  • 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.

Yes they are damn good. Very un-Partagas like and a unique profile. Not great for the price as you are paying for the coffins and novelty but are fun to smoke with friends.

isn't that why they're all wrapped together?
It was originally done to supply the torcedores with their daily ration of cigars from the factory; they had that shape so that it would be easier to see if they were smoking more than they were allowed by merely grabbing some of the ones they were rolling.

Wouldn't you like to know?

This is still up in the air. I have read this many places as well, but MRN says that is just a myth and is originally from the phillipines and is done because larger cigars age better then smaller cigars. It has only been done my Cuba as a marketing gimick as they use the tied together cabinet to age as one instead.

Still haven't tried a culebra. I always thought I'd be disappointed. Maybe I should give 'em a shot

I've heard other versions as well, but the one I gave is the one I think most true; for I have yet to meet someone that explains to me how is it they age better.
