Which box do I want to get? The black is $40 more but I already have six reds (not that I wouldn't want more). I haven't had the black yet..

    Initially, upon their release, I would have said Red all the way...6 months down the road, however, I think the Black is the better cigar.

    My vote is black. The red tubos are sort of funky when they age. Granted, I let 'em rest in the tubes. Either way, you can't go wrong.

    I would go and at least smoke the black first before you dive in with a box. maybe smoke a red, then the next day smoke the black and see which one you like more then make the investment.

    i love the flavor of the black but mine had serious burn issues that only time can take care of. if you get the black, let them rest for a while. the red is phenomenal.

    i like the reds when they are fresh. the blacks are better when they are aged. so it all depends on when you want to smoke them.

    I had a black last week that had around 2-3 months of rest. The burn was frustrating and I had to touch it up constantly. The flavor, however, was amazing. I got something like toasted caramel. It was delightful.

    I have actually still not smoked the Black Tubo, but have a few resting in the humi still. The red is a damn fine cigar. I have had the original Tat Black robusto which was fantastic, but I've heard these are totally different. I personally would pick up the Black, but that's just me...

    I have had one of each from a trade with the squirrel. The Red was awesome. The Black had some nice flavours but burn issues all the way thru. It took away from the enjoyment considerably. They may age well, as some have said but the Reds are great without any considerable age at all.

    Ive had both and think the are both great in different ways. If you got some reds already, go with the black. you won't be disappointed. Ive had some burn issues with both as most have mentioned. Nothing bad just needs to be touched up every so often.

    Anyone experience storage issues with either of these. Yesterday I took a look at mine...opened the first Red and found that the wrapper was totally coming off and it just fell apart from the cigar. found one more just like this ...only looked at four and two are losing the wrapper. The Black tubos I looked at are not like this. This is quite alarming. Makes me really not want to look at the remainder of the box of Red tubos.
