  • 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.

That's what i smoked today and sort of did my first review on the cigar, hehehe.
Total time: 1:10:00

So far, in the first third, the draw is good. It has a hint of coffee, not sure if I get a hint of cacao, and I do taste wood, leather and earth.



Hmmm, near the end of the first third I got hints of pepper.
The construction was great; the color of the ash was dissent. It needed some touch ups, not much, three times did it.



The second third started peppery, with leather; I think… ?
The pepper then started wearing out half way through then tasted more of earth and gradually tasted more of wood.



Finishing the second third, starting last third. It was more into pepper (again) and wood, with a hint of leather.
And lastly, now was going to a more wood flavor, and the pepper remained.

P.S. I didn't have help at all on this, i tried my best. Hope most of it is good.
:grin: Peace out!

Great review Meg, don't be surprised if you see that last pic in avatars on cigar forums worldwide.
