  • 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.

This 6×50 stick produced a rich smooth smoke, giving a medium bodied mix of leather and nut flavors with touches of caramel and pepper at certain points. The draw was perfect along with a near razor sharp burn, holding as for 3/4 - 1 1/2 inches at a time. At the end of the band point it started getting warm with about 1 1/2″ to go where I stopped. More in the video!

It burned perfectly, had the flavors that I described - nothing awful about it - not my personal taste, but I never judge a cigar based on that. What did you find awful exactly?

I've only had 4 blends so far, and the one I would buy more of in a heartbeat - so far - is the Full Sail Maduro...I'll be reviewing that shortly along with some others...

Bucaneros are intersting cigars. For a Costa Rican puro, try the Treasures of Costa Rica by Bucanero. This is actually a pretty good cigar, but very very different.

Well, to put it nicely and to use proper terminology, the flavor equivalent was Hobo's Ass

So what your saying is you have had Hobo's ass before. Thanks for the review but from what Chuck says i don't think this will be on my wish list.

Well, it sure sounds like we had a completely different experience, because it was up there with many other's with similar blends - nothing abnormal about the taste in the least.

That is what makes the world go round. I know folks that like Thompson Iguanas. To each his own. I t is rare however to be direct opposites such as this case.

It's also possible you got a bad batch or something, who knows - I just had two other Bucaneros today and frankly they were terrible (review coming soon). So far I've had one that's excellent, one that's ok (this one) and three I didn't like.

Doesn't sound like very good odds. Think I will skip this one. "Life is too short for a bad cigar"
