Quick Smoke: Tatuaje NHC Selección Limitada Capa Especial

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.”

Exclusive to the online boutique New Havana Cigars, this box-pressed smoke features the same blend as the Tatuaje Brown label (with the Sumatra “Capa Especial” wrapper) in a size that’s nearly identical to the Havana Cazadores. It’s more full-bodied than the Tatuaje 7th Capa Especial, with pepper, espresso, and wood, and it falls between medium- and full-bodied. While the the cigar was a bit spongy to the touch, the construction didn’t seem to suffer at all. These sold out in just days, but if you’re fortunate enough to have the opportunity to smoke one, you should jump at the chance.

Verdict = Buy.
