CoM Review - Cigar of the Month - Master Thread

[Erikcooper]

Give me a little bit Clint. I have a thread I started asking about San Andres wrapped sticks, it's my favorite wrapper. There are some gems on there.
RoMa Craft Neanderthal should be included for sure

My picks would be the aforementioned Jericho Hill and Neanderthal as well as Illusione Rothchildes, Oliva V Melanio Maduro and Viaje Cache.

The San Andres thread is here if anyone wants to skim through it

San Andres

I was actually just reading it as you posted. Quite the list the guys have put together, there. Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you!

 

[Erikcooper]

Yea it could be awhile to get around to all of those

Ok, apparently Warped El Oso Mama needs to be added. It is the lone vitola from the line that uses a San Andres wrapper

I'm all for the L'Atelier La Mission. It would give me an excuse to smoke the one I've had for awhile.

Good suggestions so far. We should get a poll going ASAP.

I nominate the EPC La Historia

 

[cgraunke]

Thanks for all the nominations!
I actually had to cut the list down a bit to fit our ten choice maximum.
Poll is up for April CoM:

Anyone have any thoughts on a theme for May?

 

[tadpole]

man, i wanted to get another review in for the CH JH lancero for april, but after HBH4, my taste buds are cashed. (i smoked 12 in that weekend, and im usually a 2-3 per week kinda guy). that said... for may, any of the illusione sticks. there is a plethora to choose from.

 

[IronW]

I'd suggest Sumatra Wrapper or Ecuadorian Habano Wrapper as a good theme.

 

[atllogix]

Maybe Tat Capa Especials

Do we have a pole up for May CoM?

 

[tadpole]

i would love to put up a poll, but @cgraunke might have some ideas brewing? not sure. im patiently waiting

 

[cgraunke]

Just about got a list together for Sumatra if anyone else has any to add...
@tadpole I wasn't seeing any from Illusione, though. Is there one?

 

[tadpole]

hmmm... i could be wrong, but i dont think illusione has a sumatra wrapper. if we are going sumatra... id like to get aging room F55, diamond crown maximus, and the acid kuba kuba.

note 1: if you didnt know, the acid was added as a joke.
note 2: if you know im joking, please dont add it to the poll for $#!ts and giggles... some jerks will vote for it, and we will be stuck reviewing it!

Ha! I actually already had the Kuba Kuba on there. It stays.
I'll go add the other two, though.

It's that time again - we're looking for suggestions for the BOTL Cigar of the Month!
Let us know what you think our June CoM should be, be it a specific cigar or a theme for the month:

• Do you have something you've had your eye on, just looking for a reason to buy? Tell us now!
• Got something you love and think everyone else should try? Speak up!
• Do you have any thoughts on something someone else has already recommended? We want to hear that, too!

The poll will consist of choices between different cigar blends within a similar theme, based mainly on your nominations here.
The winning cigar blend from that poll will be crowned our June CoM, then we'll all light up and review them together!

We'll do nominations for a couple days, then I'll build a poll from that and fill in any gaps with suggestions from prior months that haven't been used yet.
Many thanks!
Clint
