Tasting Notes

Sweet Cedar – Polished, classic core

Toasted Nuts – Almond and hazelnut depth
Creamy Earth – Smooth, rounded foundation

First Impressions

The Nobles presents flawless craftsmanship: smooth Ecuadorian wrapper, perfect seams, and ideal firmness. Pre-light aromas deliver sweet cedar, bakery spice, and a touch of cream. Cold draw is textbook — just enough resistance, already expressive.

Smoking Experience

First Third – Immediate balance. Sweet cedar and baking spices glide effortlessly. Burn razor-sharp, smoke cool and dense.
Second Third – Complexity builds naturally. Toasted nuts and creamy earth layer in without overpowering the core. Draw and burn remain flawless.
Final Third – Strength and flavor hold steady. No bitterness, no heat, no collapse — just a long, clean, satisfying finish.

Pairings

Alcohol – Bunnahabhain Toiteach A Dhà Single Malt - Gentle coastal smoke, toasted nuts, and subtle sweetness echo the cigar’s depth without overshadowing its elegance.
Tea – China Fujian Jin Jun Mei Black Tea - Naturally honeyed, silky, and refined — mirrors the cigar’s polish and enhances its creamy finish.

Music Pairing

“Manteca” – Machito & His Afro-Cubans
Rhythm, structure, and timeless class — exactly what this cigar delivers.

Final Thoughts

Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles is a masterclass in balance, construction, and flavor evolution. Everything works — from first light to final inch — with zero distractions, zero flaws, and pure enjoyment throughout.

Final Score: 10/10
Why not a 10?
