  • 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 couldn't wait for my Blacks and Verocus to show up, all week the weather was great and I was banking on sitting out on the porch in high 40 degree weather. Of course today we get our first real snow since we had a little freak snow a couple months ago.

I decided instead to smoke an El Triunfador Lancero and take my husky out for a little walk. It is a cigar that I really like everything about; construction seems perfect, great burn, wonderful flavor profile and scent to go with it.



I love the look of a lancero, they had to grow on me a bit but over the last couple of weeks I have been turning to them more often.



The first third was absolutely delicious, its hard for me to pick out exact flavors so I will stay away from that in my reviews. It was absolutely freezing, for some reason I didn't even notice until I reached about half way through this smoke.



This was the point in the cigar that I decided to throw some gloves on. LOL Not just any gloves, my receiver gloves from flag football, apparently when covered in snow, instead of their normal tackiness, they are more like a slip and slide causing me to drop the cigar about a dozen times.... Time for the multi-tool (God I love this thing)



For being dropped in the snow numerous times, it stayed lit and smoked like a champ until the end.

Over all I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience even though I may have some minor frost bite. :smokingbo

My pup.

Nice review and pictures.

I'm also turning more and more to lanceros. I love the flavors of the My Father Lancero as well as the Oliva Serie V.

Great review bro. Beautiful dog. We had an alaskan husky "angel" for a great fourteen years. Left us this past summer. They are great dogs.

How bout that snow?? We got a good inch or two in the city. Just enough to keep the trouble makers off the streets. Quiet shift LOL!!
