It just ain't right...My first Tat - BOTL Cigar Forums

sofc · 03-09-2010, 04:21 PM

Here are pictures of my beautiful first Tatuaje; an excellent looking cigar that appears beautifully constructed. I was so ready for it.

I've been smoking for fifteen years or so but it was my first Tat. After coming on this board and seeing all the PeteLove, I thought I would give it a try.

It was outside on a beautiful day in the Great White North. I made the cut and toasted the foot. I could smell the joy already.

I lit the thing and here's what happened.

It just ain't right.

In all fairness to the cigar and the brand, it smoked beautifully even in this condition. But to go from no issues and perfect looking cigar to that in a couple of puffs...

Here's the final result after about an hour and 15 minutes of enjoyment.

Bummer about the wrapper man, but it looks like you enjoyed it all the way to the end!

That can happen time to time. I started leaving them in my humi for 3-4 days after purchase and have not had and issue since. Don't give up hope...they are great sticks

It was in there for a week or so. I don't usually smoke anything the first month or so after I buy them but I couldn't resist this one.

Thanks AJ. I smoked it until I couldn't. It will definitely be a regular addition to the humidor.

I tried the man o' war stuff for the first time and I love that too. I ordered the Mi Barrio El Puro yesterday (only cause the dude on the picture looks like my dad) and am looking forward to trying that. Tat box might have to wait 'till next round.

don't give up on tats because of this one incident. almost anything from Pepin's factory that I've tried has smoked flawlessly

Psojka RP,601 · 03-09-2010, 05:44 PM

Robinsond · 03-09-2010, 05:47 PM

I have never had a Tat split on me like that. Guess it happens even to the best of them.
