So here it is at long last. I have been obsessing over this thing for months now and I finally have it. The jar is beautiful and of course having already smoked the cigar before, the cigars will be a joy to smoke. I could clumsily try to describe it in words but instead I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Each can be clicked for a large version or click the picture above for a slide show.
Oh my…
A couple notes about the above pictures. The Blacks have been in production for a while. They are not new cigars. They were up until this point Pete Johnson’s private line of Tatuajes made exclusively for him, and why not, he owns the brand after all. That is why you see the name Private Reserve in some of the pictures above. The bottom of the jar has Pete’s signature on it. The fourth picture down in the first column is the inside of the jar lid. I have to say this jar has lived up to the hype. It is one of the most beautiful presentations I have ever seen for cigars. It is truly special and I am one happy cigar smoker today.

First smoking Tatuaje Black:
Not impressed at all. Plain in taste, little chocolate, little leather. It seems like the flavor was muted by something. It didn’t have the wow factor for me although the cigar was very smooth. I would put this in med body smokes.
Second smoking Tatuaje Black:
Wow… This cigar smell so good even when not lit. I light it up, and another wow! Flavor was rich, perfect balance of chocolate, nut, and little floral. It makes me want to keep smoking these little suckers.

are you going to put The Blacks in the Jar? What type of humidification device would u use? I am too sure of using the humidification that it came with. Thinking of using boveda 2 way system 72%. Let me know what you think?

It comes with a Boveda in it, plus I put the jar in my Winecooler.

72% seems awfully wet for Nicaraguan tobacco…

Good Point Sprizzy. I keep all my humis at about 65% Dae. I find just about everything smokes better that way…
