  • 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.

This is a petite corona that comes in maduro, Conneticut and corojo blends.
Although it is a small cigar, it packs a punch! It is a great 20-35 minute smoke and perfect for those times when you cannot enjoy a larger cigar, hence its name.

The Maduro:

Pre light gave good scent of spice and leather. Night, tight wrap and pack. I cut the crown and tried the draw, which after another cut, was perfect. I toasted it and it came to life with a great draw and full flavor. It shocked me of how great this little tike was.

As I smoked it, hints of chocolate, pepper and leather exuded from it. Great medium brown smoke.

From start to finish this was a good cigar. Great flavor, great draw, great burn. It is inexspenive and flavorable, making it an enjoyable addition to your humidor.

Looking forward to trying the other two wrappers and compare the flavor, although I am told the corojo is fuller flavored.

Nicely done Bill!

I'm a big fan of these cigars in the petite torpedo size. I keep a box of the Corojo & a box of the Maduro on hand at all times & smoke them at work when I can squeeze in a 20-30 minute break.
