  • 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 time 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.

Heads Up on a cheap Pepin.

I love these so much so that I just ordered 3 more bundles... that is on top of 4 bundles I got 2 days ago. That's $2.35 a stick including shipping, and will last me a long time. I found the original release LHOs age really well and were weaker blend to begin with. So hoping these will age well seeing that they are much stronger OTT.

I got my first order today. I'm smoking my second one today. These are good. Spice, coffee, cedar, leather and all around rich taste. More complex then I expected. For the money, they are a no brainer. 4 bundles in 6 more coming.

I received my 10 from a split with Asher, and I smoked one yesterday at the Vineyard, enjoying a Pinot Noir.

Here are my impressions:

Opened up with a mouth full of pepper, very spicey. This quickly quieted down, into a mild spice, medium flavored, full bodied cigar. This stick had quite a bit of power, could have been because I had a pretty light lunch, but seemed a little unbalanced for the flavor that it provided. So lots of Nicotine with not so much flavor. It definitely had the Pepin taste and it was good, it just didn't seem balanced.

I don't know, IMO, I think these will need to go to sleep for a while. So I will smoke another in a week to get a true baseline and then let the remaining sit for a bit.

I got my two bundles in and broke my cardinal rule by firing one up tonight. Not as strong as most Pepins I have but smooth and full of flavor. This was a killer deal and these are very good cigars. Thanks for the heads up Ocat. Great find.

Don't be surprised if your other bundle is spicier and fuller then the first one you smoked. I have open two and smoked from both. One is spicy and full flavored while the other is a smoother and and full flavor. I am enjoying both.:smokingme

Smoked another, the same burn problems present. Tastes great but got pretty annoying with all the babysitting and touch ups.
