  • 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.

Another day and another Bull City Cigar Company smoke.


Bull City Cigar Company - O M'anam (toro)
Corojo Maduro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Binder, Dominican Filler
Soft Flame Light
No Drink

"Spring Honeysuckle greets you but gives way to slight earth and oak flavors. . . from my soul to keep you warm."

It started off mild-medium with honeysuckle being the dominate flavor. By this point it was already honeysuckle, oak, earth, and a hint of black pepper. Then it settled into oak, earth, a touch of spice and bit of sweet honey. It changed up and became a very Dominican cigar with the Ecuadorian binder keeping it from getting too dark. The Maduro Corojo wrapper added a bit of spice and at times a nice dark chocolate. Going in to the final third the binder came to the forefront and then the chocolate, spice, earth, and oak really came out as the cigar turned into a full body smoke bomb. Then another vanilla like flavor came in and things were really cooking. This cigar takes you from mild to full body and tells it's own story. There were times I thought it was perfect for fans of Fuente maduros, and that came as no surprise since the master roller previously rolled for Fuente and Davidoff.

A really good cigar at less than a month from the date of rolling. I would love to see what it does after three or six months.

They are a local brand here in NC. They have a web store and only distribute to a hand full of shops in the metro area. They recently opened their own shop and have bi-weekly herfs on their patio. It is a three man boutique operation with a small 12x12 or 15x15 room for rolling and a slightly larger retail space in front. The master roller worked for Davidoff and Fuente in the past. So, it is about the love and tradition.

Thanks for posting, very nice. I like the one off shop sticks like that; they can be tremendous finds. We used to have a couple like that here in the Sacramento region that rivaled any of the bundle sticks on the market. Gonna have one of my counterparts in RTP check them out for me.
