  • 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.

Takin' the dogs for a walk. Pulled this cigar from the humidor, been eyeing it for a long while now and never quite made it to firing it up. Nice slightly salty tobacco and small lingering spice aroma. Clipped the cap leaving a good draw with a light, slightly sweet woody flavor. Put flame to it, leashed the dogs and away we went. The burn was inconsistent, had to stop several times and touch up. Flavors started out a light tobacco/woody flavor with a nice spice profile. The spices were fleeting though due to the mediocre smoke output. Tried clipping more off the cap, but it didn't get any better. About half way through there was a leather flavor that joined the mix. None of the flavors were really tied in with the others (probably due to the uneven burn). Overall not a bad cigar, but didn't impress me. Given that these may be hard to find (seemed like all the online places I saw were Out of Stock :dunno:), not going to seek them out.

Thanks for the review Dan. Hadn't thought about Cusano cigars in a while, brings back a vague memory. I don't remember how many years it's been, but I remember enjoying quite a lot the cigar they made commemorating their 10th year. Guess I'll have to check to see if those can still be bought somewhere.
