Smoked one of these last night in the garage. It's the first brown label that I have had in quite some time, and the first in this particular size, so I was really looking forward to it. The construction was flawless, as expected. It lit up easily and the first draw produced a really nice volume of smoke. I immediately notice that this vitola didn't have the usual spice of other Pepin blends. The last Tat brown label I had was a Noella and I remember it being very spicy at the beginning.
This smoke stayed pretty consistent through the first 2/3 and I really had no issues with the burn, other than one relight. It produced huge amounts of smoke and I kept thinking to myself as I was smoking it was that it was much milder than other Pepin blends and Tats that I've had recently. In the last 1/3, the strength picked up and I began to notice a little spice, but nothing like the Noella.
This cigar took about an hour and 40 min. to get through and it was a very enjoyable cigar. After I finished it, I got on the interweb and noticed that it is rated as the mildest of the Tatuaje browns. I agree.
I will definitely pick up more of these and save them for when the weather is better and I can enjoy them on the deck. Overall I give it a solid A rating.
