You can tell Fausto is a very different type of Tatuaje the second you pick one up. It doesn’t bear the script Tatuaje logo anywhere on the box or label. Instead, it utilizes a blocky standard font with the Fausto name in white front and center over a black and red band. This bold label combined with a devilish looking figure emblazoned on the box should give you a hint of what you’re in for. Fausto uses a rich blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos for the filler and binder core. A deep, dark Habano Maduro wrapper grown in Ecuador tops off this bold blend. It’s a powerful blend with thick flavors of pepper, earth and oak with hints of espresso and leather. Fausto is not for the faint of heart. It’s a dark, powerful cigar and should be enjoyed on a full stomach.
