For me the OG brown label and the black label blends are my favorite from tatuaje. The black label toro is my third favorite vitola of the black behind the corona gorda and BC. The first third is very spice forward, then transitions to earthy dried stone fruit, then the final third I get almonds, cocoa, and pepper returning. Great smoke try it if you can

I liked this. Good solid flavors from this. I got cedar, very light molasses and light roast coffee. Some earthy notes came on the retrohale on this. Nice draw on this specimen. Burn was solid… had to relight once but nothing bad. I prefer the petit robusto as I felt the flavors on that are a little more pronounced. Overall very good stick.

I enjoy the black label stuff a lot. More spice and pepper strength in this line over the brown labels, but it’s well done. These age phenomenally.

I enjoy both black and brown core tats. I will say black tend to be a little more spicier than brown. Both are top quality construction with zero burn issues.
