  • 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.

Recieved them on Thursday and had one on Friday and so here is my assesment on this stick.
First of all this is the torpedo and I give the apperence a 7 out of 10 as it felt lumpy and you sould see an untidy wrapper line all the way down
I used an xikar cutter and snipped about 3/8-1/2 of the head.
On the light, the draw was effortless which is always a plus and the burn perfect so 10/10
First taste was Pepper'y and creamy...It had that DPG taste to it I thought.
durring the first third I still felt as though I was smoking a DPG Blend. The pepper took a back step with Leather and Earth taking the lead.
The second third was just the same.
Final third again was the same and I smoked it as far as I could till It got hot.
My final thought on this was...
Nothing really special as I have cigars in my humi from DPG that taste the same if not better. I found it completely one dimensional to be honest but to be fair it wasn't bad either. I would give it a modest 6/10-7/10
My final thought...I don't think I'll be buying a box because I just think there are better sticks out there from Pete at the moment (7th Reserva blew me away) however I do think they warrent a 5 pack atleast so you can compare for yourself off the truck and with some time.
Just my 2 cents on this one fellas!!
