  • 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.

Way too strong for me I imagine would be the ligero. Very spicy is right for couple I have smoked. So strong & spicy seemed to overpower any other tastes. Started off pretty good but went downhill, pretty one dimentional to me.

This smoke in the smallest size (Marchitos) IMO was very good.

I did not care for the larger sizes. I had the robusto and the perfecto and they both got bitter very fast.

All of the ones I have smoked were fresh out of the shop. Maybe they need some time?

One friend of mine really likes the perfecto.

You may want to consider the JdN Celebration line. It is a quality smoke in the more medium side of things with a great taste profile.
This is a very good option. About 60% of the strength of the antano. They created this cigar because the strength of the original was too much for many people. If you do not like a strong spicy cigar, the Antano is not for you.

Yup. I like the strength of the Antanos just fine, but they are much more peppery than I prefer. The Celebracions are a nice compromise.
