First there was the Tatuaje Mexican Experiment—an extremely limited offering (released in 2012) that aimed to showcase what could be done when Tatuaje Cigars turned its focus towards the growing popularity of Mexican-grown wrappers. Mexican Experiment (or ME, if you will) quickly gained a cult-like status among enthusiasts, often regarded as an all-time favorite offering from Pete Johnson (owner of Tatuaje Cigars).
Perhaps taking advantage of the woke culture of modern America, Tatuaje took the theme and ran with it, showcasing a slightly tweaked followup known as ME II. Mexican Experiment II showcases the same overall binder/filler recipe as the original cigar, only the proportions have been tweaked (and the ligero has most notably been increased) to offer a spicier, more punchy smoking experience. These all-Nicaraguan tobaccos are wrapped in the cigar's signature Mexican San Andrés leaf, allowing for a near-identical profile to the original ME cigar. The resulting ME II showcases a medium/full body, boasting rich flavors of cabinet spices, earth, toasted hardwoods, baker's cocoa, espresso, brown sugar, and touches of black licorice.
While the Mexican Experiment only comes once in a blue moon, the ME II is here to stay! (Remember folks, it's ME II, not #MeToo — a very important distinction...)

Another great cigar from Tatuaje. It has a beautiful San Andreas wrapper with a ton of earthy, peppery full body flavors

Tim Chi - Tatuaje Mexican Experiment ME II Toro (Verified buyer)
Tonight, the smoke choice is Tetuaje Mexican Experience II in Toro.
The cigar looks great, beautiful looking wrapper.
Straight cut. Start with cold draw. Very easy draw, which I’m happy about because my experience with Tetuaje has always been snug draw.
Pre-light started great. Some dark notes like coco or coffee. Neutral sweet with hint of spicy, and citric note at the end of smoke. Very oily and sandpaper texture after the smoke is blown. It was full body flavor right at beginning.
First third. The dark notes toned down, but rest of the characteristic stays. Now change to medium body.
On the second third, the flavors remain the same. One thing I notice the sweet and citric note is really shown on the draw, which I find it very refreshing. The retro on this cigar is smooth, and the smell of the smoke is wonderful.
On the final third the dark notes come back very noticeable. But the flavors shifts up and down a bit as most of final third would.
Overall excellent cigar

Usually keep a box of MEII in the humidor. Get medium stick, box pressed for a good draw. Incredible flavor.
