The Tatouage was quite tasty. I will probably pick up a few bottles once they are released.

Sorry to derail the thread a little, but did he give any info on when it would be released? I've been dying to try some

Re: 2014 Tatuaje Black CG in the Jar
I'm halfway through my second. I have to say I'm rather disappointed in these. They're pretty darn green, which ain't a good thing, but something that can be worked with, the jars are clearly not melamine which they're marketed as(not a huge issue, but still, its BS to market them as such), plus wrapper issues galore. My first one didnt make it past the cutter before a one inch crack down from the cap came about. This second one had a small crack under the band, which wasn't a huge issue, but let me take it out the damaged pile at work, and unfortunately that wasn't even the half of it. About half an inch in a nice half inch crack came at the foot, plus the wrapper leaf at the halfway point cracked and started to try and unravel, and the crack with that only got worse, peaking at a 2 inch crack down the side of the SOB, and as I type this a crack just showed up a quarter inch from the bottom of the cap. Not to mention, I didn't even really cut it, just used my fingernail to pry the cap right at the little bump on the cap, out of fear it would crack again.

What do you think the jar is made of? I received mine yesterday and, although I'm certainly not a plastics expert, it seemed like melamine to me.

Re: 2014 Tatuaje Black CG in the Jar
Well I've smoked two more since then with no wrapper issues which is a major positive, but they're still a touch green to me yet.
The jar seems to be made of just some regular old plastic, not melamine. The fact I can bend the top of the jar to the point of almost breaking, plus the complete lack of a metallic feel(as you would get out of melamine) is pretty damning evidence to me that they're not melamine. |

Oh hey look - a picture of me, haha.
Strange that you've had so many issues with the pre-release bundles? I've smoked about ten of these since the bundle release and haven't had any major issues. The jar I got the other week hasn't been opened yet though, so I can't speak to their quality or smokeability. |
