  • 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.

i had my first tat today it was a Tatuaje Havana IV at first it didn't really live up to the reputation that brothers have given it had a horrible burn for about the first inch and the taste just wasn't there but after the first inch it smoothed out and burned great i got a lot of really nice leather from it after that experience i will jump at the chance to try another type of tat when i find one but my local cigar shop only carries Havana IV

I will say, I'm glad to havea member who doesn't worship Pete. Spices things up. Yet, regarding the burn, if ye watch his interviews, ye'll note how he feels flavour is much more important than an even burn "ye have a lighter to correct it" (not that Tats have a horrid burn at all).

I had my first Tat tonight! After hearing so much about them on the boards, decided to try one... I LOVE TATS! Can't believe I never tried it before :blush:

A number of Tats I've smoked (which is FAR less than many of the BOTLs here) have started out sub-par in terms of both burn and flavor. But in every case but one the cigar more than made up for it as it went along...and in the case of the Havana VI line, that final third is just awesome (especially in the Victorias!!).
