Tatuaje La Verite 2009 Churchill

[kcmontie]

So anyone had one of these lately. I went to cigar shop I never go to and saw they had some singles. Looked around and the had a small crate with a few boxes. I looked them up and saw good reviews. So I decided to take a leap of faith and buy a box of 10. He gave me a discount too. I will be trying one in the next few days.

I had one a few months ago, didn't have much flavor to it at all tho. Wish I could've tried one fresh upon release.

 

[kcmontie]

I will have to give it a try.... Hope mine will be better
Thanks for the reply

Had one a few months ago that was quite good. I do think it has probably lost its initial sparkle, but still worth smoking. Let us know what you think!

I'd say that the 2009's are really not that great. I'd score it about an 86. There is some debate at the shop about whether the 2008 or the 2009 is better. I'm for the former. If you want a great cigar for a fraction of the price buy Cazadores Brown Label Miami.

So you're saying the tobacco expired?

I just had one myself this past week. I thought it was excellent. Paired great with Glenfiddich 14yr

Lol. Not exactly. More like it's two days before it's "sell by" date, but a day after the "consume within 5 days" date.

Science...

So end of shelf life...

I agree

 

[kcmontie]

I will have one tonight and report back...

 

[kcmontie]

I paid less than Msrp
I am liking the citrus notes , very woody and cream. Great aged tabacco flaver. In the first third

 

[kcmontie]

Well the second third was also very good the cream as picked up and almost malt shake flaver still with aged tabacco very nice indeed.

 

[kcmontie]

Finished her off ... Probably not for everyone but truly in joyed it.
But a have quite a few cigar older than this
