Tatuaje Monster Smash 2024 Reviews starting with post #32

....yeah, about that box. I went to order another (IMHO they are that good) and I accidently ordered two. Yeah, accidental......🤣

I've polished off box #1....plowed through it. Really great smokes, really enjoying them. Looking forward to what other folks think.....

Yea, I was two in and ordered a 2nd while smoking the 3rd. There were a few I didn't like at first, so I am glad I can try again....But I am holding off my opinions as I want to see what others think.
 
I’m not falling for the Pete Johnson hype.
I get this. The 'hype' from any vendor is often just a little more than some of us like. I look at it this way.....my box(s) were roughly $158.00 each. So, for a 14 count box, you're paying roughly $11.30 a stick. Simple question is.....are they worth that to you..?? I was surprised, but my answer is yes. Really dig the Tat profile; these are well rolled, interestingly blended, really great smoking cigars. Unusual, sure. But, at the end of the day you're smoking a wonderful, tasty, unique cigar at a reasonable price. Yeah, I went a little deep but they're really hitting for me. Your mileage may vary....

Connecticut Broadleaf Wrapper (based on Monster Mash)
5.25 X 52
Dry draw and smell - hay, barnyard, mint, cooking spice

First third - nice retro, plenty of smoke, dark cocoa, barnyard, cedar, earth, I’ve retrohaled more than usual. Ash is perfect at an inch.

Second third - getting a dry light minty tea mouth feel, smoke and draw are still excellent. Stopping with the notes and just going to enjoy

Final third - Halfwheel talked about a maple syrup sweetness. I never got that. Solid stick in every way

I would buy a box, wait I already did with the Frank Redux, LOL.

Score 91

I agree with you, this was a great start to the Smash box! I did find it MUCH better than the Mash Frank and I also liked it alot more compared to the Frank Redux.
I had dark cocoa to start with tons of cedar, smoked amazing and finished with sweet chocolate. 88
 
Mine were originally supposed to arrive today, but tracking shows they just left Chicago this afternoon, so hopefully tomorrow!
