  • 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.

Cold draw: Some nice cocoa, a little dark roast coffee bean.

Beginning has more black pepper than any cigar I’ve smoked recently. Not exactly overwhelming, but annoying. Doesn’t start at all like the Cafe 52 I smoked awhile back. Hoping for better, and soon.

After a few more puffs of singing the nostrils on retrohale, things settle into a cocoa-marshmallow vibe. They don’t stay there. Good lord…. this is like a completely different blend than that Cafe 52. Bitter, so bitter.

This one has no hope for me. I knew I’d find some along the way that would not have repeat performances. This is one. Maybe it’s the thinner ring gauge, but this one is getting tossed early.

IMHO the red band Reserva Limitada is far superior. It's one of those you want to eat.
