Tasting Notes
The Tatuaje Especiales Reserva Broadleaf delivers a complex and balanced smoking experience. Upon lighting, you’re greeted with rich toasty notes complemented by a distinctive peppery character. As the journey progresses, the profile evolves to reveal layers of complexity with notes of earthiness, subtle fruitiness, and a natural sweetness characteristic of quality broadleaf tobacco.
The smoke offers remarkable creaminess with undertones of leather, baked goods, and various spices. Some aficionados detect nuances of walnut, mushroom, and woody characteristics that provide an excellent foundation throughout the smoke. The broadleaf wrapper brings a chewy richness that distinguishes it from the more peppery profile of the original Brown Label line.
Craftsmanship
Each Tatuaje Especiales Reserva Broadleaf is meticulously handcrafted by master torcedors at the esteemed My Father Cigar Factory under the watchful supervision of the Garcia family. The construction features the characteristic Cuban triple-cap, showcasing the brand’s commitment to traditional Cuban cigar-making methods. The result is a well-balanced cigar with excellent burn properties and a slow, even combustion that allows you to fully appreciate its complexity.

I personally love a great lancero and this is exactly that!! Nice bold and long last flavors that you’ve come to expect from anything Tatuaje. The Broadleaf Reserva is a personal favorite of mine and a must try if you’ve never had it. They also age wonderfully, an added bonus if you’re able to rest them for a while.
