• 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.

    Intemperance BA XXI

    I am smoking an Envy (the double perfecto one) right now for a review, and I have to say, I am impressed right off the bat...Really great, strong flavors, but not too much strength so far... We will see how the rest smoke, but this one is quite good... ~brooks

    Just picked up maybe one of the most HTF's I have ever seen...

    Good sticks :) They are stronger then the Cab Cameroon Lancero, to my taste, but share some of the same profile...

    Ummm, Oscuro or NOT???

    I reached out to Litto to see what he thought (since I was curious myself), and here is what he had to say: "Brooks, thanks for the email, it could have happened that a group of cigars were accepted in quality control, with a little lighter color. There should not be anything different about...

    New Chaveta.

    Yes, I smoked a prerelease a while ago, and it is a good cigar, I might even like it more than the reg release... Only 50 boxes of 20 (when they come in)...can't wait to smoke one again :)

    Graycliff Cigars

    Honestly, to my tastes, the Espresso Elegante (lancero) is a better stick, as opposed to the Double Espresso Elegante... There is a store that sells them, but they are not cheap...(PM if you want info) BTW, to OP, I would see if they will roll you something that has not been released, i.e. a...

    The loss of a wonderful friend

    I just got word that Don (aka OpenEndStraight) lost his battle with cancer... He was one of the best, always a kind word, a great guy to smoke with who would always meet you at Casa Fuente if you were in town, and would do anything for a friend... I remember quite a few great nights smoking...

    Tatuaje Wolfman

    It could be that people just don't like the Sumatra wrapper...it does have quite a heavy flavor... To those that were not impressed with the Wolfman, have you smoked any of the other Capa Especials (7th, NHC, etc), and if so, what did you think of them?
