  • 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.

I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon - Robusto

    yep, once i first tasted the harshness. I immediately did about a 15 second purge, and wiped off the tar. It helped me slightly, but it was a downward battle from there.

    La Aurora 1495

    nice review. so funny, i'm smoking my first one right now! i'll post a review later. I'll say I can agree on some points, but didn't pick up as much detail as you. I can just blame it on my newb palate. I'm fairly disappointed though.

    Thanks for the review. I picked up a 5 pack of these of CBID for about $7. Haven't tried any yet, and my expectations are pretty low for how much I got them for.
