Rank the Monsters!
 

I don't know if this has already been done at some point, so pardon if it has, but with recent arrival of the Little Monsters, I was curious to see how you think the regular line of Tat Monsters rank...

I haven't smoked all of them (have a Wolfman, just haven't fired it up yet), but here's my rank:

1) Frank (far and away the best IMO, and probably in my top 5 all time for NC)
2) Boris (technically not a monster I guess, but I've ranked it)
3) Drac
4) Face

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Frank, Drac, Boris, Wolf, Face

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Now, or when released?

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Frank, Boris (although not really a Monster), Face, Drac, Wolfie. Hope the Mummy is good.

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Never smoked one. Have a tat face in the humi though.

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Of the three I've had: Drac.. Face.. And Wuffy being the worst!

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

For me...

Boris
Frank
Drac
Face
Wolf

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

That's a fair and good question. For you, has any one or more of the monsters gotten either better or worse with age on them?

I never got any full boxes, so no freshies for me: the ones I've smoked always have some age on them, so I don't have a frame of reference.

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

For me it's:

Boris, Frank, Drac, Face and a way distant Wolfman.

Just had a Frank Jr today. I thought it had very much the same flavor as the original but obviously more pronounced flavors being fresh. Had a nice twang to it which led well to retrohaling. Gotta bit of peppermint at the end. Smoking the Mini-Mum right now.

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Boris
Frank
Drac
Wolf
Face

Does every monster discussion have to distinguish that the Boris is technically a monster or not? IIRC, when it was released it was referred to as the Monster out of costume series. Wouldn't any attempt to say it's not in the monster series or it's only part of the actors series after the fact be equally wrong, as it's a change from when it was initially released?

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

When fresh:
Frank
Boris
Wolf
Drac
Face

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

I've only had Face and it was fairly bland and boring.

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Yes, it is. Boris is smoking the best right now out of the group.

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

For me it's Frank, Boris, Wolfman, Face and than the Drac

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

Not sure you can count on him to come back. He's only rollin on half a wheel.

Re: Rank the Monsters!
 

LOL!

Sorry, I missed the question...

The Frank was one of Pete's all time great releases when first released, but has really gone off the edge in terms of flavor, IMHO...still a pretty good cigar, but not even close to what it was...(last smoked about 5 months ago)...

The Drac seems to have gotten better, which is a good thing, but never lived up to the prerelease, which was phenomenal...

I never loved the Face, but thought it was good, if a bit large and monotonous flavor wise...

I really liked the Wolf, love the Sumatra wrapper, and think they will get better...

The Mummy has the same wrapper as the Black Label, so I am really looking to seeing how that performs.

IMHO, the Boris is the standout winner in terms of aging and flavor...still has lots of legs left, still has that signature Mint flavor...should have bought more :)

Hope that helps!

Yep, that's awesome insight. Thanks! :tu

I have one Boris left, so I'll probably hang onto it for a while and see how it goes. I loved that mint flavor.
