  • 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 now, E P Carillo Encore

Well after overhearing JFire the other day I'm going to give it another try, hopefully the wrapper won't come apart on me this time.
T, I had one while at the Leaf on Thursday. First one that the wrap didn't unravel. The band could actually move around. Finally! That was the one thing that was ruining this cigar.

I have had 2 now, as that is all I have, wish I had more. This is probably one of the best cigars I had smoked in a long while. It is really complex, with so many different nuances, that most people are not picking up on. It seems people are expecting some power bomb. I think the power comes from all the subtleties that people miss. I have not had an issues with either one's wrapper having an issue. Wish I could be smoking one right now, instead of what I'm smoking.

Yep, you nailed it...

I LOVE these sticks, one of the best NC mild+ cigars I have had in a long time, but they are NOT power bombs, they are VERY subtle...
