Tat Black

[cf2112]

A friend stopped by the cave tonite and we deicided to try the Tat Black. Both cigars were dark, slightly oily and firm to the touch. The prelite draw was perfect.

The cigar started with coffee and earth and was full bodied and full strength. As we smoked my cigar started to tunnel and was a pain to keep lit, my friends burned like a champ. By the half way point I had to toss mine as it would not burn correctly. My friend thought his cigar was good but not overly complex. This has been my take on most Tat's while not bad cigars just not my cup of tea and I love Nic tobacco.

The evening continued as I smoked a Punch SS#2 and Tim a PAM and paired with a 20yo Port a great way to end an evening with a good friend.

It was going so well... sorry to hear 'bout your Tat Black. But hey, at least you ended up with another cigar and this time enjoyed it.

Glad you had a nice evening.

Thanks for the review. I've yet to smoke my one and only black.

I have yet to have a positive Tat Black experience - I only have tried the ones released in the jar.I'll have to try another one soon.

On the other hand, I really enjoy the Havana series (red label) much more than the brown labels. The Frank rocked IMO.

I too have had only one positive Tat Black experience. I've only had three of them, the first two just like you described in the original post, the last one was just short of sublime.

Pick me up a three pack Jeff. You can sweet talk Pete out of one.:eyebrow:

If you have any more of those black labels that you would want to part with let me know. I've only had one and it was one of my favorites to date. Everyone has different tastes. They just happen to be in my great range.

Lucky Dog! :drool:

Never had a problem with any Tat Blacks - Jarr, cello'd or robusto.
Send me any that you need to dispose of.

I would buy many, many more if only I could afford (& find) em.

Still can't get my hands on one.

Well, I revisited the Tat Black a couple weeks ago & it was much different from my previous experiences. Very nice flavors, more medium bodied until the last 1/2 to 1/3. Some earthiness and a pleasant musty grass undertone, is what i recall.
It burned just fine for me with a medium draw.

I enjoyed it very much. I'll try another one in another month or two. :smile:

It may be time to smoke my last one!

Reading this is slightly amusing for me to considering how desperately people were trying to land these when they came out. I have thus far only positive things to say for the tats I've tried can't wait to try the black.

I have smoked 2 and i think I have one left. It was a really good cigar. I like em, but my wallet and the release date were not synched properly, so I missed out on a purchase.

cf2112--i really appreciate your review, and that you had the stones to say that you didn't have a great Tat experience. Them's fightin' words 'round these parts, lol.

I have a Black that was gifted to me, and I've decided to wait on it partly to save it for a special occasion, but also so that the hype wears off a bit for me...if I smoked it today, there is little chance it could live up to what I expect based on all the worship I've read on here regularly :headroll:

I've only smoked 2 Tats so far, both Havana VI Victorias. The first was amazing...easily one of the 10 best cigars I've had, possibly top 5. The 2nd was plugged. I'm hoping that was a fluke and plan to try a bunch more, since the 1st one was so good.
