Best Tat Yet!!!

longknocker · 08-29-2010, 08:23 AM

Most Of You Know I'm A Tat 'hore; I Love Them All. I Bought A 5'er From Jim, "Kenyan Sand Boa" & Received Them On 8/17/10

These Are The New Release "Pork Tenderloins" 5 1/8 X 52RG, Broadleaf Maduro With Nicaraguan Filler & Binder. They Actually Smell Like A Nice Rare Steak!
On With The Review:

I Detected A Nice Mixture Of Flavors Initially: Touch Of Spice, Pepper, & "Tanginess", Just Like I Like My Smokes. Draw & Burn Were Excellent; Strong Ash of 1.5 Inches As You Can See.

Here's A Close Up Of The Nice Triple Cap. Strong Nicotine In This Bad Boy, Not As Much As An Opus X Or Chisel, But Still There. Make Sure You Eat Something Before Smoking This One. Also, Smoke This Beauty Slowly; At Least 1-1.5 Minutes Between Puffs. He Won't Go Out On You, And He Gets A Little Harsh If You Smoke Too Fast.

Here's The Nub: 80 Minutes Of Pure Bliss! Flavors Were Basically The Same Throughout: Touch Of Spice, Pepper, A Little Sweetness, & That Typical Tat "Tanginess" That I Love! Price Point Is Around $10/ Stick. Thanks Again, Jim, For The Awesome 5'er! This Is Definitely Boxworthy & No.1 On My Tat List So Far!

Awesome review Greg

Great review Greg...I torched one last week and enjoyed it as well.

bigliver · 08-29-2010, 08:25 AM

Burned my first one of these tonight as well. Spot on with the review in my opinion. I'm kind of bummed I only have four left.

neoflex · 08-29-2010, 08:26 AM

Awesome review Greg. I am hoping these are not as good as everyone has been saying simply because I know I will kick myself for not jumping on more than a 5er.

Adriftpanda · 08-29-2010, 08:26 AM

Yeah, this was a good one. Much better than the La Verite and it cost a whole lot less!

This cigar really hit me, I had to lay down.

Huy, What Was Interesting Was I Felt The Nicotine "Kick" During The First 1/3. Very Unusual For Me; Since I Usually Smoke Full Bodied Sticks.

Its okay Mary just make sure you put your big boy pants on next time.

side note. Had the new Petit Cazadore the other day at West Coast. I tried a few puffs of Mikeys. I bought 3 afterwards. For under 4 bucks its a damn good stick.

TripleF · 08-29-2010, 08:35 AM

Great review brother!! I look forward to experiencing one of these some day!!

Adriftpanda · 08-29-2010, 08:35 AM

Greg, why did you capitalize every word?

You felt the kick 1/3? Hmmm that's interesting, I really didn't feel it till about 20 after I smoked the cigar lol. I seriously thought I had to throw up... I have a couple more. Gonna sit on them for awhile since I am not a fan of smoking full bodied smokes often.
