Continuing the Pudgy series this week with the Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters Face from the Pudgy set Pete released. This set was a gift from Todd and Rick.
Cigar
This Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters Face has two little rips down the back of the “label” that make it look like ties for a leather mask. It’s pretty cool.
This Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters Face starts off with a bit of pepper and woody flavor. The smoke is real meaty but not strong. Just a few puffs in and some dark roasted coffee has blasted through. A little over an inch in and the coffee is changing to a dark chocolate with a woody base. There seems to be a subtle fruity taste also but it isn’t prevalent enough yet to place a name to it. Halfway through and really enjoying the dark chocolate with the subtle spice. Still a very meaty texture but no harshness at all. Call it a medium strength at this point. The fruity taste never developed and went away after a few puffs. Ash held on the entire first half and is very white. Bitterness picked up towards the end with the woody taste becoming more prevalent than the chocolate. Meaty texture went away and got a little more sharp probably because of the bitter taste. Definitely hit the full range but not overpowering in the least.
Wrap-Up
Would I buy it again? Probably. I do remember liking the full size Face better but I would not shy away from these if given a chance to smoke more. It just didn’t reach out and cut me with a chainsaw like the full sized version did.
Had a bonus post from me earlier in the week Tatuaje Jekyll – Group First Impressions in case you missed it.

I have to admit that I’ve never had any of the full sized Monsters, but the Baby Face was my favorite of the Little Monster series. I just may have to pick up a box of the Pudgies. In interested in seeing how you feel about the series in general.
I have only had the Wolfman and I enjoyed it. but I have never really been one to chase down cigars when it comes to Tatuaje stuff. Pete makes some great cigars but I find they are a big steep in price and always hard to get. Great review Mikey!
You got to keep at it with the lighter on those closed foot cigars. Thanks for the review Mike. The Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters Face made an impression. Enjoy the rest of the series.
