DESCRIPTION: This cigarcast represents the second in a row that features Tatuaje aluminum tubed cigars. Last week I featured the Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu Tubos and this week, the pattern continues with the Tatuaje Black Tubos.

The Tatuaje Black has a Nicaraguan Sun Grown Criollo wrapper and a Nicaraguan filler and binder. The cigars come packaged in matte black screw-bottom aluminum tubes and in boxes of 10 cigars. This week's Tubo is a 6.1 inch by 52 ring torpedo.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company pioneered the concept of fresh hop ales in America. Fresh Hope ales are those that have been made with hops are harvested and shipped the same day they are picked—where the brew-masters can get them into the brew kettle while their oils and resins are still at their peak.
The Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest Ale weighs in at 6.7% ABV and rates a 66 IBU's on the International Bitterness Unit scale. That is a moderately high Bitterness score, but the actual bitterness can be balanced by the amount and type of malts used in the beer.
