The Big Face Off


The Big Face Off

R
ecently a few brothers of the leaf got together for a little Face Off. We all purchased Tatuaje’s new 2010 Halloween release “ The Face “ from one of our favorite local B&M’s. You don’t often see 8 guys all smoking the same cigar at the same time so it was interesting. Last years Halloween Release “ The Boris “ was one of the best cigars of the year and came in at my # 3 with very high honors. While I did enjoy “ The Face “ it did not send me scrambling to find more as the Boris did. It’s a bit large, rough and ruddy like its namesake I suppose. It smoked just fine with no issues and was enjoyable without being memorable. It did not have the flavor and complexity to make it a winner or justify its price but it was worth enjoying with good friends. I’ll be waiting for another cigar like the “ Boris “ to come along.
