TatuajeVI:So cigar C looked much nicer than B, lol. It was a big one, too. 6x60 or so would be my guess. I would guess Nicaraguan again, due to the thickness of it. Probably habano, medium in shade and a wonderful tobacco smell to it. Cut it with my Xicar. Nice pre-light draw. When I lit this one up, I knew I was in for a powerful smoke. It was a spicy first five minutes. It settled down after a bit, into a wonderful full flavor. Earthy, slightly sweet, but not much, something else I can’t put my finger on that was really nice. I’m really glad I decided to eat something before lighting this one up. Full bodied for sure. A nice creaminess started coming on at about 15 minutes in. Faded after ten minutes or so, got spicier again. Out the nose, not in the back of the throat. It’s managed to stay spicy without being harsh. It maintained a really nice earthy core, and flavors came and went that were very nice. i really enjoyed this one, and have a really nice buzz after finishing it. My guess is a Man o War Ruination.

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!. Great review, Tat. Glad you liked it, the stick has been resting close to 3 months.

Choba:So this is my review of Cigar A Appearance This stick measures about 4.5in X 50, a robusto with a light sweet maduro wrapper. There are no major veins and has an oily sheen to it; smooth. The stick is about med firm with a triple cap I think; forgot to check. Pre-Light The prelight had some leathery tones and med draw. The smells of light chocolate was playing on my palate as well. First Third The first 3rd had more of the sweet maduro chocolatey flavors with bits of earthy tones. There were some hints of nuttiess and cream which excited the palate and made me drool quite a bit. The ash was still holding to about the 2nd 3rd. Second Third The 2nd 3rd had more leather mixed with walnut; almost like a Tatuaje w/o the spice. The spice picked up with powerful cocoa flavors; delicious. The ash dropped and had white in the middle with a thin dark ring towards the outter; lots of white smoke. Final Third The finale had a nice leathery finish and resembled much of my favs, DPG. The undertones expanded and quite a complex blossom of nut, cream, leather, dash of spice, cocoa, earthy flavor. Conclusion Over all,my taste buds couldn't take much more. I think I lost the last bits of flavors due to not being able to taste the rest of the changes. I think this stick is a Tatuaje, though I am pretty sure I'm still off. I do love the Tats and consider myself a Tatuaje whore. Thank you TatuajeVI for the fantastic enjoyment
Hays:Seems like I set an interesting review trend... well, just another sign of my awesomeness..
TatuajeVI:Love the review! You were smoking a Padilla Miami robusto. Love that cigar.
Heavy:3. Tell your dog you'll quit smoking cigars when he quits licking his a$$. That'll knock him off his high horse.
