Tatuaje Jar Release smoking status

[Glassman]

There isn't a single unicorn release from Tat that is smoking well at this point. Those sticks would be better served as kindling in a bonfire then for actually smoking.

Don't sugar coat it man. Tell us how you really feel.

I keep all of my cigars at 65-66 and the original and second releases of the Black CG are long dead. Flavor disappeared from these after 2-3 years IMHO.

Well, if the second release plastic jars are dead, I'm even less excited about smoking the original ceramic jar I have. At least the jar still looks pretty...

The one I had recently was fantastic, but I don't like a lot of spice. I thought it was OR, but could be wrong. I'm sure they're worth trying.
For those who have some that feel they've lost 70% of their flavor, I'll give you 30¢ on the dollar for them....

Why even keep Fuentes at all?

Asking for a friend, don’t shoot the messenger.

Inform your friend that once he grows up and puts down the swisher he will understand.

I guess each individual would have their own idea of what the Tat Unicorn releases are. Musubi is certainly htf, some folks might consider it to be a unicorn. Other people might consider the much more available Whore to be a unicorn. For me its those sticks that people spend inordinate amounts of effort to hunt down, speak about with reverence and spend big $$$$ on. Examples include: Boris, Frank, Drac, T110, CQ1, Barclay Rex, etc, etc. Most of those cigars are going on a decade old. Even the CQ1 is 5 years old at this point, and if ages anything like the 7th Capa or the NHC Capa, its best days are behind it at this point.

After that, I couldn't smoke med/full body cigars for a while, and told someone that I couldn't smoke any Tatuajes because it tasted nasty to me. That someone happened to be Pete, when he was visiting G-street.

Hi
Do you still have direct access to the smell of Pete's undies?
Thx

The jar was kept at my b&m's locker at 68-70 degrees and 63-65 RH. Smoked one about half a year ago and it was phenomenal. Smoked another last month, and it was almost over the hill - lacked any spice, mellowed out considerably, just plainly losing flavor.

I asked a friend who kept his at 60/63 to give me one of his. Smoked it today, and it is at its peak now, IMO - nice light spice, suave flavors of creamy cinnamon and wood.

I highly recommend either lowering temp or smoking them soon. Just fyi...

Any left?
