Tat's New Monster Series

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...

Yup. He's using a piece of tobacco as the band so you can smoke it the whole way thru w/o having to remove anything (i.e. regular band).

Maybe true, but it still has got to be a kick ass cigar. So far, the monsters have been less than stellar, especially given the hype.
