Tatuaje dud

That sucks brother. The 10th are some great sticks. If you get a chance try the belle Encre reserva. Another great smoke along the same lines as the 10th. I enjoy the reserva even more.

Interestingly, 3/4 of the plugged sticks I've had (only had a bit more than a handful) were Tatuaje.

I still enjoy 'em though. Plugged sticks happen.

this has been my experience also, but of those over half I have been able to fix by cutting down the head until it starts smoking.

I gotta say, I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm just not a big fan of Tats and don't get the hype. I've had construction issues as well as harsh flavors, even on some higher end sticks. Not that I won't keep trying....

I'm kinda surprised that that so many people have had tat issues. I've had 170-200 or so tats and have not had a single bad draw or issues with construction. Luck maybe?

My experience as well. Not trying to refute the experience of others. I usually have $10+ Tats though so that might be one thing. Below $8 I'll switch to other brands...

Just bad luck, more than likely. I think 2 of them were Havana VI Angeles from the same box (i usually buy a few instead of a single, in case of any issues or i want to get a good impression of a stick over a couple tries). Then the other 2 Tats were random other sticks that were also mostly plugged (can't remember the names of them, nothing ultra expensive). The other couple of plugged sticks were a Habano (Quintero) and a Gran Habano Vintage 2002. The GHV2002 went directly into the firepit and I got another stick. There were more in the bundle where that 1 came from

I think this has to do with smoking rott most of the time, I know you like to let your stuff sit for a while first.

I've had then plenty of times, 75% acclimation issues, 25% construction

Now that makes more sense to me. As it is, 95% of anything I smoke seems to smoke well.
