  • 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.

Here is a great Deal?

Ok so here it is, I am an avid cigar smoker. As many of you know, I came across this a long time ago but never jumped on it. But finally I decided what the hell and bought some.

Belive it or not, they are Perdomo ESV 91' seconds from CI. I bought the Regente size I bought them during a sale for $29.99 for a bundle of 15.

I was sceptical on if these were truely ESV quality Perdomo's. So I even looked them over in comparison to the ESV banded firsts. They look almost identical in every way. So I smoked the ESV 91 and then the ESV second from CI. I was impressed by the fact the are actually the same thing. DAMN! Being that I love this line I can save big money by buying the seconds.

If you haven't tried an ESV 91' or think that Perdomo is not a great cigar from past experience give the company another try. I haven't had a bad Perdomo in my years of smoking yet.

So if you are looking for a good daily inexpensive cigar Please give these a try. If you don't like them PM me and I will trade you for them, if I can.

I don't often recomend cigars, but these are damn fine inexpensive cigars, that are equal to the actual banded ESV 91's.

The bundle I got looked damn near flawless. I have not Idea what Nicks selection criteria is but damn, as soon as I can afford it I'm getting another bundle. I have the ESV 91 box for the Regente size at home, I try to keep it full.

Another excellent Perdomo is the Edicion de Silvio "Keeny" Cameroon. I got a fiver of these for $45.00 on C-bid. Talk about one of the best cameroon cigar ever.

must not be a lot of Perdomo fans around here.
I was real big into Perdomo a little over a year ago. The majority of smokes were all Perdomo. I still like the ESV's once in a while. I just kinda moved away from a lot of that line. I have two new sticks he came out with recently. I have yet to try either of them out. Nick Perdomo's stuff is definitely top notch.

Perdomo makes very good cigars. They tend to be on the mild to medium side though.

I've been through more than a few of those bundles - I just got burned out on em. They had a pallet of those in the store last weekend! They usually only get a few at a time..

I really like the new Perdomo Patriarch maduro. Full & very tasty!

I enjoy smoking them, I need to get another bundle. I think they are a good starter cigar to warm up the taste buds.

I've liked the Perdomos I've smoked this far...except the 1 ESV that I had...but I'm hoping that was a fluke. That particular stick I found to be creamy but pretty much tasteless, which is not how they are described.

I love nearly everything Perdomo. At my small budget, I hoard ESVs and dole them out slowly. If these seconds are near the "real" ESVs, I'm gonna cry. In a good way :) I love Champagnes for a mild smoke, Habano Corojos, Lot 23s, Sun Growns. I don't think I've met one of Nick's I don't like.

A little ashamed to admit this, But I've only had one Perdomo...I believe it was a sun grown. And I remember being pleasantly surprised with it. I should probably make an effort to try a seond one! Thanks for the heads up.
