  • 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.

another first for me thanks to chris (ckay). thanks for the trade chris!!

mmmmm candela
med feel,softer at the foot,grassy tea smell.


easy cut,quick light.
grassy tobacco flavor with light pepper in the first couple of puffs


very smooth,cool smoke,no bite.
it's got that green tea taste that i always get with candela wrappers.


grassy has turned more earthy with just a hint of wood,i want to say cedar,but it's too faint for me to tell.


fantastic draw so far,flavors holding steady. nothing jumping out as dominate,very well blended.
green seems to be the color of the day...lol


the final 1/3 and the pepper kicks up a little. the green tea,which i think is from the wrapper,is still happening,along with a nice tobacco taste. definitely hanging out in the medium bodied/strength area


steady smoking for awhile,no real flavor changes. thought i tasted a bit of leather,but it only lasted a couple of puffs.
mostly it has been very light pepper,grassy tobacco and lingering green tea.
solid and tasty throughout. a very nice cigar and a pleasure to smoke.
i'm nubbin' it because i'm lovin' it


thanks for reading. hope you enjoyed the review!

Thanks for the review and pics! I'll have to check it out. I don't think I've ever had a stick with the candela wrapper, but always been curious.
