Interesting review of the Tat Drac Line at Halfwheel today. Since I smoked a Skinny Drac on Saturday the smoke is fresh on my mind. They left out the absolute biggest issue with the cigar - smoked it while watching LSU and it was obviously an unlucky cigar as was the first one of the football season, Frank.
Anyway, based on my smoke Saturday they are mostly full of shit. The burn was very good (two minor touchups) and the draw was about perfect. As to flavor I certainly would not call it dull while it may not fit everyone's favorite profile. For me it had numerous changes along the way and strangely at one point it had a sudden burst of some kind of herb type flavor that lasted about 3 puffs. A little earthy but nothing as described by halfwheel and no manure either.
The construction was great and it is a very nice looking cigar with a dark oily wrapper.
I question what is Halfwheel's issue with this line of cigars as from the two I have smoked their reviews are less than accurate. How the F can one Lonsdale size cigar have 7 or 8 unique flavors most of them "bad", as they have described.
Just MFHO
Like most things, personal opinion. Didn't stop me from getting a box, although didn't get multiple boxes like I have in the past.
Beyond that, I don't know. They have generally been favorable to Tat's (and specifically the Monster series) in the past and overall have expressed a favorable opinion of lonsdales
