  • 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.

Had my first no.9 last week, and while it was a great smoke, it didn't really live up to all of the hype I have seen. I hope to try a T-52 soon, to see if it is better.

Enjoyed your review as usual, brother.

Had to top this - enjoyed a # 9 robusto this afternoon reading a Vince Flynn novel - older one "Third Option" book is very good so far - have read others of his and can't put them down.

I did have a flying pig last year and remember it was a great cigar - that licorice flavor was memorable - this #9 was smoother than I anticipated with complex flavors, a nice subtle change throughout, there was a slight peppery/cinnamon like lip sensation that was just enough - and a ton of smoke - great burn - was pleasantly surprised - have a #52 and based on reviews here I'm looking forward to it - very nice cigar

Shawn, this was one of your best, and they are all good!

I am torn. I fell head over heals in love with the T52, but an aged #9 sounds special. That #9 Pig with just a frosting of plume was magic. But, again, I have to agree with SM and Larry, the richness of the white pepper, chocolate and coffee just blow me away.
