I just smoked one and I am up in the air on this one. The construction of this cigar is top notch, at times it reminded me of The Frank but overall I thought it was an 89 if that. I would like to hear your thoughts on this smoke.

I had one last night, it was okay but they need age. Very unique flavor and I detected some mint flavors, as others have discussed here as well. This is my first of the Tatuaje Monster Series, but if this is any indication of the other cigars in the series, I'm gad I didn't work too hard to find them.

The Drac was worth every bit of effort, very surprising cigar for the PJ line.

I am burning one as we speak and I think they are very mild. As has been said a little minyt. Mine will be in my humi for quite a while before I smoke another.

The boris is definitely the weakest out of the 3 monster related cigars. The frank is absolutely the best out of all them, truly a great cigar and the drac is amazing as well and in a few months will be really great. I wouldn't judge the monster series on the boris by any means.

I liked the boris and agree with lilo it is the weakest of the three.

The one i smoked was a little young tasting as well....

Time will definetly improve this beast.

smoked one today and I liked it a lot definitely a straight up medium for me

So far I've smoked four of the Boris and two of the Drac. I enjoyed the Boris more because it is something of a departure from Pete's other cigars. The Drac seemed very similar in taste to the Cojunu brown band line of smokes.

I would give the Drac an 88, the Boris an 89. Neither is as good as Pete's 2009 cojonu, IMO.

I just have to add before it dies out, I had another Boris today and it was much much better than the first. If 2 weeks can work wonders, imagine what a year will do...

I have not had too many Tatuaje, but I hope he does not turn into a (NO OFFENSE TO RP) Rocky Patel. RP started out strong and good....now there is just to much to keep up with and some just lack because of that.

Having only smoked one Boris and one Drac (after 2-3 weeks in the humi) I usually wouldn't say much but they really left an impression.

The Drac was a wonderful smoke true to all its hype. As mentioned previously, a bit reminiscent of the Brown Label with less earth and more spice. For some reason, it seemed to burn quickly.

I enjoyed the Boris a bit more, though. Probably because its taste couldn't compare to anything I've had before. It's truly a unique cigar that almost hit all the right notes with me. It was much milder than I had hoped. I wish I had enough to do a quarterly sample with.

I thought I'd be getting one more of each but my friend decided to keep his order for himself. I really can't blame him though.

Robuster,

I had the same impression of the Boris after I smoked the first one -- a unique, superior type of cigar. Had I judged the cigar from only one sample, I would have considered it a 93-94 quality smoke. However the subsequent three I tried, while enjoyable, did not impress me quite as much.

The Boris is certainly one cigar I will continue to smoke while supplies last.

I'm glad I wasn't alone with my first tasting of the Boris, FL Gator. I felt sorta strange praising it when it got some ho-hum reviews above.

Of course a box would have been ideal but 5 of them would have also made me extremely happy so I could do my (somewhat) quarterly tasting. One to taste initially, then one after 3 months in the humi, then 6mo of age, 9mo of age, and then a year.

I bought a 5-pack of DPG My Father #2 and am coming up on my 3rd month. Of course I'd rather have the Boris or Drac in there but I'm pretty happy with the My Father line.
