  • 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.

Cigar: Arturo Fuente Anejo Shark #77 (5 5/8 x 54)

Cost: I am not sure. I snagged it in a pass

Drink: Coca-Cola

Appearance: This has a Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper. There were no veins showing. This is a double banded cigar (Anejo band at the top and a red band around the foot). The appearance gets a 10/10



Pre-Light: It just had a normal tobacco taste to it.

Construction: Held a very long ash. I only had to ash the cigar a few times. The draw was perfect. This is a densely packed cigar. The cigar required a some touchups.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a hot chocolate, woodsy and slightly spicy taste.







Strength: This is a full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was pretty good. I think I prefer the #46 (5 5/8" x 46) a little more. I would buy these again. I give it a 8/10.

I'm not sure when this cigar was made, but for the past couple of years, the releases of Anejos have been disappointing, at best. Don't get me wrong: I love Anejos, and the best cigar I have ever smoked was an Anejo from a couple of years ago with about 2 years of humidor time on it when I smoked it. It's just that recently made Anejos don't seem to me (or to my friends) to be what they used to be. I hope that changes.
