• 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.

    Mild to Medium - Do you feel like you are still using training wheels?

    I enjoy a full strength cigars as much as the next guy, but lately (i.e. the last 3-4 months or so) I have really been enjoying medium strength cigars with full flavor...Think Espana, Tat black PL, Sangre de Toro, EPC etc... While I went through a phase where I wanted nothing but power, now I...

    Undercrown wood

    Here is the pic: Honestly, IMHO, Shit happens with a hand made product, and while it annoying to find one of those when you are trying to smoke, that vast majority of the time, they have no effect whatsoever on the actual taste of the cigar.... It is VERY rare that I find something...

    Smoking a God of Fire Serie B Gran Toro for a review...Starts off great so far, with a tad of spice on the lips, along with flavors of coca, leather, wood and an underlying fruity, raisiny sweetness...

    Padron 64, what to expect?

    While everyone has different tastes and likes (and dislikes), and no one is right or wrong, I personally believe that the Padron 1964 Exclusivo Maduro and the 45th Maduro are 2 of the consistently best cigars ever produced... ~brooks

    Favorite My Father blend and size?

    I agree totally...while I don't like the normal LB blend, the CG is a cut above (and one of my faves of the year)... I am also a big fan of the Blue Label lancero...

    LP Feral Flying Pig Prerelease...BIG stick. full of flavor, perfect construction, but not as strong as I was expecting (yet)...lots and lots of smoke...

    Viaje Exclusivo Lancero

    They are not as wet as some (most) of Andre's other releases (at launch) but they will only improve with a bit of down time (or even Dryboxing)...Having said that, the 3 I smoked for my review were perfectly smokeable... ~brooks

    "I can't believe it's not Cuban"

    Sure, there are some sticks I would put in that category, but not many... 1. Quesada Espana 2. WCD 120 3. EL Triunfador (new blend, esp the lancero) I am forgetting one, will update when I think of it... ~brooks
