DESCRIPTION: The Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu cigar line was released in 2008 as a limited production cigar. It came in two varieties the Zona del Este, which was the East Coast version, and the Lado Occidental or West Coast version.
The new Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu Tubos is the first of two cigars recently released in aluminum tubes. Tatuaje president Pete Johnson released the Tatuaje Black in a matte black tube while the Verocu was packed in a redmatte tubo. These tubos, besides looking pretty slick, are very handy when taking your cigars on the road to keep them protected as well as properly humidified.
The Verocu Tubos is 6 1/8 inch by 52 ring torpedo that comes packaged in boxes of 10 with the eye-catching matte red screw-bottom aluminum tubes.
FEATURED LIBATION: Double Bastard Ale
Today's featured libation is another pick from the Stone Brewing Company, which is located in Escondido, California. I featured another Stone Brew ale, the Arrogant Bastard Ale, on this show way back in Episode 65. The Double Bastard comes in 22 oz bottles, 3 liter bottles and is available in limited quantities as a draft. It weighs in at 10.5% ABV.
