The only one missing is The Frank (and I know these are a rarity). The only problem now is which one do I smoke first? Decisions, decisions.

The Drac is the "let down" of the three...might as well get that outta the way! :D :2

If you're smoking these all on Sunday start with the Boris. It seems to be the milder and more refined of the lot. After that, I say Face then Drac. The Drac is the stonger of the series IIRC. Either way, enjoy!

I think I'll the Boris then Frank on Saturday. If I do that then the Face followed by the Drac will be Sunday. Or I'll smoke them in order of appearance.

Trade the Drac for any other series if you can LOL Then smoke the Boris Saturday and the Face Sunday, both the first cigars of the day so you will get the full taste of them!

Smoke the Boris first, then the Face, then throw the Drac away.

Throw the Drac away, that's hilarious but a little disappointing since I will be smoking my first one on Saturday.

Dude....the one on the left has some dust or something all over it. PROBABLY not safe. Send it to me for inspection.

That looks like a great day! A agree with the milder one first, and gain in intesity with each progressive stick.

Me? I'll probably have a skull and bones late night. :D

The Drac will always be nothing more then a below average cigar in the Tat lineup, IMHO...

While it has gotten better ( ONE YEAR after it was released mind you), there are about 60 Tat blends I would rather smoke then that one...

Save the Drac for some kid that eggs your house and make them smoke it. That'll teach em. Agreed with all of the unfavorable statements above. Even a year later, I didn't find anything enjoyable about it...except that it split after smoking about an inch or so and I decided to pitch it. :sh

I am not a Drac fan at all. Boris would be my #1 followed by the Frank and Face! Smoke the Drac first!

:pu:hy Haven't touched the Dracs I have yet as last year I only bought a couple rather than popping for the box since reviews were less than stellar although I had access to a full box. May have to smoke one this weekend just to see if they are really that crappy even after resting for a year. If it does suck I will at least stop kicking myself for not getting the whole box. I did buy a box of Boris last year and sadly they are pretty much gone minus a couple lonely soldiers as they were awesome. I have yet to smoke the Face yet but by the reviews thus far I agree, hit the Boris first and the Face last. I would torch the Drac Saturday so if it is still as bad as some of you said it is than no need screwing your palette up for the other two.

They're really not that bad...just not in the same league as the Frank, Boris or Face. Kinda like what you'd expect from the red labeled Tats...which I don't smoke myself.

Think I'll skip the Drac (got a few left and they're better now but just okay)

I'm going to go Boris, The Face for the Pats game and then the Pork Tenderloin that night. Gonna be a good day Tater. :)

all of tat's stuff is horribly tasteless trash. I'd rather smoke a pirates gold infused with cat piss that #2 bombed me with. I think it still has some cat liter stuck to it. Eww, can't believe you would ruin your tastebuds with such filth and disgust on halloween. But hey, one mans trash is another mans.. well no that might be giving them too much. :su

You probably have like three boxes. My Kuba Kubas have about a year on 'em.

I was lucky to find somebody from a local shop to buy all of my ACIDS as well as the humi they were in. I really tried to enjoy one once in a while, but it just wasn't happening. I never even thought of making him take the Dracs I had as well... :r

I have the Drac lined up for tonight. I'll be happy to report back. Frank was Thursday and it was meh followed by a little bit of greatness. Boris was supposed to be yesterday but will be right now instead. Face and maybe Skull and Bones manana.

Yesterday was a Face which I thought was pretty good but I think they need some time on them to be even better. Tonight is a Boris and then maybe a Drac or a S&B. Depends on how busy the kids keep us tonight.

The Drac kinda sucked for the first inch or two. Right before the halfway put it got good. It never got great, but it was good. I think with some more time these may still be great.

Funny, smoking one right now and was just about to say the same thing. I liked the Frank WAY better. Still have a Boris, not sure if I'll get to it tonite.

Funny you mentioned the size as the initial reports of this stick was it was going to be an absolute monster(no pun intended). Sitting and smoking it, it didn't seem that bad to me and I was even thinking while smoking how it wasn't nearly as large as I was expecting. I have smoked some 60rg cigars and by the midway point I felt like my damn jaw was going to fall off. I did not experience that at all with the Face. I am wondering if the 56rg that it was claimed to be was the size before it was put into the presses as they usually shrink a size or two from that point on. I would put the Face at a 52-54 Rg tops. The size really didn't come across as a negative for me.
