Great gesture John!

Re: Surrogates
 

Thank you kind sir. Will do.

Re: Surrogates
 

I find them very similar to the Viaje Skull & Bones and the Super Shot line in flavor, the Viajes may be a little "heavier" but for the money, I would opt for the Surrogates. I like them when I'm in the mood for that type of flavor; however, I couldn't smoke any of them on a daily basis.

Re: Surrogates
 

Curious how these have aged since this thread started. Thoughts?

Re: Surrogates
 

Like most things Tatuaje/Pepin, they age pretty well. I find with age you lose a little of that initial pepper blast on most Tats but overall anything that comes out of the Pepin factory ages very well. :2

since were reviving and old thread, the new animal cracker is a beast of a smoke!

Re: Surrogates
 

I've had the bone crusher, and skull breaker, or skull crusher and bone breaker, I can't remember. Either way, they're both good. I am a die hard DL700 maduro fan, so they weren't quite as strong as I like, but for what it was, I appreciated it, and thought it was a solid $6-$8 stick.

These folks can be out of stock from time to time but they will restock and have the best box prices I have seen under L'Atelier Surrogates:

Animal Cracker? Where did I miss seeing this one come out.

Skull Breaker is a good smoke. I want to try a tramp stamp.

Re: Surrogates
 

Yes, the Animal Cracker is my new favorite of the line. Pretty Stout but flavorful smoke. Would love to see it in a smaller ring,

Re: Surrogates
 

Yes it's on the big side but a great smoke!

Re: Surrogates
 

What's the flavor profile on these like? I saw it on display at IPCPR without much fanfare, but haven't got to try one yet.
