Continuing the Pudgy series this week with the Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters Drac from the Pudgy set Pete released. This set was a gift from Todd AND Rick.
Cigar
This Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters Drac is a belicoso that reminds you of a stake or maybe a vampire tooth.
Starting off this Tatuaje Pudgy Monsters Drac with a huge blast of spice that even obliterated the base flavor. There was a hint of earthiness but it was very slight. Had to do a wrapper touchup because the one side was just not burning. After the touchup there was more earthiness that came through but not much. Really a horrible burn on this so far. Solid medium. A tangy taste has reared its head that makes me think if citrus like a lime, not an orange. A bit of a dull bready taste has joined the mix but the burn is still not going well. I have done three touchups and one relight and still have a third to go. Ash is very dark and flakey. Flavors have softened a bit in the final third without being overpowered with spice. And the spice came back within an inch. Got a little dark chocolate throughout but nothing mentionable till this last inch. Really came through on the last few puffs.
I am a little concerned that I may have just gotten a dud so I would appreciate if you smoked this if you would let me know if yours was the same or better.
Wrap-Up
Would I buy it again? No. I am not a fan of the flavor profile at all and if they all burn and smoke like this one I would be very disappointed in another purchase.
I said in the video that I was 1 and 1 on the box so far but in reality it is zero for two. Frank was not bad just too strong for me.

Mike – if you didn’t favor the Frank and Drac, you will not like the rest of the batch. Send them all to me for proper disposal!!
LOL I am looking forward to the next one, The Face – loved it in the full size!
So I am basically sitting through 6 months of you and Tauajes? Your “man crush” for Pete Johnson is showing. See you Sunday at the lounge for the Jekylls.
Deal with it :p Todd and RIck got me this box to review and tis the season lol I do like a lot of Tatuaje too.
The burn issues sound like a real pain, but those flavors sound interesting. Not sure about good per se, but interesting.
