Description
The Tatuaje Reserva Broadleaf SW Churchill is a 7 x 47 Churchill: dark Connecticut broadleaf outside, Nicaraguan tobacco for binder and filler. Tatuaje has it made at My Father Cigars in Nicaragua as part of its Reserva Broadleaf Collection.
What It Tastes Like
A halfwheel reviewer smoked three after the February 2017 release. Roasted cashew and bitter espresso came first, then peanut and cedar with a sweetness like dark fruit building underneath, before the flavors blurred in the last third. The review gives no numeric score but ranks it first among the five collection sizes the reviewer had smoked.
Who It’s For
- Tatuaje Brown Label smokers curious how a familiar size changes under broadleaf.
- Fans of slim Churchills who like a 47 ring over a fatter toro.
- Coffee-and-nut flavor seekers, given the espresso and cashew halfwheel picked up.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- halfwheel’s reviewer preferred it to four other sizes from the collection
- Draw was spot-on in halfwheel’s samples
Cons
- halfwheel’s samples needed burn corrections late in the smoke
- Flavors lost some definition in the final third
- No Cigar Aficionado rating could be found for this exact broadleaf vitola
About the Reserva Broadleaf SW
The SW first got a dark wrapper in March 2009 as the Reserva SW Maduro, which Pete Johnson made to honor Paul Hernandez, a sales rep and friend who had asked for that wrapper. In 2017 Tatuaje put Connecticut broadleaf on ten Brown Label sizes, the SW among them, and called the set the Reserva Broadleaf Collection.
Pairing and Storage
Since espresso shows up in every third, a double shot or a bourbon suits it; our cigar pairing guide lists more medium-to-full matches.
