  • 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.

After work quick review for a stick that @jfettlol gifted me. Thank you brother.

Double corona mystery stick (my guess- CC ....maybe monticristo?)

First third- Nuts, hops, hay, mild and a light cream. A light sweetness underneath the main profile. Perfect burn and draw.

Middle- Medium spice, hops, tart, the smoke borders on bitter through the middle but ends in a light powdered sugar...I've also noted a Crisp apple on the finish as well.

Final third- Spice picking up in the final third. Medium body, mild Nic hit. The cream is building in richness. Still burning and smoking like a gem.

This stick had a consistent profile, burned and smoked amazingly well and finished with a richness in body without all the nicotine. It would be a great stick to go with your morning coffee.

Smoke time: 1hr 20mins

Score: 90

Holy crap. This was a while ago. Glad you enjoyed and I'm even happier you couldn't be any more wrong. Diamond in the rough, one of my favorite budget smokes. Carlos Torano 1959 silver edition. :)

A few months? Plus since I gave it to you. Hahaha they ARE good, don't feel bad! Construction on all 10 erm.. 9 were perfect and all smoked the same. My exact thoughts on it being a morning cigar. I never gave them the time to actually review/analyze though.

I've had these before and remember liking them but don't remember them being that good. Mine were Robustos though, maybe it has to do with the size. Crazyness
