Absolutely loved this cigar! The flavor was an absolute home run. I loved the size of this as well. Very unique and provides a good smoke time. This was delicious, definitely got a great creamy, cashew and cedar notes that really shines in this stick. I know tatuaje does a great job with their more full bodied stuff but they are really impressing me with their Connecticut offerings. I would not hesitate to pick these up again as it was awesome!

If you like Tatuaje, but you also enjoy a Connecticut blend from time to time, you should grab one of these. It’s not profoundly different than most Connecticuts, but it’s a solid cigar. You’ll get a little extra spice on the retrohale than you would a normal Connecticut blend, without it being too overbearing.

The Tatuaje Cabaiguan Britanica Extra has cocoa-powder sweetness to it and something else in the finish that I really liked but could not figure out what it was. Better than your average Connecticut lines. The draw was a little tight but otherwise great construction.

Tatuaje does Connecticut. I love the shape. Flavor wise, very comparable to other Connecticuts, I didn’t notice anything that really set it apart. But it’s quality.
