Initial Thoughts The Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial Robusto was a great looking cigar with a medium brown and very oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf.

Cigar Review: Fratello Lunar Connecticut Toro
Every cigar brand has their “special sauce.” It’s the way they ferment their tobacco, dry their leaves, even the soil they use can contribute to the way a cigar brand tastes. I like almost everything Fratello Cigars makes. Their “signature sauce” is one I really enjoy. Except for the Fratello Oro. Today’s cigar, the Fratello Read more…
