Cigar Coop Review: Tatuaje TAA 2014
Show Video: Episode 129
For the fourth consecutive year, Tatuaje has an installment for the TAA retailers. For the Tatuaje TAA 2014, brand owner Pete Johnson returns to the original Broadleaf blend that was used on the 2011 and 2012 editions that his company made (the Tatuaje TAA 2013 version was based off the Tatuaje 10th Annversary line), but in a different size. Like the 2011 and 2012 sizes, it is a box-pressed Toro which is slightly wider (6 x 52) than the 2012 (which was 6 x 50)
There were some parallels to the Tatauaje TAA 2011 and Tatauje TAA 2012. Overall I found the TAA 2014 to have a simpler and somewhat dialed-back profile. This was a cigar that did not undergo a lot of flavor transitions, but it did deliver flavor nuances. The TAA 2014 delivered notes of espresso, black coffee, cocoa, earth, and black pepper. The profile turned more earthy and peppery in the second half – with a stronger pepper kick at the end. The flavors start out medium to full-bodied and go to full-bodied in the final third. The strength starts medium and progresses to medium to full by the second third.br />
While it was nice to see a return to the Broadleaf box-press, something was missing from this cigar compared to the 2011, 2012 (and even 2013) releases. This is still a release I’d recommend – especially for Tatuaje fans.
