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.
Im sorry Pete!

Guys, These cigars I sent with Dan's help are not meant to be aged. They are to be smoked to give you all a first look of how the tobacco is coming along. The cigars you will age will be the ones when they are released. These cigars were made from 9 month old tobacco. We didn't start production for another 3+ months. Your tasting a barrel sample. You are only tasting not getting a bottle. No winery would ever bottle a barrel sample for multiple consumers to taste until it was absolutely ready to drink.
Be a critic, taste all the flavors(not just strength levels) and smell the aromas. Look at all parts of the cigar and judge it like Robert Parker or James Suckling would rate a sample of wine one year before it is released. Judge it for what it could be not for what it is. Have Fun....

I think the prblem is that this was quite a departure from what most of expect out a cigar from Pete. The flavours were to me a little more subtle then normal. It wasn't my favorite cigar from Pete, but I never judge a cigar from just one. I think it had great potential and a fuller bodied version should be great. I look forward to trying the full release product.
Pete hasn't steered me wrong with a smoke yet.

So when do the next "swag packs" go out? I think it would be a phenomenal opportunity to taste one of these prior to it reaching its full potential and to compare the changes once it is released. You all got a unique opportunity to experience how educated and talented Pete has to be in order to take a blend that may not be exceptional and still know that it will reach its potential with time. That is an ability that I wish I had. Keep it up Pete, I have yet to smoke something you made that I did not like.
I see said the blind man. I'll let ye know what I think of mine!
from what ive heard this is a very experimental cigar... not sure about the details but as i understand the approach to making la verite is dramatically different than the norm.
anytime you push the envelope you're taking a huge risk... the outcome is uncertain. but the rewards could be much greater. i personally havent' tried the verite but i commend pete for taking a risk.:clap:
im very intersted to try one when they are finally released.

Not enough spice for me... and too one dimensional...
don't get me wrong... it's a great cigar....but I am spoiled by the miami line...:cbig:
I got lots of cigars at the Havana line price point...ambos mundos, AF Sungrown, padrons..... but for some reason.. that line doesn't trip my trigger.:dunno:
