Default Tatuaje Monster Series - The Frank



Tatuaje Monster Series - The Frank
Double Corona, Box Pressed
Smoke time: 2 hours


SETTING:

In my garage, immobile, about 60 degrees outside, raining, drinking homemade hot chocolate with rumple minze.



SMOKING EXPERIENCE:

The pre light for this stick tasted like pure dark Nicaraguan tobacco, sweet tobacco, just good sweet tobacco. This stick was packed with flavors, dark chocolate, spice, cedar, hints of leather, it produced tons of smoke, the stick mellowed out and went to straight Nic tobacco with no spice and then came back about the 1/3 point and POW more spice with cedar and dark chocolate. The end got a very deep cedar flavor, not bitter but very dark and deep.



CONSTRUCTION:

Wonderful construction, no big veins, no running, required a small touch up about 2/3 through.



OVERALL:

This was a fantastic smoke. I loved it. I can't wait for the Drac next year. I might need a box of these for long term, being a Tatuaje and Monster Movie lover.

Great review and pics. Dennis, DCamacho was nice enough to gift me one. You can see a great interview he did with Pete Johnson last week The Cigar Spy.

Im not familiar with that site you are on in the background?

The Rumple Minze helped that.

Thanks for the review. I was wondering if I missed out on anything and it looks like I did. Oh well, I'll make sure I grab some next year.

Good review!

Got one of these over the weekend from a friend in the business. Waiting for the right time to smoke it.

I posted a short review on CS about this one a couple of days ago. I am still surprised by this one. It was definitely milder than I was expecting (probably medium-bodied) and was very good straight out of the mail (I hadn't even put the box in a humidor yet).

I am glad I was able to pick up a couple to put some away for the future.

Great shots and story, D!

Bother... I totally forgot about your knee slicing. :-<

Sounds like you are doing okay, considering!
