Face and Drac were not very good. The Frank was great. Boris was not a Monster series cigar. Let's hope the Wolfman is better.

I actually liked The Face. Guess it goes to show how our palates are different. In all actuality I've liked every monster release.

I also liked the Face.(proof that if we all liked the same smokes there would be very few options when you visit your local B&M) I loved the Frank and in my opinion has been the best so far and thought the Boris was the second best of the releases. Yes, the Boris was not technically a Monster but they were released the same time as the Drac and distributed in the same fashion. The Drac was not spectacular but I honestly think it was rushed and still very green when it hit the shops. I got rid of most of the Dracs I had but did hold on to a few to see if they improved with age. The Drac was a bit of a fiasco year anyway with the box issues and the contest going to hell due to legal issues. The nice thing about the Monster series is even if you get a box and decide you don't like them it's not like you are going to be stuck with them. You can always turn around and sell them and I can almost guarantee there will be a line of guys gunning for them. So yes it sucks that you have to buy blindly but the market for these is so that you'll never be stuck with a box of smokes that you don't enjoy.
I am anxious to try the Wolfman as I am a big Sumatra guy so I can't wait to see how this blend smokes.

I'm with Kevin, I enjoyed the Face a lot. Got lots of good caramely sweetness. That said, the RG was quite large and it burned the slowest I've ever had one of comprable size burn. It got a little old toward the end

One of my favorite tats for this reason. Still doesn't beat black jar though....

ktblunden · 10-05-2011, 10:48 AM

I also really enjoyed the Face. I will say that I didn't even try one until a couple months ago, so I never had it when it was fresh. That could make a difference. I had my first Drac this past weekend and it was nothing spectacular. Unfortunately I was never able to get my hands on a Frank or Boris, so I don't have any experience with those. I have high hopes for this release, I plan on letting them sit for a good long rest before trying one though.

FWIW, count me in the "I like the Face" camp as well.....

I know I'm in the minority here but I just don't care for Tat's. I've smoked a few regular release cigars and did not like them at all. I also had a Tat Cojono 2003 and 2009 and didn't care for those either. For the price there are many stick that I'd rather spend my money on.

Smoke what you like and like what you smoke. There are a few lines that are widely regarded by other people that I just don't like at all. The beauty of cigars is no one's tastes are the same.

I was in your position about 7-8 months ago. Couldn't figure out why you guys enjoyed em so much. Eventually my palate changed, and now I'm a full fledged Tat ho.

Moral of the story: Smoke what you like, like what you smoke, but don't write things off for eternity, you may find yourself enjoying them down the road.

Well it sounds like everywhere I've called is sold out. Looks like I'll have to wait to look in the WTS/WTT forums. Dammit.

It's crazy out there for the dress boxes. My buddy called the one shop that was chosen that is local and they told him he was number 104. So it looks like unless a lot of people back out he is S O L. If you have a local shop that is a Tat dealer I would check them out as the regular dealers I think get a couple dress boxes and a bunch of non dress. I was able to score dress boxes on the Drac and Boris locally from a shop that wasn't chosen pretty late in the game too and I could gotten a dress box of the Face from the same shop too but I had already gotten a dress box from another vendor so I just took a non dress box from my local guy so somebody else would have a chance at getting a dress box since I already had one. Also keep in mind the only reason why I got so lucky on the local shop being they were one of the 13 chosen this year is because I put my name on a reserve list 3 months ago before anyone even knew they would be chosen. I was just hoping to maybe snag one of the few dress boxes they got or worse case scenario a non dress box. Low an behold they came up on the list this year.

maninblack · 10-05-2011, 03:21 PM

It pays to be lucky sometimes John! Congrats and glad you could snag a box.

Beagleone · 10-05-2011, 03:36 PM

I got a dress box with my name on it already, but I am up in the air about this one. I liked the Face, not so much the Drac, but I really liked his TAA exclusives lately. I may get it and split the rest off for sale. I'll let you know after they arrive.

shilala · 10-05-2011, 03:52 PM

I figure I can tie up about 7 dress boxes so far. When they arrive, I plan to weave them into a skirt and gird my loins with them, all the while singing the Pete Johnson hymn I wrote. It's got a nice Island Jazz sound to it.
Thank Pete Johnson for the Saints and Sinners Club. He completes me.
