Tat/L'At/Gat Monthlong Smoking

[jrfoxx]

Tatuaje Private Reserve (Black Label) Gran Toro

Just as good as the Cazadores, but nice, longer smoke time. The Cazadore does seem to be a little stronger and a little more flavorful though

Agreed!
Not sure if I found any new favorites; the La Mission and Avion stand out to me so far. Frank is up there, too.
I am confirming that the Surrogates don’t really suit me as a whole.
Although it’s hard to come by a bad cigar in the entire Tat line.

I've had a blast doing it for sure (and not finished yet). The K222 still shines as one of my favorites - not just the blend but the size makes it a consistent and reliable smoke that tastes great. The MBS Karloff makes me want to try the full monster.

The Whore was surprisingly Anti-Tat in that it was sweet and absent of the pepper strength component you'd expect from a Tatuaje.

I'm with @Nature that I'm not sure the Surrogates line fills the spot it was designed to - I think in most cases I'd go the extra $1 or $2 for a Tat. Conversely, working the LATs in was nice as I almost never go to them.

I'm also with @chain_gang that you can go palate blind by having the same or similar thing over and over - I've mixed in a few other brands in and taken a day off here and there.

PS - Did anyone really bet against Tony in this thing?

More details to follow at the conclusion of the month ....

Pivot Tables @WNYTONY

Will these magic pivot tables tell the the most popular ring gauge of each of the brands smoked ?
What about the average time of day that Limited Editions are smoked ?

So all it did was count the cigars ????

Got to agree with the Surrogates comments. They have never impressed me, other than the Cracker Crumbs.
It's been nice working thru the line.

And I'm not out to win anything - just smoking them thru the month. I'm only a little ahead because that's all I've smoked all month. I have to say though that I'll be ready for something else when the month ends.
