Tatuaje Monster 'The Frank' Review
Just a little history on 'The Frank' before I get started on the review....

This cigar is the first in the Tatuaje Monster Series released on October 31, 2008 in 13 locations. First size will be 'The Frank' - a Double Corona box press. 666 boxes were created. Thirteen of the top 100 retailers were selected via a lottery to receive an allotment of 50 boxes each.

Country: Nicaragua
Size: 7 5/8" X 49
Burn: Perfect
Construction: Excellent
Draw: Great

I usually do not smell the foot of the cigar I am fixing to lay to rest, but for whatever reason, I decided to do it on this one. You know that fresh, burst of cedar when you open up your humidor? That's the smell....

The stick is PACKED with TONS of cracked black pepper and spice; making the roof of my mouth and tongue tingle! What a great stick! I figured it would be pretty good, but I never thought it would be superb! WOW!

This is definitely a full-boded cigar from start to finish.


I gotta get my hands on a few more of these....

That looks like an awesome stick. Thanks for dangling the "never gonna get me carrot" out there. I wish I was able to get my hands on one.

re: Tatuaje Monster 'The Frank' Review
Have had my eye out for these but they are almost as hard to get as an Opus,,,,at some point the B&M's need to put a few out there for the rest of us,,,sure looks like "eye candy" to me.
