  • 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.

a quick review of one of my favorite smokes.
the original release taboo exotic blend torpedo:

firm,solid feel. smells of coffee and chocolate


i lit it and it lit me right back,burst of spice right off the bat! coffee with cocoa and leather


ton's of smoke. the coffee/leather joined by a little earth with a bit of sting. very oily,a liquid leather with kick, kinda like having a rawhide bee in your mouth


the hat...


steady gettin' it. full flavors true throughout
a full bodied cigar,dripping with flavor,easy draw...


this one's easy to nub. been one of my favorites for awhile!

Love the review. Your usage of the English language is amazing my favorite line being: "like having a rawhide bee in your mouth." It must be a good cigar if you own a cover with its title on it.
