Cigar Mission #30

My name is Agent 6. My mission was to review the Tatiana Mocha Caramely. As an asset of The Cigar Spy agency I promise to respect the A.S.H.E.S. code of honor. These are the facts. This is my report.

Target Name:

Tatiana Mocha Caramely

Target Vitals:

Wrapper: Indonesia
Binder: Honduras
Filler: Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico
Vitola: Toro (6″ x 50)

Background Info:

This character from Tatiana was crafted to be a chocolaty sweet, smooth experience. It hails from Honduras, which has approximately 48,200 square miles of mountainous terrain. Hopefully this target isn’t an uphill battle. *smirk*

Mission Notes:

I’ve never been a fan of flavor-infused cigars. I don’t like my targets reeking of something they truly aren’t. My colleagues say the same thing about me. So, with that said, I’m going into this interrogation with a bit of a negative bias.

It’s built well, smells like vanilla extract, and has a very dark wrapper. Elegant! Medium-sized veins, packed with no soft spots.

The immediate aroma off the foot during the pre-light toast is something straight out of a chocolate cavendish pipe tobacco can. AWESOME aroma! I’m pairing this cigar with strong black coffee and it’s amazing. The coffee brings out subtle sweet tones of vanilla and chocolate, although a bit forced with the vanilla extract component.

No burn problems, big volumes of smoke, and a very pleasing cigar!

Nice.

Final Statement:

For what it’s worth, this cigar really changed my mind about flavored cigars. I’ve never enjoyed one as much as this! I figured it’d be over the top and obnoxious, but damn, what an enjoyable evening smoke!

AGENT TIP # 30: When on reconnaissance at a ritzy fondue party, just because there is a fountain of chocolate and cheese doesn’t mean that you can throw nickels in for greater amounts of good luck.
