Tatuaje La Verite 2008
Welcome, everyone, to Episode 093 of Half Ashed – featuring the 2008 Tatuaje La Vérité Churchill. Craig’s description was as follows: “Tatuaje’s La Verite 2008 Churchill is our CoTW. Released in 2010 to much fanfare, these “single origin” cigars are similar in fashion to the “farm rolled” cigars found throughout Cuba. All components were grown on Jose Garcia’s La Estrella farm in Esteli, Nicaragua and are from the 2008 vintage Habano Criollo (read: Criollo. All Criollo tobacco came from Cuba originally). Besides being a single vintage, single origin cigar, the tobacco used was not aged in bales. After fermentation it was rolled into finished cigars and box aged until sale.”
News
Tune in to find out how it went…and just how our experience went with this cigar. In the news, we only covered a few stories this week. Last week was relatively light in cigar news, except for several legislative issues that are coming to a head. We did have a couple of stories from Tatuaje, and an interesting item from Padilla and Oliva. Of course, we also spent a little time talking about what we’ve been smoking this week and covered a listener email from Don Hubbell.
