  • 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.

Had a new AVO LE 08 today...

Yeah, go try those if you get a chance. I don't think these need any age to be good right now. And if you picked some up, well lets just say I would tuck'em away for a few minutes.:smokingbo

I smoked it at my local B&M. I did an internet search and did not turn much up in availibility on line. If you want me to pick you up one I probably can. There weren't that many left so let me know.

The cigar started a little harsh, and I said to myself "here we go, another harsh ass dominican that needs to sit for another six months that cost 13 bucks!"

I often am told by the sales reps that something is smoking "well" only to find it is not. Anyway, it immediately settled into a sweet spiciness that tickled the back of the throat and tongue for a while. The second half the cream and the cedar tastes started coming in, with little notes of spice. The last third had orange peel and cream appear again. It turned bitter towards the end, witch might be helped with a little aging. I would definately get another. I would say medium bodied.

The cigar is 5 2/3 x 50 I believe and is great.

The 08' are an amped up 07'. A little more body and strength. A solid medium bodied cigar.

I picked up 5 of these in San Antonio on my last trip. I think it was at Club Humidor, either that or The Humidor, I hit a few B&M's while I was there. Haven't had one yet, but liked the 07.

A new term in the internet era.

As Mitch said...bricks * morter, as opposed to internet sales, where the supplier often times jsut has a garage or warehouse full of stuff but no actual real-life store you can walk into.
