  • 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.

    Blowing Smoke: Kristoff Sumatra (Robusto)

    I've been letting this stick sit in the humidor for several months now. I tend to enjoy Sumatra wrappers, and this one is leathery and very oily. The foot is a little shaggy, and there is a long, tight pigtail (as seen below). I clipped off the artfully done pigtail, and toasted the foot with...

    Blowing Smoke: Curivari Seleccion Privada (robusto)

    Today, I'm smoking a newer boutique brand. It looked like there were 6 lines to choose from at the B&M, with something like 3 vitolas per label. Barnyard smell pre-light. After toasting it, it lit right up, with a little snag in one spot that looks like a shark's tooth. It didn't take long...

    Blowing Smoke: My LP T52 Toro Review

    I was excited to review the T52. As posted earlier, I was given the T52 Flying Pig by the owner of Cigars & More in Libertyville, and as of this date it is still aging in one of my humidors. I guess I'm just waiting for the perfect time to smoke it. In the meantime, I had the good fortune to...

    La Flor Domincana Air Bender Chisel

    At first glance, this stick has quite an unusual shape. It has a flattened figurado appearance, and smoking it sort of felt like smoking a big Tiparillo - but that's about the only thing it had in common. The cigar smelled pretty good. It wasn't real strong, but I could tell that it had...

    J. Fuego Sangre de Toro (robusto) 4-7/8 x 49

    New this year, I believe, Sangre de Toro translates to "bull's blood." A nice chocolate-colored wrapper here, the band moving around a little loosely, and not entirely stuck at the end, leaving somewhat of a flap. As a collector of my bands, I think they could have done a little better on this...

    Forgotten Cigars....

    Just dug out one of several RP 1961 sample handed to me before they were released. At the time, they were a little harsh, but time seems to have been good for them.

    Oliva Master Blends 1

    I certainly got that impression. The one rep, Paul, told me to just do what he does, and look in every shop I visit. Maybe he does that, or maybe he's got his own stash, because he seems to enjoy MB1s regularly.
