Tatuaje Serie P Sumatra is the most affordable Tatuaje cigar yet, thanks to its blend of Nicaraguan mixed filler leaves. This, along with a Nicaraguan binder and sweet, oily Sumatra wrapper, provides for a medium-bodied smoke with notes of cocoa, red pepper, and cherries. Tatuaje Series P Sumatra is cheap enough to enjoy every day, but tasty enough for any special occasion.
As a discount line created by Pete Johnson, I one should hold the Series P up to the same standards as the flagship line. The Series P initially revealed some poor construction, particularly along the cap seams. I first chalked it up to transit-shock, but even after a week in the humidor, the loose seams were prevalent. (I subsequently resorted to using a V-cut to circumvent the issue) The flavour profile has some attributes of the Tatuaje line, though just slightly less complex. Though a bit flat on the initial one-third, the cigar redeems itself thereafter, with a rich flavour and solid draw. About 6-7 of the 20 cigar batch revealed some inconsistent burn characteristics, slight canoeing. While indeed a discount/mid-tiered price cigar produced by an premium brand, a step down in tobacco sourcing is expected. But, construction? The flavour profile alone spares this cigar a sub-standard rating.
