Let's talk about the Tatuaje Reserva Nicaragua 7th Natural - Habano, a 5 5/8" x 46 parejo that's been making waves among medium-bodied enthusiasts. This Nicaraguan puro comes in boxes of 25 sticks priced around $213.75 ($8.55 per cigar), wrapped in that oily Ecuadorian Habano leaf we all love. The triple cap holds firm under finger pressure, promising a smooth draw right out of the box.
The first inch hits with black pepper and cedar spice that'll clear your sinuses, mellowing into roasted nuts around the 20-minute mark. By mid-smoke, that signature Nicaraguan coffee note emerges alongside baking spices - think cinnamon sticks dipped in espresso. The final third brings earthy leather tones without going bitter, though I noticed slight tar buildup if puffed too fast.
What surprises me most is the smoke output - dense white plumes even with relaxed puffing. The burn line stays razor-sharp until the last inch where nicotine starts creeping in. Pair it with an iced coffee or añejo tequila to balance the spice. While not quite reaching "daily driver" status due to its price point, it's a solid choice for special weeknight smokes when you want complexity without commitment.
