The Franks I've smoked (10 or so spread out over the 2 years) were much better younger than older. The black is still great and has lost a little. The fresh Frank and the Tat black CG and robusto are my favorite Tats I've had, and I've had almost all of them.Didn't think too much was special about the SW Maduro. Anyways, enjoy those rare cigars! Definitely the Frank for Halloween, but not if you are drunk or busy with kids - that cigar deserves 2 hours of quiet time...
