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.

Yes, Gran Habano #5 is a great smoke.
I know from experience that this tobacco is fermented at a lower temp, for longer time which should create a cigar that has the ability to age better long term (obviously dependent on tobacco quality which I believe to be stellar). I've smoked 5 y/o versions and they are some of the best N/Cs I've ever smoked. Do yourself a favor. Get your favorite B&M to pick up the phone & harass the owner into releasing his "blend 6". It's amazing with some age. Young it will kill you. 3+ years & I'd choose it over a lot of Cubans.
Haven't smoked enough 3s yet but from what I've had, they're magnificent as well.

I have a box of the #5 Pyramids, paid $3 more thru an auction than Rocky's is advertising. These are over a year old now, and I haven't had one in a while. They were pretty good, but they didn't cause any wow factor. I have gifted a bunch. The rest are sitting in a coolidor awaiting the next stage of development.

I just smoke em. I really like this cigar out of the box. This time I ordered an extra box to age a couple just for fun.
