Well, I got my hands on some of the Westies, and a few Easties... smoked west and east(following day)... I actually did not like them at all... and the Gabby at Havana Humidor was in disbelief (he knows how much I like Tats)
Something about these sticks just turned me off :angerhead
It's the first time I was upset for smoking a Tat... WTF???

Well, different tastes for everyone, I suppose. It's possible the rH was weird, or maybe your palate was off (did you eat something strange?).

If you want to get rid of any, I'll volunteer ... they're my favorite!

i've enjoyed them, but if you try to compare them to other tats, it's bad.

they are more subtle flavor profiles than the rest of the line

imho

they are definitely more subtle than most other tats. like njstone said if you need to get rid of a few we are here to help.
I only have one East left (shared the rest)

I will be having an auction to rid myself of some Opus, Anejo, and maybe some Tats, and It will be in there.
Keep an eye out for that.

I'd go back to them down the road at some point. Not every Tat is for every Tat whore. It's just about personality & likes & dislikes.

I've had the East Coast and loved it, haven't tried the West but I've heard from several people that have tried both that they preferred the East.

I've heard (read) people get grief over not liking a certain cigar that others are crazy about but everyone's palate is different and we'll all enjoy different smokes. One of my good buddies here that I smoke with frequently is a big fan of the My Father, and I know a lot of other are as well, but it's not for me. However we agree on many other cigars and always enjoy recommending smokes to each other and finding out for ourselves.
