The 2009 is one of my favorites. . . I really hope the face is not better, otherwise I will have to start calling random shops. Lol

I can't say if it compared to the 2009, because I've only smoked one of those and wasn't all that impressed at the time. However...I didn't pick up any pepper out of the gate. The wrapper appeared to have oil streaks in it, and upon lighting...I was picking up the kind of sweetness that I got from the Le Verite. It pretty much stayed the same throughout the first half of the cigar, then kicked over to predominantly tobacco with the final third taking on a very nice woodiness, accompanied by some good strength. I'm gonna go on record and say that this is the best of the monster series that I've had to date. Pete got this one right on the money.

The Frank was real good and so is this one. It blows away the Drac.

Damn, better than the Frank and the Borris? I loved both of those and was hoping these would compare to the goodness of the Frank.

Same here but the Boris really tickled my fancy--what a great smoke!
