Pete Johnson wanted to celebrate a decade of his Brown Label. He went to the Garcias in Estelí. They rolled the Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Belle Encre. It is a Perfecto measuring 5 3/8 by 48. Mastering this shape is difficult for rollers. The wrapper is a seamless Ecuadorian Habano leaf.
The entry is a blast of black pepper. You expect this Pepin Garcia greeting. The pepper soon changes. As the ring gauge opens up the flavour shifts. You find creamy cappuccino. You find dark baking cocoa and molasses. The mouthfeel is syrupy.
You must be patient. Wait for the transitions. The Belle Encre evolves every ten minutes. New notes appear. Black cherry arrives. Then lemon zest. Finally, there is a piney herbal note. The walnut and espresso finish lasts a long time. The strength ramps up to a solid medium-full. The nicotine is a slow creep. Don't be casual with it.
The Perfecto shape fights the fire. You are buying a planned physical experience made by expert hands in Nicaragua. It is an investment of time.
