• 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.

    Let's just say they're equivalent . . . well, maybe not (though the Gran Reserva does last longer). :smokingbo

    Flying pigs

    Yeah. The T52's got a very distinctive flavor and aroma to it, but as far as the Liga No. 9 is concerned, I prefer the Flying Pig to the Robusto (the only two sizes I've had from it).

    what type of Coffin for Leatherface

    What I was getting at was to have one stick with a more aggressive character (hence the ligero) and the other with a milder, though still slightly strong, disposition (like a corojo). Come to think of it, maybe something totally mild like a Connecticut shade-grown would emphasize the...

    What's the best part of a cigar for you?

    Flavor and aroma. The look, too, from the band to the shape––a nice lancero or panatela, for whatever reason, are attractive to me at the moment.

    Question regarding taste/aging (San Cristobal/NC)

    No, not just you. It may simply be a matter of semantics, of course, but a cigar with less than a year on it, for me, has been "resting," not "aging." That said, a matter of merely a few months can do wonders to a cigar that tastes bitter or has a disharmonious profile ROTT.

    Casa Fuente forum shop question

    Like everyone else said, the Casas, Forbidden Xs, and the Arturo Fuente 13 are the only cigars exclusive to the place. One thing to keep in mind is that, for some sticks, there's a per person purchase limit per day––some two, others five. Also, tell your friend to ask if they've...
