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.

T110 and diet coke for breakfast. Oy! Great cigar, but I feel liked I'm eating a blackened ribeye for breakfast.

Tried to smoke an Oliva Master Blends 3 Torpedo tonight, and it was unsmokeable.
The burn was terrible - one side didn't seem to want to burn at all, while the other side was just flying down, yet there was very little smoke.
The ash was black, flaky, and would fall after 1/4".
Flavour was just bitter grass and dirt.
It's in the same humidor as my other smokes, and was kept there for 3 months at a consistent 65/65.
I sincerely hope this isn't indicative of the line, and I just had a fluke experience.
That was awful. I smoked 1/3 of it and threw it away because it was giving me a sore stomach.

That sucks, but it sounds like you just got a bad stick. If you have another, give it a try. If not, I'm sure you'll get one at some point. They are worth a 2nd try.

Just started into a Bolivar Royal Corona from Jan '10. Very good already... plenty of roasted nuts including hazelnut and walnut, there is espresso... have a fair bit of it to smoke yet.
While it is coming along, I think just a tad bit more age will help it out quite a bit.
