  • 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 had my first BGM and man it was good. Sweet coffee, spice. The initial nose hit was great. Had to relight twice but did not take away from the experience. Second verse, same as the first. Very consistant. Getting a slight buzz. Hmmmmm. Grett flavor on the lips and palate. Chocolate!!! Should have punched a hole rather than cut. Milk in the coffee in the third verse with more spice. Good Stick. Any one tried this?

Here's a couple of nice review's....

"This much loved cigar is now available again (last production was in 1992). Known to be one of the most powerful cigars to be produced in Cuba, this Lonsdale will push even the experienced palate into submission."


"La Casa del Habanos, has just reintroduced the Bolivar Gold Medal in packs of ten. The Lonsdale-sized smoke, with a 42 ring (6 1/2” x 42), hasn't been made since the 1980s. We haven't smoked one of the new ones as of yet, but the packaging alone, which was copied exactly down to the bright gold foil inset, is to die for. All are made in the Partagas factory. As far as we know only 1,000 boxes were made."

I have yet to smoke one, but i do have one in the humi. I might be able to find a reason to smoke in a week or two. Maybe by the pool with some buddies.
