Tatuaje Broadleaf Reserva Tainos

The Tatuaje Broadleaf Reserva Tainos begins with an assertive full-bodied character, delivering a rush of dark chocolate, espresso, and charred oak, underscored by a subtle molasses sweetness that anchors the intensity. The retrohale brings forward a bold black pepper kick layered with hints of leather, earth, and a trace of smoked paprika, creating a deep and resonant complexity. Entering the second third, the profile broadens with flavors of roasted almonds, dried figs, and a touch of cinnamon, all carried on a thick, velvety texture. The final third intensifies, offering concentrated espresso crema, bittersweet cocoa, and a faint anise note, culminating in a long, satisfying finish that balances power with sophistication.

Construction is exemplary, with the dark, toothy Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper applied seamlessly over a robust Nicaraguan core. The cigar’s firm, even pack ensures a slow, cool burn, while the draw remains smooth and responsive, producing dense clouds of aromatic smoke. The burn line is remarkably straight with only the occasional, self-correcting wave, and the ash holds in dense, marbled gray segments that speak to the quality of the tobacco and craftsmanship.

A perfect whisky pairing is Booker’s Bourbon, whose high-proof caramel, vanilla, and oak-driven spice match the cigar’s boldness while amplifying its cocoa and molasses undertones without overpowering them.
