Well, it was a tough week. Unexpected $400 muffler malarky and spent the afternoon visiting the wife of a friend who passed away recently.
It was a long week and despite being a broke graduate student I found the car pulling me to my local B & M.
Today's choice was going to be a Tatuage, but I wasn't sure which one, so I let my credit card decide.
Tatuaje Havana VI Noble for $8.20. Expensive but the cheaper cigars were too small and I needed some down-time.
Holy-mole, guacamole! Excellent construction and pre-light aroma. I toasted and fired and it burned steady and razor sharp the whole 60 minutes. It did get a little hot near the end but some of that was due to nubbing it and not wanting the smoke to end.
Everyone knows I am new so I won't try and talk over my head about a cigar I have only smoked once. I can say that my expectations were high and they were met with great flavor, a lovely and shifting flavor profile, and a long finish that was always pleasant during and long after the smoke.
Though my experience is limited, this is the best cigar I have had to date and look forward to exploring the line as my wallet allows. The construction, burn, and flavor were just so obviously a notch above anything else I have smoked.
The cigar gods were in my favor socially as well. From a guy in a suit and bow-tie, to a biker, and a professor, we all gabbed about cigars while watching golf.....and the salesclerk as she walked past in a lovely black summer dress. :ccool:
Everybody encouraged me to come back on saturdays and sundays, especially in the winter. During football season people bring food and alcohol.
It was a good day and a landmark day for my palette and my love for cigars and BOTL in general. :guitar:
