Rank the Monsters!

TJtorpedo · 06-15-2012, 08:09 PM

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

Ismith75 · 06-15-2012, 08:38 PM

Frank, Drac, Boris, Wolf, Face

Now, or when released?

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.

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

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!

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.

maninblack · 06-15-2012, 08:41 PM

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

For me...

Boris
Frank
Drac
Face
Wolf

Chainsaw13 · 06-16-2012, 08:48 PM

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.
