Tavago Review

[SIZE=4]A friend of mine bought a case of this Tavago cigars on his recent trip to Trinidad & Tobago. It’s a handmade local cigar, made by a refugee from Cuba and I cannot find any information on the internet about this brand so it’s unique to smoke and review this. Nootje, thank you for sharing this cigar and making this review possible.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]The wrapper is nice oily and smooth, I don’t know the precise ring but I guess its around 40 and about 130mm long. The aroma reminds me of manure.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Leather, that is the first flavor I can discover and soon after the leather I can taste pepper. When the cigar reaches the body there is a clear toast flavor at the palate which is replaced by leather and pepper after a few centimeters. At the end the pepper grows stronger.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]The smoke, draw and ash are all fine, the cigar is light to medium bodied and not complex at all. A nice cigar to start the day with, nothing special but not bad either[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Would I buy this cigar again? It could be a nice morning cigar, if the price is right.[/SIZE]

Re: Tavago

Man, you apparently had a busy night. You must have burnt your taste buds raw by this point.

Though I've never heard of any of these cigars, thanks for all the reviews.
