  • 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 got this from friends of a great BOTL!



sturdy feeling cigar,got some heft to it. smells nice.



leather and pepper on light up



it's got some zing to it right from the start. couple of splits to deal with.
no worries...




tasting pepper with a little roasted nut. and something dry. good looking ash.



dig that cat!



great flavors,lots of smoke,definitely a full bodied cigar.straightening out and smoking right



still has the pepper zing working along with a little leather and the roasted nut.



i'm digging the pepper zing. it's like licking the top of one of those little square batteries. ever do that?




picking up a little creaminess from somewhere



a popeye style nub...strong to the finish!
the pepper zing really picked up towards the end




overall, i understand why folks prefer the boris to the drac.
having had only one of each,i'm gonna wait and see...

Nice review man. It sounds like a fantastic smoke. I also like Godzilla with his main squeeze Cluckahontas.

Great review! Interesting ... I've only had one Boris, but didn't get a ton of pepper. Mine seemed more medium-bodied and had a lot of nice sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. I REALLY loved it. It will be really cool to see these age.

And great review Ron... that sucks about the splitting though, did it crack after you cut/lit it or was it like that when you got it?
