  • 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.

bought 5 singles today...how'd I do?

nice selection... I suggest you stick with singles and 5-packs for atleast a year. Then you'll start to know what kind of smokes you like and won't blow a bunch of money on a box that a year from now you won't care for. And keep a notebook as well with notes about every cigar. Again, not something you have to continue forever, just until you nail down exactly what you like.

The padron maduros are amazing... the naturals are too but the trick is to smoke them a little bit on the dry side. Stick the naturals in a dry container for a couple days or even better an empty non-humidified humidor before you smoke one.

One of my favorite low cost sticks is a Lot 23 maduro robusto. Good selection there. I bought in on a box with a friend last year, sorry to see them almost gone. Good yardwork gar.

I'd say you did pretty good! The Opus is very full-bodied, but hey, give it a try down the line and you may love it. You're wallet may not though. :crosseyed

They look good. Especially if that Lot 23 is a maduro. wowsers, what an underrated line.
