Overall Experience:
The Tatuaje Skinny Monsters Hyde is a pretty consistent flavored smoke all the way through with not a ton of complexity on the transitions. Now the flavor profile itself was awesome with the wood, cinnamon and leather, which for me is always a great mix so I thoroughly enjoyed the cigar. Would I pick this one up again? I probably would go with one of the others in the Monster line instead that have a little more robust flavor profile, but if I were in the mood for these flavors definitely.
