I just opened up a red and black tube and didn't notice any paint smells, I will have the girlfriend give them a smell when she gets home. I would try one but the weather is not allowing for that.... :argh:

Thread jack: Did you get snow this past weekend? If so send some down here, I need the OT!

mmmmmm....that is a bummer on the initial taste. Prolly not a bad idea to pull em from the tubes/box for a week or so if u think there is some contamination. Should fade like with the dracs and be even more delicious! Thanks for the heads up!
Now back to finding them;)

let me just say that I am in no way saying I am outraged or upset or whatever...I will gladly continue to smoke the remaing sticks and I am sure they will be great....I just wanted to see if it had happened to anyone else. Since I have not smoked a black yet, I can't call it either way. This was just my initial experience, didn't mean to offend anyone.
no offense brother. Since you have also reposted (no hit an run) in this thread I am feeling a little guilty for jumping to conclusions......

So MY Apologies for jumping to conclusions......

I hope your sticks loose the smell quickly and they will be a worthwhile experience.

The cigars themselves don't actually smell like paint, they smell great. It wasn't until I cut it and took a draw...thats when the taste of paint hit me.

Well Chuck the tubos were finished 6 months ago and there is no way they would give off a paint flavor. I do appreciate the feedback and will look into it but it makes no sense.

Found a box of reds on door step today. They will sit in my locker at the Leaf for a little down time.

My local B&M's are being very vague as to whether they're getting any Tat Tubos in. I'm still trying to find some Tat Blacks - hopefully I'll get lucky soon. In the meantime, thank goodness for people like Dan...

Please allow me to cheer everyone up with some nice Verocu Tubo porn. :thumbsup:

And yes, Brandon, the box is really huge & heavy! :smokingbo

Good to hear Pete. I wonder what he is tasting?
