Tatuaje 7th Reserva Broadleaf (Corona Gorda)
Tatuaje 7th Reserva Broadleaf is a profound reimagining of Pete Johnson's classic "brown label" blend. As a benchmark 46-ring gauge, the Corona Gorda vitola is considered by veteran smokers to be the "golden ratio" for dissecting complex blends. This Reserva version features a long-fermented, exceptionally oily USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The unique natural sweetness of the broadleaf tobacco collides with the spicy backbone of Nicaraguan filler, and under the precise confinement of the 46-ring gauge, it presents a balance with a strong **high-end Cuban essence** and a delicate nutty aftertaste.

【Tasting Notes: Flavor Analysis at 46-Ring Gauge】
First Third: Upon lighting, the draw provided by the 46-ring gauge is very precise, with ideal feedback. The opening is typical Tatuaje style: white pepper spice accompanied by the earthy aroma and dark cocoa flavors of the broadleaf wrapper. Thanks to the full aging of the tobacco, the smoke texture is extremely smooth, without the harshness often found in new-production non-Cuban cigars.
Middle Third: As the burn enters the core, the smoke temperature remains ideally low, and the flavor analysis reaches its peak. Notes of roasted nuts, creaminess, and aged cedar begin to dominate. The sweetness of the broadleaf is not superficial but deeply integrated with the strength of the filler, presenting a highly dense flavor profile reminiscent of high-end Cuban cigars.
Final Third: Towards the end, the flavor density further concentrates. The core shifts to mild leather, cinnamon, and the malty aroma of toasted bread. Thanks to My Father factory's top-notch rolling craftsmanship, even when smoked to the very end, tar buildup is extremely low. The finish leaves a long, oily nutty aftertaste, demonstrating strong balance.
