  • 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.

First review brothers!

U ever smoke a cigar and you have a hard time figuring out what you're smoking?
Thus was the case with the Alec Bradley Medalist...

The first thing i noticed was how rich, and oily the wrapper was, I didn't see
any veins or spots on it anywhere..... Ahhhhh what a beauty!

I'm kind of new to smoking so i think im still figuring out my palate....

I punched this cigar, and noticed a lot of spice, and pepper on the predraw....

The cigar is very well constructed, and firm to the touch...

After I lit it, i got flavors of toast, cream, spice and some pepper intially....

By the time you get to the first picture, it basically mellowed out, and i continued to
taste the toast and creamy flavors, maybe a hint of nutmeg...

These flavors stayed pretty consistent until the very end. I put the cigar down to
go get some water....

When i came back outside, it had gone out, so I relit the cigar, and at this
point the pepper came out again for about a minute....

At the very end it mellowed out, and got creamy again.

I bought these from Famous Smokes, and they said that its a full bodied cigar.
At best I would give it a medium.

Kinda like a cain, great flavor, but more bark than bite...

Would I smoke it again... "Definitely"! *lol*:peace:

Hey Shuckins... I liked that pic too! Pretty interesting....

My brother was on his way to become a chef before a serious food allergy
derailed that dream for him. He's a lot younger than I am, but he has the
"palate" of an 80yr old man who's traveled and experienced the world through
and through.... He did a video and audio review of this same stick today and
i'm going to get him to post it. I can assure you all that you'll thoroughly
enjoy it..... :computer:
