now at a full.

With just under two inches left the cigar started to get warm and the flavors started to get washed out.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark, which is a great burn time for a small ring gauge cigar.
