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.

Dracs are smoking real nice right now.

hammondc · 10-28-2010, 02:46 PM

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.

MiamiE · 10-28-2010, 05:47 PM

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

10-28-2010, 05:53 PM

I would try a Drac, haha, just sayin

10-29-2010, 09:34 AM

I'd trade the Drac for a Kuba Kuba if you could...

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.

Haha, if someone wanted to trade me a Drac for a Kuba Kuba, I would do it

you guys must really hate these! Now I have to find some Dracs so I can kill this curiosity

10-29-2010, 11:24 AM

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.

TheStatsGuy · 10-29-2010, 12:26 PM

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.

EricF · 10-31-2010, 01:32 PM

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.

10-31-2010, 01:36 PM

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.

Powers · 10-31-2010, 05:24 PM

Good day in my book

neoflex · 10-31-2010, 05:28 PM

Finishing up a Face. The final 1/3 has been great!

quantim0 · 10-31-2010, 06:57 PM

Just lit up my first Face. Good so far, just a bit more substantial in size then I prefer.

Skywalker · 10-31-2010, 08:36 PM

Smoked the Drac (thanks to Huy) and The Face!!!

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.
