  • 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.

    Newbie Habanos must try

    no, consistency is not a factor of age. monte is high profile, and habanos SA cranks them out to meet demand. consistency means, in this case, how successful they are at tasting and burning like montes across differing years (or seasons) of production. you get a plugged box, time will NOT...

    horray for new shit! and also rule breaking. o) padilla cava, locked in my office playing catch up. EDIT: kinda like a fausto spice overlaying an oliva O framework, IMO. construction was solid. nothing to get super geeked over, but a solid offering, especially at $5 a pop.

    Monte #2 help

    if you haven't perused it, cubancigarwebsite.com is an invaluable tool. plenty of precise and accurate measurements, good pics of bands, boxes, and cigars, all the way from current LE/RE stuff to old and unfortunately discontinued vitolas and marcas.

    What do you think of these holes

    What's in your bowl today

    it's probably the new and shiny effect: once the romance wears off, you will probably find a balance between the two. OR you could be a piper at heart, IDK. also, first pass on the key largo today, in my fatty mr. brog pear wood. verdict when i get a couple more down...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    not sure yet, and I want to burn one of each. here's my quick take: - absolutely more beautiful in person, both sticks and boxes, and the aroma unlit was intoxicating. - a little dry on the palate, but much less so that a lot of mexSA capas. plenty of flavor and texture, and development...

    What's in your bowl today

    yeah... might be in love. o) actually (and just based on ONE bowl, mind), i think i like this better than penzance. full body, creamy dense smoke and a little iodine-y peat from the latakia, but sweet hints underneath, actually wanted to burn on a fold and stuff out of the tin, and a cool...
