  • 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 got this from Gokian,one of BOTL's finest! thanks Tom!

i have never smoked one of these cigars,and have only recently heard of them. i told tom i would post a review,and here it is...

a good looking cigar,very solid feel with a strong coffee and pepper smell. when i say strong coffee,i mean strong coffee!
every time i smelled it,i felt like i had just taken a sip of black coffee


punched and torched and it lit right up.
it's a lot smoother than i thought it was gonna be.
coffee with pepper and an almost sweet tasting tobacco in the first few puffs.
easy draw,pretty good burn,lot's of cool smoke that's very smooth on the retrohale with hardly no bite or burn


coffee and pepper with a dusting of cocoa flavors.
the tobacco has a woodsy hay taste to it that's actually a little creamy.
i know i'm just getting started,but i really like this cigar so far!
kinda wish i had a cup of coffee to go with it though. it's in the mid 40's today,sunny,but chilly,with a light breeze


pepper has faded,coffee with light cocoa has picked up a taste of leather too.
same woodsy hay tasting tobacco.
fantastic draw,near perfect burn,and no shortage of smoke.


steady smoking with no real changes in flavors.
leather has picked up a bit,it's also a little creamier now,leather tends to do that for me.
a full bodied,medium strength cigar at this point


pepper is back in a naughty way. it has a kick and burns a bit on the retrohale.
cocoa has faded,leaving coffee and leather.tobacco is more woodsy tasting with less hay flavor now.
ash fell at about 2 inches


last couple of inches,bandless,but the cigar is still singing with a peppery beat,a creamy leather coffee duet,and a woodsy tobacco harmony. Zilla,that's not what rock the world means...


nubbing it on a strong note after an hour or so.
leather with coffee is very creamy with a pepper flair. woodsy tobacco ended on the sweet side,if you can believe that.
a solid cigar from start to finish. fantastic draw and burn with plenty of smoke for the entire cigar.


it was a real pleasure to smoke this cigar.
thank you Tom!!
hope you enjoyed the review!

Hey Ron...Speaking of Zilla rocking the world. What happened to his gal pal? (wasn't it Sunny or Funny?)
