  • 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 # 65
$7. - $10.
B&M purchase
Size: 6'" x 54
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Strength: Medium / Full



Prelight: Sweet tobacco, cedar, hay and oak wood.

1st 1/3
Classic Nicaraguan peppery start, salty, cocoa, spice, sweet wood, light coffee and earth.
Perfect draw, straight burn, starts off as a medium body, white gray ash.

2nd 1/3
The pepper has almost faded completely with the spice very much intact as the dominate note.

The flavor is more a rich milk chocolate, with a bit of espresso with a hint of oak and hay.
The aroma is very pleasant in the air off this cigar in the patio.

Could be creamery to off-set the spice for my taste, remains in the medium to full range.
Burn has required no corrections and the draw has remained excellent.

Final 1/3
The cigar is now getting a little creamery with the prevailing spice notes winning out and a nice after taste on the palette.

The notes of light milk chocolate, espresso, oak, and hay all remain.
For me a medium full body stick, with a slight nicotine buzz.

Cigar has been cool burning with my slow draws, keeping the flavors manageable.

This cigar reminds me of the Pinolero by AJ Fernandez that is a little smoother and less expensive.

Smoke time 1hr 30 min
Score 7.8 out of 10
