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 heard on the radio this morning that kids born in the year 2000 are now graduating high school.
Yep. I've got one born in 2000 that just walked. And I feel ya on that sneeze - I just recently put my back out of commission for an afternoon. My crime? Wiping a spill off the dining room table.
Howdy neighbor, and welcome from Alabama! Great to have you here! I'm kind of a noob - both to the site and to the hobby - so I'm still figuring out what I like, but having lots of fun in the process. There's lots of friendly people here, and lots of knowledge to be shared.
Welcome from Alabama! What part of the wine industry were you in? I've been a professional chef and semi-trained Sommelier for awhile, wondering if our paths have ever crossed?

I haven't yet, but it's on my list of things to try. I think once I've smoked my humidor down a bit I'll throw some infused in there and give them a go. Any names you recommend? Nubs are the standouts right now as far as I can see.

Had my first real disappointment here.
The beautiful dark wrapper smelled lightly sweet, with a hint of coffee.
The unlit pull was very weak, but I got a little of that coffee from it.
It lit up fairly well, and the first third was full of everything that the smell...
I'm going to try and review every new cigar I smoke here, and I figure there's no point littering up the forums with a new thread every time I smoke a new stick. So this is my review thread. Feel free to comment here with any of your own tasting notes after I've reviewed one - I value all of...

Enjoyed this with Rum over ice.
Light leathery notes on the unlit pull, slightly sweet wrapper.
First few draws came in really strong with the earthy notes. This gave way to a rich nutty/earthy mix, with what I'd call a 'sweet oats' flavor in the mix.
