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.

Too many current great San Andres maduro choices (LAT La Mission, Matilde Oscura, RC Neanderthal...) for me to take a flyer on these. Also, the last two EZs with SA Maduro wrappers (All My EXs and 1611) were just ok to me.
Ezra Zion has put up a new "House Blend" on their site. It comes in 4 different vitolas, and they are going for $35 for a 5er. This might not be so limited of a release since they didn't say how many were made, so it might be something of a regular production.
I also just noticed they are now selling the All My Exes Lancero on their site now too. I'm wondering if this marks some kind of break from Cigar Federation.

Yeah...saw this and I just keep shaking my head. I like EZ cigars but I'm done buying cigars that come out with all of the fanfare of "Only 525" made...knock off the hype and sell cigars, man. I love cigars but don't treat me like I'm some jagoff walking onto the used car lot. If the sign reads only 525 made...then that tells me that the cigar really wasn't tested thoroughly and you either minimized the amount to increase a sale or they aren't that good. Yes, I've read the reviews and as usual they read like Payola...I tend to believe the common cigar smoking person from Cigar Forums that don't have a dog in the fight. I stopped buying LE's and stuff some time back because my wallet kept getting thinner and the value just wasn't there.
The Brass Knuckle is about $60 plus for a fiver....really????? Out of the gate they are over $10 a stick? My instincts are this: High pricing and limited amounts of product is one of the oldest games around and I don't like being treated like some new guy who doesn't know what end of a cigar to light. As I said...I like EZ cigars and the guys who run the show but this is getting really old with their story....might as well change the name of the business to " Better get em now before they are gone"...
I can agree with most everything you said. I think that the reason there were so few made, however, is due to the tobacco being a small batch. But if they were only able to produce a limited run of robustos, but then somehow can make another run of toros, that kind of contradicts the first claim. I have a pack of the robustos, but haven't tried one yet. I did pass on these, though.
Agreed. I think they would be better served concentrating on getting their very good regular production cigars into more retailers. I have no idea if these monthly one offs are taking focus away from the core lines or not, but I believe in the cigars they produce and would like to see them do well.
Rookie Cards was released today. 505 made. I'm still on a buying freeze, so that's at least 5 more available. $60 for a 5 pack now.
This is supposedly a blend that they worked on from the beginning and were saving for their 5 or 10 year anniversary, but they are releasing it now. Makes me concerned whether or not they think they'll be around that much longer. I'm sure these FDA regulations are putting some fear in the hearts of these smaller manufacturers.
