  • 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've had them several times. Really good smoke. That being said, I haven't found a Fuente Sun Grown I didn't like.

Sorry no pictures, had picked one up from a very odd cigar shop in long beach. Anyways, smoke it on the drive back up, good smoke, some thick veins , but a hard strong draw will recorrect the vein pattern burn. would like a few more of these puppies.

love the beli style shape to this, good solid smoke.

King B, I"m guessing? I have one of those, and then a couple of the 40-inchers or what not that will probably take 3 hours to smoke, lol. For some reason I'm just much more into Robustos these days, or small torpedoes like the OWR torp. I feel like smoking for less time helps my palate recover enough to smoke again the next day...or maybe I'm crazy.

whoa, this entire week, I have changed my outlook on sizes , I' been wanting to smoke more and more robustos or short robusto's. I love cigars, dont get me wrong, but sometimes, I want to smoke different things and robustos are good size that produce good profiles to enjoy and not being stuck into the stick, but the beli took about an 90 min's. Drove and smoke the entire time, so time went by great with this stick, by the time I had to exit, threw it in the stinky.

I'm with you exactly. Even though I seldom smoke more than 1 in a day, I know that if I smoke a pc or a robusto that I do have that option, which I like. I think that these days I'm just into variety, and I find myself getting bored sometimes during a long smoke, even if it's a good cigar. And since I don't want to "waste" a nice long smoke, I've been sticking to little ones.

Also, the weather is quite frankly forcing me to smoke for short amounts of time anyway. Today it was snowing, and it was all I could muster to finish a 5 Vegas Shorty Torpedo (a great little stick cheap, by the way).

I am known to smoke 8 cigars plus a day, but as myself things are getting way to busy now, and I'm finding myself only able to smoke a early morning cigars, which must be 40 mins or less and this nightly smoke i'm enjoying right now, tat blk, great size and fantastic power to it.

The two 5 Vegas Series 'A' short smokes...the "Anomaly" (a pc) and the "Atomic" (fat almost like a NUB) are both cool. I personally find that blend to be...well, very weird. Not bad weird, just different than anything I've had. I like it, though.

The one I had today was a 5 Vegas Shorty Torpedo, which is a Cameroon. Very tasty little stick, though not as strong as you usually seem to go for, Wigwam. But you can find them for $1/stick...me likey :)

I like these a lot. I haven't had a Fuente Sun Grown that is bad. They have a very unique flavor and the aroma is awesome.
