Meet the Tatuaje Cabaiguan Guapos Original Maduro - a 5 5/8" x 54 Nicaraguan puro rocking Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. This box-pressed parejo costs $198 for 20 sticks, perfect for those craving Cuban-style construction with New World swagger. My Father factory rollers nailed that signature triple cap, while the mild-medium strength won't knock out your taste buds.
The cold draw serves sweet barnyard. Initial puffs deliver cedar planks and roasted almonds with white pepper tickle. Smoke output stays moderate - about 4/10 density. Ash holds firm for first inch despite the box press.
At the halfway point, espresso grounds emerge through the creaminess. Retrohale brings baking spices - think nutmeg rather than cayenne. Burn line stays razor-sharp without touch-ups. Watch that 54-ring gauge though - needs occasional purges to prevent tar buildup.
Last act ramps up with leather and dark chocolate bitterness. The Maduro wrapper's molasses sweetness fights the earthy undertones. Body creeps into medium territory here. Cut it at 45-minute mark before nicotine creep hits.
These stogies get their earthy backbone from Estelí-grown Nicaraguan fillers, while the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper adds sweetness through extended fermentation. The volcanic soil in Jalapa region contributes that signature mineral twang. Rolled in My Father's flagship factory under strict QC - every cigar gets triple-seam construction for smooth draws.
