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.
:shock: :shock: :shock: now this is unusual..... a non cohiba has crawled up the ladder and entered into Lucas top 5!!! SLR DC... beating worthy contendants of such good sticks as siglo IV.. not to mention Cohiba CE...Lucas Buck said:
Are you really sure about this Lucas, or did you just put another marquee in there to not show yourself to be a totally fallen cohiba whore? :lol: :lol: :lol:

montecristo c el
cohiba robusto

now there are others that sneak in there if they come from the right year/box code (i.e. bolivar petite corona junior '01, punch punch june '03, bolivar belicoso fino '00 and '01)

Mine are currently:
ERdM Choix Supreme (especially 98's or older)
HdM Petite Robusto
HdM Epicure #2
LGC Medialle d' Or
QdO Corona
I would have included the Davidoff 1000, but chances of me acquiring more of these is remote.

In my short cigar lifetime, my top 5 so far...
1. Cohiba EL DC
2. CoRo (pre 2001)
3. Mag 46
4. Monte Robusto EL
5. Cohiba SR's (Robusto & Esplindidos are the top two from the box IMO)
I haven't smoked much aged stuff (ie. pre 2000), so I can't say that this won't change from week to week as I try cigars that are new to me.

It means the box the cigars come in has been varnished. For example, the Partagas 898 comes in 2 versions, one in a varnished box and one in a natural box.Mississippi Rifleman said:
Same name, different presentation, and different vitolas.
The RA 898 also comes in varnished and unvarnished, but the unvarnished has long been discontinued.
