BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Alma del Fuego is the best Plasencia and should be smoked in "Flamma" vitola as often as possible. Get at me!

DE Natural "Root" - I bought these for my wife a couple years ago, cuz she digs the sweet tips. Turned out these were the only Natural without the sweet tip, and she didn't like 'em.
Very tasty blend.

Revisiting this one https://www.botl.org/threads/today’s-smoke-2024.98316/post-2311723
Definitely got a dud on the first go.
Connecticut shade is not something I've had many of, I've been in the overfull camp a long time.
First light flavors is very light but no drying/astringency. Draw is spot on. Smoke production decent, only on draw, almost none from the foot. Ash is firm, took a good tap to drop after the photo.
First inch or so stayed light, like a piece of plain toast. Nothing special, nothing bad.
After that it got a bit more noteworthy. Little sinus bite on retrohale, and now it's more like toast with butter and honey. Sweet toasty nuttiness like a graham cracker. A creamy texture with lingering sweetness.
Past halfway and to the end, it continued to turn up the strength offering more of a bite while maintaining the sweet base notes. Zero touchups required, any irregularities in the burn line self corrected. Perfect construction.
I had gone back yesterday and edited my scathing review of this cigar when I recognized it as construction issues. It is actually a pretty good cigar. I have limited exposure to the lighter smokes so I can't offer a comparison. But I will be smoking more of these.
