Tat's New Monster Series

maninblack · 08-15-2010, 10:16 AM

Saw a picture on Facebook someone took at IPCPR of Pete's new series. The pic I saw had a box and a cigar, and it was called "The Face". This has me really excited since I've missed out on the past series. Anyone else have any info? Looks like a big cigar from the pic.

It's a 6 3/8 by 56rg. Supposed to mirror the original Leatherface.
Here is an interview with Pete talking about all of his new stuff, including The Face at IPCPR

How boring! My call was it was going to be called "The Mummy" and wrapped in tissue paper. I guess he didnt want to pay for the rights to the name.

That was obvious. But apparently PTJ did not want to pay royalties so he didnt use the actual name just butchered it for his own hype, just as he has done with the rest of the series. Stealing half a name is cheaper than using the real name.

Nice review.

You're not missing anything. The brown labels blow them out of the water. I love Tatuaje but I do not even attempt to get the special releases. They are simply not as good as the regular line. I've had a handful of each Monster Series and they all left me with a big......meh.

cigarmonkel · 08-17-2010, 05:48 PM

The only monster series i've had were the Boris. The Boris was a stand up smoke one of the best Tat's i've had IMO. I had a few Drac's but gifted them out and never got my hands on a frank so i'm only 1 out of 3 so far. But i'm gonna do my best to not do what i did last year (only buy a few of each). So far i really enjoy almost everything that Tat was to offer so i'm gonna try to load up on at least one box. If i don't like them there will be other people that do who i can sell the box too.

I'm really looking forward to this new stick and i think Mario nailed it on the head about Pete.

I've yet to lay hands on any of the Monster series. No Tat distributors out here. How do they compare to say the Tat Black flavor profile?

blah, blah, blah... I'm so over all the hype...I'd rather have a kick ass cigar with no band that comes in a bundle. Probably not going to happen though, because everyone seems to want pretty packaging. The last time I tried to smoke the box, it burned my lungs....so now I only smoke the cigars themselves.

Well you're in luck then because Pete's making 666 boxes for people that want to collect the boxes, but he's also releasing more bundles a couple weeks later for the people that could care less about trying to get their hands on a collectible box. A total of 22,000 cigars I believe.

LMAO, actually, "The Face" has no band (your 1st criteria) and will also come in bundles without the box (your second criteria) so...........

So if you don't like then don't buy. Remember what mom's have been saying for generations,"If you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all."

Besides, I think the OP was asking for info and not opinions even though I just gave mine.

If you have ever met Pete you would be able to tell instantly that this is the case. His love for cigars and the business is self evident.

I am greatful that the monster series is continuing as for a period of time that was in question due to the comments / problems created by the availability from last years release. It simply was not fun to continue.

As for information, I would appreciate any info as well. I do not think anyone has smoked on yet so it may be scarce...

Maybe Pete will chime in on the blend, tasting notes, etc. Better yet, if he could send me one, I will post a review immediatly....

The Face will have a band. If you look at the photo close and there are better photos in an older post the band will be made with a lighter shade wrapper. I'm hoping these will not be as difficult to find as releases in the past but I guess only time will tell.

That is not a band, it is another piece of tobacco...
