Quick Tat Face review
Last night I invited AWsmith4 over to the house to hang out by the bon-fire. Decided it would be a great chance to smoke The Face.
I'll start by saying this is my first one, and it has been resting in my humi at 63% humidity. This cigar is a big boy for sure. After clipping the head, even with the closed foot, the draw was free and slightly sweet. The light was uneventful. The first thing I noticed was a decidedly muted spiciness, nothing like the usual spice kick Tats tend to give. This stick smoked very cool. It was medium-full in body for a majority of the smoke. The biggest thing I noticed was the construction. The ash held for nearly 2 inches, even when we were throwing more wood on the fire, the ash held on. The burn line was dead straight, and I experienced none of the wrapper cracks that some others have experienced. The flavor was very nice. The Mexican wrapper was the star of the show though. The sweetness was very nice, and the blend of the filler was a great compliment to the wrapper. in the last 3rd, I did start to notice just a bit of a nicotine kick. Other than that, a very smooth smoke. I definatly recommend this cigar. Nothing to be scared of. Since I haven't smoked my Frank yet (only one I have) I can't say if The Face is the best yet, but it is better than The Drac, by a mile, and better, IMHO than the La Verite line. A must try smoke. |
