Tatuaje Petit Cazadores Reserva

The Tatuaje Petite Cazadores Reserva is another line extension from Pete Johnson in the classic Brown Tatuaje series. This little cigar measures in at 4x40 and comes in a cabinet of 50 cigars. This has the same blend as the regular Tatuaje Cazadores, but with the addition of a broadleaf wrapper (which is what makes it a reserva). This also comes with a covered foot, which is something Pete has done before on several of his cigars, most notably the Tatuaje Black series. 

This is a great looking small cigar, with a perfect triple cap and nice looking covered foot. The dark wrapper has a very even coloration to it, and very few visible veins. I am a huge fan of the broadleaf wrapper that Pete/Pepin are using right now. The prelight draw is snug because of the covered foot, but still tastes of sweet chocolate and earth. After the closed foot burns up, the draw opens up very nicely. This starts out with some very tasty black pepper spice that hits you pretty hard at first, but backs off after the first 5minutes or so. There are plenty of different flavors coming out of this cigar, chocolate, hardwood, leather... definitely a little flavor bomb! The white ash holds on for around an inch. Halfway through there is much less spice, and more of the woody/cedar and leather flavors. The burn is pretty much perfect, not having to be touched up at all.  

What a tremendous little cigar! Talk about big flavor in a small package, tons of spice and other classic Tatuaje flavors. This is a great option if you want a 30-40 min cigar (depending on how fast you smoke) with a ton of character. I really love that broadleaf!  These come in at about $4 a piece, or around $200 for a cabinet of 50. This makes the Tatuaje Petit Cazadores Reserva a very affordable small cigar that won't disappoint!
