  • 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.

Review # 53
$4.60 - $8.
Med-Full
Wrapper: Oscuro
Origin: Honduras
5.0" x 54



Prelight: Emmm, sweet dry fruityness, leather with a splash of flower nectar on it.

1st 1/3
Light pepper with a little sugar powder in it, creamy spice, touch of wildflowers that carry's a bitter note to it.

Burn is wonky, slightly tight draw

Has sweet cocoa with a touch of caramel and nuttyness and a fresh finish, man I'm loving this stick so far and I'm only in the first 1/3

2nd 1/3
Getting some mint also as I go into the 2nd 1/3, burn self corrected
This cigar is made by the same makers of Punch and Hoyo De Monterrey but I've stayed away from Punch for years now.

Cigar is burning nice and cool, draw opened up and seems more of a medium body to me.

Final 1/3
Light creamy coffee with toasted nuts & a touch of floral & sugary sweetness continue.

The strength increases somewhat now adding charcoal to the mix, but still enjoyable.

All the flavors begin to fade more in the background and drift in and out, the spice notes dominate in the last few inches but not pepper.
Great stick with lots of flavor for cheap, highly recommended

Smoke time: 1 hr 30 min
Score 8.8 out of 10

Never had a bad El Rey del Mundo...agree with RevSmoke, very consistent smoke, has been my go-to for at least the last ten years! I have some ERDM's in my humidor with a Nicaraguan wrapper, very nice, when I have time for a nice sit-down to relax smoke, these get the nod!
