Tat Black - I don't get it.

357 · 05-11-2009, 11:05 AM

Interesting...

Got one in the humi, never tried one yet. I love the aroma of the only one anyone smoked in my presence, but I've said that before and not liked the cigar when I smoked it myself.

Have been gifted a few of these and smoked everyone one as I received them.. I really enjoyed them all. If they weren't so damned expensive, I would probably buy a box. errrrrr jar I mean.

LOVE the Black -- lots of great peppery flavor. Nothing Cuban-esque about it. Been trolling the dark side these past few months, but one of the only NCs I've had during that time is the Black -- and I don't regret it. (FWIW, the DPG Blues are great too.)

Sounds like a date.

I'll never get these either, as 13.00 or more per smoke is waaayy out of my range, period. The laws of diminishing returns hits cigars way below 13.00 a stick for me anyway.

I smoked my first Tat Black last night. Good smoke. I'm not sure if it's $13/stick good, but the jury is still out. I will have to get my hands on a couple more to be sure.

I've had the corona gorda and the robusto from a friend about a month ago. Good cigar, a little too strong/harsh for my taste.

The Cabaiguan blend is where it's at for me from Pete Johnson.

Had one given to me in a trade and smoked it a month ago max, my first, probably my last.

Very NC, not a bad thing in and of itself but neither do I see how anyone could equate one to the flavor of a Cuban, much different.

Similar to a young or high rh San Cristobal, AshstonVSG or JdN Antano machito. Metallic and a bit tarry

I received 1 Tat Black in my NC MAW pack from Shellie, but I have yet to smoke it. I may have to fire that sucker up soon!

Just thinking about it, I'm not even sure what size it is or how old it is.....

So far I've been enjoying mine. I think it is the strength that appeals to me but it is also very flavorful. It is a nice departure from my usual.
