  • 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 time 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.

I couldn't pass up this beautiful day so I decided to fire up something extra special. A 2005 Opus X Lancero Tubo.
A pre-draw slammed me with instant spice. Once lit the spice mellowed out a hair, but it was definitely still there. Kind of a dark black fresh cracked pepper with a touch of nutmeg. About midway through the pepper got extremely strong, but the stick stayed smooth & creamy. I got a little taste of leather also. The ash was light & flaky. It only held on for about a half an inch at a time. The last third was mind blowing. I didn't think the spice could pick up any more, but it did. By the time I got down to the nub I was a bit light headed. That could also be because I didn't eat since this morning. I enjoyed this smoke greatly & I'd once again like to say thanks to the sender. A very special smoke in dead. But all smokes are meant to be smoked!

Looks like a great stick, definitely one you don't come by very often, thanks for the review.

That sure looks nice, never smoked or seen those. I still think they have the best cigar bands.
