Feb 12th 2012 - Tatuaje The Face

Today brings us the Tatuaje The Face in it's only size a 6 3/8x56 vitola. The Face is #3 in the famed Tatuaje Monster Series and pays homage to Leather Face from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Every year Pete Johnson releases a limited edition addition to the Monster Series and it has developed quite the cult following. The Face features a Mexican San Andreas wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The Face has a very intriguing cap, a closed foot and a piece of tobacco in place of the band. You'll get full flavors of nuts, earth, coffee, spice, pepper, cocoa, wood and a sweetness that rounds it out nicely. I chose this for today's cigar because it was on this day in 1914 that the first stone was laid for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. Abraham Lincoln is widely recognized as one of the greatest Presidents in US history. He was the face of change in the US and we wouldn't be where we are without him.
