Meet the Tatuaje Skinny Monsters Jason - a 6x38 lonsdale that packs Nicaraguan punch in a sleek Connecticut Broadleaf wrap. Part of the horror-themed "Skinny Monsters" series, this box-pressed parejo comes 25 to a box at $202.50, delivering medium-full intensity through its slender frame. The 38 ring gauge focuses flavors like a flavor laser, requiring deliberate puffing to avoid overheating.
Initial draws release charred oak and black pepper with underlying molasses sweetness. The narrow gauge creates concentrated smoke, requiring 45-60 second intervals between puffs. Ash holds firm for 1.5" despite slender format.
Flavors shift to espresso grounds and cured leather as the burn line approaches midpoint. Retrohales reveal cinnamon zing balancing the earthy core. Smoke output remains moderate - not a cloud chaser's stick.
Mineral notes emerge alongside dark chocolate bitterness. The last inch intensifies with chili spice, though nicotine strength stays manageable. Most users report stopping at 70-minute mark before tar buildup.
The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper shows visible tooth but maintains structural integrity. Box-pressed shape facilitates consistent burn, though some 2022 batches exhibited slightly tight draws. Store at 65% RH to optimize performance.
