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 the next few weekends 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.
Tat Verocu (red) Tubos......
- Thread starter GUSTO
- Start date
So as I walked up my steps, I saw the package I had ordered from NHC sitting on my porch. Awesome way to end a Monday! carry the package upstairs, open it, and stare at the tubed glory in front of me. 4 black tubos and 6 red...I proceed to remove one each and give them a once over...they look amazing. I decided to smoke a red since there are more of them. I take my Palio and snip the end off. I took a dry draw and...paint...it tasted like paint..just like the Drac I had smoked a few months ago...I have since removed the sticks from their respective tubos and plan to let them settle a bit before I smoke another
However! After I lit it and am smoking it a bit, the taste of paint is subsiding and the flavors of the cigar are coming through....but still, I would like to know if anyone else has had this happen to them???

Running joke... a misspelling of "flagged"
Just smoked a Dr** and the pre light draw still had a big time lacquer taste to it. Damn shame too because I could taste the potential in it. Can't imagine how disappointed Pete Johnson must have been when they shipped that way so it would be hard to imagine him letting that happen again.
Gonna be checking my B&M to see if they're in yet.
Edit: I'll let you know if I experience the same thing.

Point taken....
The impression I got was that it was another attempt at starting some more discourse. Given the context with which I was basing my opinion on which was no way for a paint smell to be there.
My apologies to the OP if I am mistaken in the intent, I just did not want this to become another one of those threads.....
The box is rather heavy! the total shipping weight was 4 lbs. Solid box....
I will say that I am on the final 3rd of the cigar and the taste of paint is faint, but present..its a damn shame. But I am hoping that a quick removal from the tubes and a rest in the humi will fix this. Aside from the linger of paint, the cigar was fantastic, but I would've liked it to be a bit stronger.

Thanks for the review man... Can't wait to see the box in person.. They look really cool!
let me just say that I am in no way saying I am outraged or upset or whatever...I will gladly continue to smoke the remaing sticks and I am sure they will be great....I just wanted to see if it had happened to anyone else. Since I have not smoked a black yet, I can't call it either way. This was just my initial experience, didn't mean to offend anyone.
