  • 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've really enjoyed the 2-3 I've had, but not Phenominal. all have had good flavors and construction, but I would take a Tat over them anyday.

Love the VSG, prefer the Ashton Cabinet. Ashton is too expensive a brand for me to smoke on any sort of regular basis.

Would love to try one. Love the Heritage Puro Sols, but I'll echo my brothers above in the "can't afford many of them" sentiment.

I have not cared for the VSG's I've had. I've only had a few, but they all had a straightforward and very powerful tobacco flavor to me, reminded me of a more powerful version of the Don Carlos or a SCDLH. I like flavor without being overpowered. These are not for me at all.

I had the torpedo twice and didn't care for it. I have one sleeping now. Hopefully it will improve. It was far from what I expected.

I'm not a huge fan. I think the flavor profile is too tangled for me. I can't draw the different flavors out. They meld together and almost get harsh. The Wizard was the one I loved. The larger ring gauge made it easier to get the distinct flavors out of it.

One of my all-time favorites. I have smoked 4-5 of every variety of them and if money were not an issue they'd be in the regular rotation!
