Tatujae Cojonu 2006 Torpedo 51/2x 52

Tonight I am test driving a Tatujae Cojonu 2006 Torpedo 51/2x 52 Triple Nicaraguan symphony of flavors! Pre-light aroma was enticing. Right from the start this cigar spoke to me with flavor and character. After the first third I would say this stick is a medium to full bodied smoke with creamy espresso and wood. I started to have a burn issue that corrected itself and had lots of smoke. The draw was medium to loose and this toothy cigar emitted thick white-grey smoke that smelled all so good. Flavor was very Nicaraguan and similar to, but quite a Padron 1926 natural, which really surprised me. Construction was first tier, but not the best due to a few burn issues halfway through that I had to resort to my torch to correct. The dropped off at an inch and one half and it reminded me of some sharp pumice stone, which I could have swore I felt when it hit my ceramic Padron ashtray. I have read several reviews and many complained about feeling nauseous and that this stick would knock you in the dirt. OK, I was fine and really enjoyed it. If you are a beginner smoker I have one word BEWARE. This is for a seasoned smoker that can appreciate a quality strong cigar with some moderate complexity. This is a good cigar that I would rate a high 8 on a 1 to 10 scale.

Cheers!

Nice review! I've heard great things about these. I've really been wanting to try a couple, but non of my B&M's carry them, and I can't find singles anywhere online.
 
Thanks for all the fine reviews... seems like you are really taking good care of yourself lately!!! Keep up the good work!! Remeber...."life's too short to smoke cheap cigars!" :ss
 
Great Smoke, Great Review.

I had one yesterday after lunch. Draw got a little tight on the last third, but still a great smoke.

I do not smoke fine cigars everyday, but since I am new to the board I want to share some of my thoughts with fellow gorillas...
 
I love anything Tatuaje right now... actually anything Pepin Garcia. Man, you have been smoking some good gars.. 64's, 26's, Tatuaje....
 
Nice review. I'm sittin on a couple of these also and it is going to be a test of my willpower not to smoke atleast one this weekend after this review. Nice job.
 
Thanks for the review. All Pepin Garcias' lines seem to be well liked but particularly the Tatujaes. On my list. :ss
 
Possibly one of the strongest cigars I've smoked. Be prepared and smoke after a good, hefty meal. The flavor is certainly there but the strength can detract from subtleties of the cigar if you're not prepared for it.
