I was lucky enough to be gifted a few of these recently after all the hype on the forum...and oh boy was I impressed!
I am not a Tat fan boy and have not rated any of the previous ones I have tried (reserva, red tube and a few others) anything better than OK.
when I lit this up I wasn't expecting much and after the first few draws I was right, it started off crap. a horrible flavour almost plastic like ...nothing short of foul. I always give a cigar a chance but this was pushing my limits.
However Just as I passed the first inch (its a short robusto) the flavours completely changed into nothing less than amazing. Sweet caramel with a decent amount of spice.
I am hoping that the first inch was a one off with its foulness and hopefully the next few wont suffer from the same start. Even if they do the rest of the cigar was great and I guess I will appreciate it more for having to trudge through the start.
ratings:
appearance/ construction - 10/10 - very dark wrapper, matt in appearance and flawless construction
Burn - 9/10 - a touch up here and there but nothing major
Taste - 9/10 - started shitty and then great
Overall 9/10 - If you can get your hands on these don't hesitate to pull the trigger.
