Let's talk straight about this 6-stick sampler that packs Tatuaje's heavy hitters into 5x50 robusto format. For under $50, you're getting Pete Johnson's tattooed fingerprints all over six distinct blends - Havana VI's spice bomb, Black Label's brooding darkness, Cabaiguan's smooth operator act, and three others that'll keep your palate guessing. The Nicaraguan puros come box-pressed with that signature oily sheen, begging to be smoked after a month of rest.
First Third: Immediate pepper spray settles into baking spices. The Havana VI kicks with Cuban coffee bitterness while Cabaiguan shows its Connecticut Shade roots through creamy cashew notes.
Mid: Earthiness takes over - damp soil and charred oak. Black Label's San Andres wrapper pushes dark chocolate tones that linger on the tongue.
Final Stretch: Nicaraguan ligero shows its teeth with leathery nicotine punch. Cut it at 1.5" unless you're chasing that nic buzz.
Rolled at My Father's Estelí factory using Garcia family techniques. The Jalapa valley binder leaves give just enough sweetness to balance Estelí's volcanic soil intensity. These need 65% humidity to tame their rough edges.
