Quick Smoke: Tatuaje Havana VI Victorias

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This thin, six-inch cigar with a pigtail cap, labeled a “Corona Especial” by Pete Johnson, puts the “V” in Havana for the eight-vitola Tatuaje “Red Label” line. And it’s a particularly tasty one, producing thick smoke, spice, and hits of coffee and licorice. At a 38 ring gauge, the Habano Ecuador wrapper mixes wonderfully with the Nicaraguan filler and binder.

Verdict = Buy.
