The Tatuaje Cabaiguan Coronas Extra brings a Nicaraguan twist to the classic coronas gorda format. Measuring 5 5/8" x 46 ring gauge, this box-pressed parejo comes in 24-count bundles priced at $205.20 - about $8.55 per stick. Its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper shines with oily smoothness, hiding Nicaraguan long fillers that promise more kick than typical Connecticut shade cigars.
The cold draw releases cedar shavings and white pepper. Initial puffs bring creamy cashew butter with subtle baking spices. Smoke output stays moderate, with a clean finish that leaves faint honey sweetness on the lips.
Peppercorn intensity builds as the core shifts to roasted coffee beans. Earthy undertones emerge without overwhelming the palate. The burn line stays razor-sharp despite the delicate wrapper.
Dark chocolate bitterness balances lingering sweetness in the last inch. A mineral tang appears alongside caramelized nuts. No harshness develops, though nicotine strength peaks at mild-medium.
