  • 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.

Has anyone tried New Havana's house blend sticks? I'm going to order some other cigars and was thinking about trying some.

Thanks for the advice!

I've had the ELO5...extremely yummy pc-sized cigar. Great stick for the price, imho. All the ELO sticks are similar flavor profiles to the other cigars on his site.

ELO1s and ELO3s are fantastic. I haven't tried the ELs yet, but do have some waiting in the humi to try. They look and smell great. I've heard nothing but good things about these sticks.

If these are what people say they are, they look to be seconds to me. I love value smokes but even on sale I did not see the value in them for the few I tried.

130-140 on a bundle of house cigars seems really steep to me.. That being said I haven't tried them yet.

I tried all EL/ELO's vitola excluding ELO1.

E.L series are similar to Dion's cigar.
My favorite vitola is E.L #4. It's almost illusione 88.

ELO series are similar to Pete's cigar.
ELO2/3/5 are similar to Tatuaje HAVANA.
ELO4 is similar to La Riqueza No.3.
My favorite vitola is ELO4.

Wouldn't you like to know?
I believe Pete hinted at it in an interview that these were his overruns and not seconds as some might believe. It might take a bit of sampling to figure out exactly what was what but I am sure that some have already figured it out.

I'm planning to get a bundle of the ELO4. I'm still SUPER SUPER SUPER pissed off that I didn't get a bundle of the ELO3...I was planning to, saving up the cash...then all the sudden they were out of stock before I was able to get them!

GRRRRRRR!!!!!! FRAK!

No, I"m not over it yet, lol.
