  • 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 the next few weekends 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.

Not bad! But that IMO is a awfully oily wrapper to be a CC. Could be but my guess is a no. I'm going to go with a older nc (6yrs say) or a newer nc that just isn't a power house.
Edit:
After looking at Red Raiders pics this cigar does have detailed Cuban stitching on the wrapper leaf. Now I'm confused. God I love these blind reviews even when I'm not part of them! Maybe a bolivar? Such a dark wrapper!?!?

If it's a cc I have an idea of what it could be. Don't know if I should say, I don't wanna sway any opinions or ruin anything

I like the video review route. Great job and slightly relieved that we had some similar flavors and profiles. You should definitely continue the video reviews.

I too am confused... Can't wait to find out what this was

Was finally able to sit down and watch your review. Great job. Definitely a challenge to do your first review, especially a video review. Never done one myself.
