  • 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.

Smoked the cigar of the year for me last night (and for all of last year as far as I can remember). A 10 year old ERdM Grandes de Espana. Started out mild with subtle, hard to pin down flavors. Something not quite cardboard (but in a good way), not quite toast or spice or graham cracker. Pretty much smoked like that for the first half, but started gaining more depth after the 1st third. After that it slowly morphed into a flavor bomb and by the beginning of the last third, it had the most body and depth of rich flavor of any medium strength stick I've tried (and got better) - although it stayed mild in strength. I've never had a stick go from that mild to that intense (or anything close). Man I wish I had a box of these.

I really like the emerald. It is a nice, flavorful mild cigar. I enjoy them early in the day, or when I'm just in the mood for a change of pace. I've only had the black once. It was a completely different animal. Full flavored and earthy. I enjoyed it as well. I've had several rubys in a couple vitolas, and they're just not my thing.
Here are my official reviews from last February:

I thought I took pics, but my phone says otherwise. Here's the band:
