How is the Drac smoking?

[SkinsFanLarry]

That's an understatement! I'd take a red tubo over just about any stick right now. Definitely a winner!

Mike, that's exactly the way I feel about the Black Tubo! :cbig:

There seems to be somewhat difference of opinion. I wonder if some may have been stored a little differently....Hmmm.

I haven't had one in a few months. Maybe I'll break one out soon...I know how mine were stored since last Oct.

I smoked my only and only Drac about 2 weeks ago, and while the flavors were definitely good, the damn thing just fell apart. Burn was horrible, could barely keep it lit, and about halfway through the wrapper just came to pieces...I finally gave up with about 2.5 inches left on it...

all this talk makes me happy that i still have a coffin of these boys in my coolidor...although i didn't find the drac to be as awful of a smoke as some led on to believe last oct...i think it was because it wasn't hard to obtain and it's pedestal wasn't as high as many others.

It's too bad the drac is getting a lot of so-so reviews...i for one didnt buy into the hype and love these sticks. I'll prob get a lot of crap but i liked this one more than the other two monsters; my only downside is that i only have a few left.

but hey, taste is subjective

Haven't tried the Black tubo yet. I'll pick one up next week and give it a shot.

 

[Alwayslit]

The black tubo are coming around very nicely.

 

[VillageIdiot]

I'm smoking one now. I like it a lot. It's just going to keep on getting better.

 

[t_ron99]

Smoked one of my Dracs that's been in my Humi since Oct. It still had burn issues.

The flavors seem to be blending much better than the last time I smoked one. I guess I'll try again in a few months...

 

[dpricenator]

Mine are going to sit until Halloween...

I smoked my first Drac about two weeks ago and I enjoyed it. It could be because they are sitting with a lot of Boris, franks, blacks and red tubos. Maybe the flavors are mixing?

 

[GUSTO]

All I know is that a pre-release Drac I was lucky enough to get was outstanding!
I'll wait till the majority of people start raving about these before I smoke another -no problem being patient here...:ccowboy:

I think flavor-mixing is basically a myth unless you're talking about very long-term storage (or infused sticks).

I was herfing with a brother last week who said that he LOVED the Drac he had just smoked, so I keep hearing they're getting quite good. I'm planning to sit down with one pretty soon if I can!

 

[benday]

flavors can rub but i would agree it takes years if not longer

 

[Alwayslit]

If you’re taking about a sick period...yea, the flavors get better on the other side and continue to do so. I think the dracs have and are still going through some of that "sick" time. As I've said before it has the components. I'm waiting for my next one around the 4th

same here

 

[sirpantsornot]

I smoked one a few weeks ago that was pretty good. Not great but much better than the one I smoked back in Oct. That one was awful.
I definitely think these will continue to improve with time.

 

[WhiteLightning]

The one I smoked two weeks ago was excellent.

 

[Nuckz23]

Sounds like mixed reviews. Overall I think these are starting to turn for the better. With more time they can only get better IMHO. For you brothers out there that no longer want them or have given up on them, I would be happy to take them off of your hands. :smokingme

Smoked one when they were first released then during the holidays. Both times I really enjoyed them. I have a few more that I will let sit for a while.
