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.

Where do Flavors Come From?
This is a good blog entry I found a while ago and explains some of the chemistry behind taste and aroma. http://cigarfan.net/category/cigar-science/ A lot of what people taste and smell are a result of how the mind interprets the smoke, whose flavors and aromas are drawn out of the leaves... -

Cigar Aficionado good mag?
Agreed. Much like wine––you're not drinking herbs, you're not drinking soil, you're not drinking berries, etc., you're drinking crushed and fermented grapes. But, depending on the terroir, the method of fermentation, the blend, etc. both grapes and tobacco can yield all kinds of...- Simoun

A Flor de Filipinas chocolate-infused cigarillo that a cousin bought for me while I was in the Philippines last year as well as some other non-infused local brand––assuming, of course, that they'd ever make CI's inventory. Both tasted like burnt newspapers.... -

Padron continues...

How Much Of Your Purchase Is Influenced By BOTL

Your Favorite Cigar Company
Voted Padrón, Illusione, and LFD. Come to think of it, I should've chosen "Other" for a tie between the latter and Fuente, but voted LFD only because I've smoked more of them recently. The first two, though, are favorites on a consistent basis.... -
