  • 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.

You are paying for a LOT of hype first thing. They are difficult to roll that small size and shape plus the barber pole wrapper is difficult too. I do not purchase them based on the high price vs average enjoyment.

With how windy it is and having your lips closed like that it looks like smoked was photo-shopped in.

I have yet to try one of these, price pushes me away. Everyone I talk to says they are alright, just more of a looker.

I've had several BTL's and they all seemed to sweet for me. Reminded me of a RyJ Reserva Real which I don't care for in the least.
I've never had a BTL but the Hemingway's in general share a "sweet" quality...and the only cigar that leaves a almost sugary flavor on my lips after I'm done. I'm not necessarily against it, but it is unique imo.

I saw some on Sat for $17.40 each.

I passed them up for the Opus PL for $12.50

For $17.40 each it would have to spank my a$$ and call me by name before I'd pull the trigger on it. I prefer an Opus of any kind before a BTL,,,it's a $6 cigar pure and simple.

Never have been able to get ahold of any of the holiday Fuentes, but I think the WOAM would be my first choice given all the feedback I've heard.
