Tatuaje Fausto (meaning 'splendor') is a daring blend from Tatuaje. Heed my warning, the Fausto is not intended for the faint. Greeting you from the outside is an Ecuadorian Habano Maduro that shines with ample oils. Beneath this dark leaf, a hearty combination of Nicaraguan long-fillers and Nicaraguan binder awaits. Upon taking flame to foot, notes of pepper, earth and leather rush to the palate. As the burn progresses, expect additional notes of oak, espresso, and rich tobacco as a slightly peppery flavor enters the fray. A smooth, dark, and powerful cigar, the Fausto makes the perfect accompaniment to a large meal. Good news! Tatuaje Fausto has received an outstanding 93-rating and was honored as the #14 cigar on the Top 25 Cigars of 2018 list. The review noted: "The smoke is a dense, concentrated cigar, full of coffee bean, earth, white pepper and a sweet hint of molasses."
