I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
I am a huge fan of the regular Buffalo Trace (and of course the Antique Collection). Haven't had Blanton yet. Also, the regular WL Weller (cheap stuff with the green cap) is pretty damn good, at least on a college student's budget!
Just finished one. It was OK. The boxes were sitting in the postal truck in 10* weather all day, so I think maybe they need to sit in the humi for a few days before I can make a final decision. The one I just had was waaaaay light on flavor. Not what I expected, so I'll torch another after I...
The cool thing about everywhere but the United States is that cigars commonly come in cardboard 3- or 5-packs! You can do singles, too, but the packs usually save you a little bit of dough.
Smoked a Patel Bros. yesterday. It was good, they start off really spicy but mellow out. I think they are meant to compete with all the spicier Nicaraguan stuff coming out. I have heard that the 1961s are better, but we haven't gotten them in yet.
Just yesterday I was wondering when the 2009 Stagg might come out!
I still have plenty of bottles from last year, tho, so I think I'll wait a little bit before buying!
