Nice review! I didn't have a problem with the bitterness at the end like you had when I smoked one. Maybe it's because of the different size or the cut? Thats where my question would be. I actually liked it so much, it made it into my favorites. I loved being able to follow along with you during your movie. Great connection! LOL. Thanks again. Next time i'll bring some pop-corn.
Yeah, I got on a little bit of a tangent there, but it made sense to me at the time... yeah, that was the first time I had a problem with the bitterness... I'll be revisiting in a week or so... we'll see how it goes... thanks for the feedback!
I didn't mean it in a bad way. I'm a visual kind of guy so it made perfect sense to me!
Robby, I have to say, I really enjoy your reviews. The Diesel Unlimited I tried was a bit too much for me. But that was a while ago and I've only tried one, so I think it's about time I revisit. Fortunately, I just got some in a couple weeks ago so now's the time to do it!
Thanks Bro! Side note: I went to Sac State and spend a LOT of time in Davis... My best friend went there along with the girl I dated my sophomore and junior years... fun little town...

There's guys from Sacramento here?!?! I'm from Sacramento. Well before I joined the military at least. Lived there for 16 years. When I go home to visit, im going to have to meet up with everyone. That's awesome news!

Most definitely! And I'm not just saying that, we're gonna have to make it happen. Especially since it's starting to cool. Robby you'll have a PM inbound. And Brandon, I had no idea you're from Sacramento. You need to let me know when you're in town.

I will for sure. We're thinking about coming out next year. My wife and I are both from good ol Sacramento.
I enjoyed the review quite a bit and agree with you on most of it. The construction, appearance, and value are all top notch but I just can't get in to the flavor of this stick. It's nowhere near as good as the Unholy Cocktail which is a bummer. It has some sort of flavor that is just no good for me. I like the big body of the UHC and this is nothing in comparison. It's one of AJ's "not quite there" for me sticks, much like the Virtue.
Oh baby! One of my favorites as you know Rob. Very nice review. Maybe a little too nice. I'm at work and really wanting one of these now. Thanks a lot buddy.

Sorry Bro! One of the beautiful things about working form home is you can fire one up whenever you want, provided you're getting your **** done... I'm not bragging, i'm just sayin ;^)
Nice Robby, as usual. I love the Epernay. However, the last one I smoke started off with a punch, and remained strong throughout. I thought that was weird because the others I smoked prior were pretty mellow. Eh, might have just been a fluke or an off day. Nonetheless, awesome smoke!
Great review Rob! Funny coincidence... I had one of those exact sticks in my hand yesterday about to walk out of the humi and purchase him, when the guy working there (a friend since I'm in so often) pointed me towards the 85th Anny Maduro Padron's they just received.... had to put everything back and just pick up the Padron, but thanks for the review it sounds very interesting and like a great smoke! Nice pictures btw, and Charlie rocks!!!!

I had this along with Skull and Bones in my hand yesterday while deciding what to review... great minds...
Th 85th! that is a pricey cigar... nice work... thanks for the feed back too... and yes, Charlie is the pimpshit
I too had the Tat black label about 2 weeks ago and I agree 100% with your review. The first inch or so was just ok, but it really took off and I really enjoyed it till the end. Been looking to pick up a few more of these. Great review!
Nice review Robb. I've had this cigar and enjoyed it immensely. This cigar may never win a beauty contest, I liked the rustic veiny appearance. I've read stories about this wrapper being used as binder for other cigars. But taste wins out here, ugly stick, but great taste. This was my introduction to the Tatuaje line a few years ago.. I was given this cigar by a forum member a few years ago, Thanks Madurofan
Great review. I was gifted one in the torpedo size, but I have no clue how much time it's got on it... so I'm scared to smoke it. My expectations are also sky high. I had a lancero a while back though, and it was pretty much exactly what you just said! Mine lasted longer than 45 min though... prob 1hr 15 or so...
it's interesting to me that many folks feel the same about the flavor timeline... that's pretty consistent feedback from a bunch of guys... so I guess age wasn't really an issue on mine...

Don't forget about us little people when you go mainstream. Congrats and keep the reviews coming bro.
Yeah, I'm gonna take my 2 followers and 4 "likes" and go straight to the top!
lol, nice reviews though.
I myself wasn't a huge fan of the tat blacks, even though I did like them. Seemed to be really nice at the start but somewhere near the half way mark or so they stopped being as flavorful, at least to me. I've gone through 8 or so. The rest I traded away.
I've got a busy week coming up but I think I can fit in one two smokes...
help me pick!
