Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters--worth the money?

raisindotraisindot Posts: 1,294 ✭✭✭
Without getting into specifics, I have a possible opportunity to get a sampler of past Tatuaje Pudgy monsters at a not particularly great price.

My question for you experts: Are these really, really worth the money beyond their"collectible" aura? Are they that far superior to the regular Tatuaje brands? Can anyone who has one or more describe their characteristics--i.e., full, medium, spicey, non-spicey, earthy, sweet, etc.--since I'm not an experienced Tatuaje smoker?

    Well, I did end up winning these for a little over $80. Sure some of you did, too. The last "big ticket" cigar purchase I'm going to make for a long, long time.

    Any advice on which to smoke first, since supposedly this sampler has one from the last 10 years or so? Would it make sense to smoke the "oldest" ones first since I would assume they're been "aged to perfection"?

    You will have to write up a review and your thoughts as you work your way through the sampler.

    I got one, however I haven't opened them yet. I think I got it for just under $100. I figured I pay around $10 a stick for most Tat's so why not give them a try.

    afaik the little/pudgy monster cigars are not 10 yrs old.
    they're just based off of the older "full size" monster releases....
    ....but i could be wrong.

    Yeah. They were not released in these vitolas, and if they were 10 years old you would not get them for under $100. They are great smokes, but I would try to let them rest as long as you can (easier said than done). I smoked one early and it split on me. Not sure who's fault that was, but I put them away for a couple months and now they are smoking great.

    You're absolutely right. They're "re-released versions." Should've read the description more carefully, LOL! I'm just a sucker for certain kinds of cigar marketing.
