I love Tats and have been waiting to review this stick. I have recently found the lancero size to be a favorite of mine...and, this cigar was not a let down.
This cigar was a perfect size.
Awesome curly top cap.
Awesome foot.
The pre-ligth draw left a nice pepper spice on my lips.
The first third of the cigar was the normal Tat taste with a little more spice on the lips. I think this ring gauge really encapsulates the tat taste with just enough spice...not super strong either.
The second third of the cigar was a cornucopia of spices, woods and earth tones.
This cigar was like smoking a Ornette Coleman song. He mixed free jazz with blues and that is this cigar..calling out its mixture of wild spices with a smooth earthy tone.
The final third added a hint of nicotine, but not enough to overpower the rest of the cigar taste. It was like Ornette playing with a great bass player. The Nicotine solo just added depth and richness of taste.
The nub continued with the same taste as the final third. what a really good cigar.
The construction was, as usual for the Tats, phenomenal.
I would rate this cigar an 89 out of 10. It is a really good stick.. Pick one up if you can.
