  • 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.

Review # 28
$6. - $9.
6 1/2" x 56, Pigtail cap
Wrapper: Brazilian Maduro
Binder: Olor Dominican and Cuban Seed
Filler: Olor Dominican, Cuban Seed, and Nicaraguan
Body: Medium/Full

Prelight: Cedar, sweet tobacco, cocoa

1st 1/3
Warm spice on the lips with some sweetness and salty flavors, cocoa, cedar with a bit of leather, cocoa dominates.

Draw a little tight, nice burn line, smoke is creamy, gray white ash.

2nd 1/3
Draw still unacceptably tight, leather and cocoa, creamy with hints of tangy spice finish on the palate.

Besides the draw one of the beset maduro's out there

Final 1/3
Get a strong smooth creamy spice note that is very enjoyable here along with the cocoa and smooth leather.

I recommend this cigar and all of the Kristoff cigars, something I can't say about Alec Bradley, La Aroma or Tatuaje.

Getting the N buzz a little, no bitterness found in the last 1/3
Only issue was the darn tight draw not found in the other four I had.

Smoke time 1 hr 20 min
Score 8.8 out of 10
