  • 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.

    LAST DAY : BOTL / Drew Estate Holiday Extravaganza

    Depends on the mood. I will pick whatever I think is appropriate to the situation and who's involved. Tough one there.

    Personally, I like cuabas as a change up cigar. They are not strong or powerful, but I do like the light flavours I get from them. I prefer the Exquisitos and Salamone. It is not hard to find aged stuff as they are not that popular.

    I don't even want to venture a guess, just think of it as over 50. That is one of those "I have too much time, and a lot of love for my cigar collection " kind of questions heh ;D

    Day 7 : Drew Estate / BOTL 8 Day Holiday Extravaganza

    J. Fuego- met & drank with him in Nicaragua on the rooftop of the hotel Las Arcos. Great shit! He was fun to talk to, listened to advice and constructive criticism, and drank with the "boys".

    Day 6 : Drew Estate / BOTL Holiday Extravaganza

    Started with Colts and White Owls at the bars and golfing when I was about 19ish, then one day thought I would get a real cigar to just give'er a whirl. Bought an Upmann Corona Major in the old silver tube, and was blissfully aware of the nuances that good tobacco can give you. Didn't really...

    Day 3 : BOTL / Drew Estate 8 Day Holiday Extravaganza

    Cuba, then Nicaragua. Nicaragua has many more cigars that I buy, but that's a price + quality vs. taste/stick comparison for me. Nica is the king of cigars right now in terms of overall production value on what you buy.

    Vegas Robaina Famosos (05/11)

    I have had a few more of these in the last few months since I last posted. These cigars with only a month or two on them smoke fantastically, and have a lot of that coffee undertone that you are impressed with. It seems the downside on these is around 4-6 months, as I just lit one up from a May...

    Nicaragua Trip

    I did that trip in Jan of 2010. It was fantastic ! We never got to do the coffee plantation thing, that is new, but the trip itself all around can't be beat. Colin is very knowledgeable, and knows the factories. He is helpful, and patient as well, which is nice. The blending at Plasencia is...

    Custom rolls?

    There wasn't a roller working when I was there, but the darker wrapped custom cigars rolled for the La Casa del Habanos in the hotel Conde de Villenueva are amazing ! Highly recommended if anyone is ever there ! I wish I would have read this thread before I went to Havana, but oh well, I have no...
