  • 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.

    Yet another blind review that I did. I swore when I was smoking this that it was a Torano 1916 Cameroon. Guess I was wrong :) Pros: Creamy goodness! Cons: Wrapper crackly-ness! Pre-smoke Scent of Wrapper: This is always hard for me to tell, but a bit hay-ish and woody. Scent...

    Java by Drew Estate

    yep. these are one of the only flavored cigars I can stomach. They don't have that super sugary syrupy taste that a lot of other do.

    Toothy??? Define please

    chicken pox on the wrapper is a better description than fuzz. i don't think cigars should ever be fuzzy at all.

    Padlila 1932 Lancero

    i can't find the sampler on their website? can someone hook me up?

    Toothy??? Define please

    means bumpy as far as i can tell. padron's are typically very toothy. opposite of toothy would be silky or smooth, like many Connecticut shade wrappers.
