  • 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 didn't really take a lot of notes on this cigar as I was just hanging with the wife drinking some sangria in Ybor.

This cigar is very smooth with a creamy property. Has a good medium bodied richness and a slight sweetness on the palate. There is a very mild spice that hangs out which I would assume comes from the sumatra binder.

I burned my fingers last night on this one...that doesnt happen very often for me. I hope when this stick ships it is exactly the same. Not an in depth review but I definitely give it a thumbs up.

Great construction, great draw, neat double band type gimmick.

Had a couple of these and found them to be decent smokes, thanks for the review.

Here's a pic of the boxes, pretty simple looking but I guess that was the look they were going for being "black market" and all

Also waiting for the "Fine and rare" to be released. I have one that Alan gave me to try out. 10 ct boxes only to preferred partner accounts. The one thing I liked was its only a $14/stick vs everyone elses $20/stick.

I'll be reviewing that one shortly. I really need to go through my pictures from the show...lol

AB has been putting out a pretty consistent product. From the MAXX to the Family Reserve, they have grown and have never failed to produce a quality product.

Looking forward to sparking a couple of these.
