  • 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.

Blind reviews! - updated 1st post

Be on the lookout!
Blind reviews coming soon!

Please if you immediately recognize a stick do not call it out until it has been revealed!

Each participant will be posting their own review thread per stick so it can be attached to their account.

Cigar A: Man O' War Puro Authentico (for me, and many I know, this is a great quick every day smoke)

Cigar B: Ok, so I thought I was pulling off a little trickery here.
Half the panel got: My Father Cedros Deluxe (one of my favorite, if not favorite, DPG cigars)
Half the panel got: Oliva V Especial Maduro 2011 (one of my most anticipated annual releases)

Ok so 4/6 have posted cigar A's review.

At this point I think it is rather obvious what cigar A is.
But I will wait until the last two post and I will reveal!

Cigar B & C should get more interesting!

Premature ejaculator.
:nodlaugh:Yeah I'm going to actually do a pre and post guess on each cigar... even send my guesses prior to Neil prior to lighting it up... I'm probably going to look like a fool on these other sticks...

Same. I knew what the first was before smoking, but the other two could be a million different sticks...

Ok so still waiting on Jim to post up, but
Cigar A is in fact Man O War Puro Authentico!
Kind of a layup there as the look alone could reveal a ton about this cigar!

Now don't worry about reading everyone else's reviews for cigars B&C!
You may or may not have the same cigar as your fellow panelists!

I did a blind 6er on my vacation week over the holidays (from a botl on another forum)... I was surprised that I managed to put them in general order of quality! And I found a nice $4-5 box-worthy stick to boot!

They all go to the same post (JDogs) for me. :scratchhe
Ok,
so I think I need a little help here!

I put all the links in there properly.

I go look at them and in the edit screen they are all correct.

but when I save they all link to my 1st URL?

Any help would be appreciated here.
