RC 233 Review by the fire...

[dpricenator]

So i took the wife and kids camping in one of the local parks here. Not but 10 miles from our house, but still far enough where the kids thought it was cool. Anyway, I brought a cigar that I would normally never find the time to smoke. If you have never seen one of these in person It is huge. the 233 is milimeters representing the length, so nearly 10 inches long, witha 54RG at the fatest point.

As a perfecto, it lit up just like the vitola said it would, perfecto. I immeadiatly got a great cedar and carmel flavors coming through that really stayed the whole way through.

The ash held for about 1.5 inches at first, and then about an inch at a time after that. Man this cigar is smoooth and medium bodied at this point. The draw is perfect, and the smoke abounds.

At this point the kids were calling for dessert, so....

SMORES BREAK!!!!

I took about 25 minutes off from pictures, but never let the cigar go out.

Still a very medium bodied smoked, and really i am getting the best caramel, and cedar flavors.

By this time it is starting to F me up a bit, Of course I'm 6 Amstel Lights, and a few Natural Ice cans in to it, so I was going to be F'd up anyway. I never got the spice or pepper I am used to with Tats, this one was like a really big Noella. I am not going to toss this thing until it burns my lips.

Ok my lips are burnt and my head is spinning. Someone find me another beer.

I'm not sure if you can see it, but that is the final resting place of my first Tatuaje RC 233. I was worried when I lit this thing that I would be disappointed by some aspect of it, but I was wrong. If I had the time set aside I would definitely smoke this cigar again. Total time from cut to nub was 2 hours and 23 minutes. Thanks go out to ScottiDucati for including this cigar in a drive by bomb a couple of months ago.

Nice review Dave, I never got around to smoking a 233 but really enjoy the 184s. This is on the list for things to try in the summer.

[Craig Mac]

Great Review Dave, sounds like a great smoke and a great time with the family!

[pfm721]

Nice review. I've smoked a few Rc 184's but I guess I'll have to try the 233's now too.

[rick12string]

Nice review and pics. Thanks Dave.

Great review Dave, it's really cool when you can combine the family stuff and self indulgence. I also agree with Terran, more reviews bro!

That's awesome bro. Thanks for reviewing it. Tats are Tats...just great sticks all around. I've been on a heavy Tat Taino kick lately myself. They've just aged wonderfully. That stick you had there was about four yrs old. I'm glad you enjoyed the cigar and time with the family. You're very welcome brother.

Killer review Dave. Great pics as well bro, and the smores looked yummy.

So this was part of that drive by bombing, eh. Nice! I forgot about that. haha.

[dlavallee]

Great review! I've always wanted to get my hands on a few of these, now I want to even more!

[bigbwalls]

Thanks for the review, I've been wondering about those cigars. After your endorsement, I'll be looking to pick some up.

[smokinghole]

Nice dave. So who was smoking a Guapo? I see the band in the 4th pic.

[dpricenator]

LOL, I smoked the Guapo that after noon, and stuck the band in my sock. I acctually never took those socks off, until I got home, cause it ws too damn cold to sleep barefoot. I got home and go in the shower and noiced that guapo band stuck on the drain. It was in my sock for almost 24 hours.. yuck

[njstone]

Dang,. nice review! I've never had one of the RCs, but I am going to have to now for sure ... you had me at "this one was like a really big Noella"!!!!!!

[hdroadglide]

nice dave. I prefer the 184, but both are a wonderul mild stick, unlike most other tats. I highly recommend them.

[dpricenator]

Dang,. nice review! I've never had one of the RCs, but I am going to have to now for sure ... you had me at "this one was like a really big Noella"!!!!!!

Yeah the Noella is probably my Favorite Tat, and this was just like it, but REALLY BIG.

[LawDog2006]

Great review! That's one long smoke

[Jetexas]

Nice review Dave! That smore looks damn good too...

[njstone]

Yeah the Noella is probably my Favorite Tat, and this was just like it, but REALLY BIG.

Amazing, just amazing! I totally have to try one of these now, that's for putting the time in on this one (literally ... almost 3 hours!).

[Gokian]
