  • 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 # 27
$ 7. - $ 9.
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Mexican San Andres Negro
Binder/Filler: Connecticut Habano/Brazilian Mata Fina & Nicaraguan Habano
Size: 5 5/8 x 46

Prelight: Aged tobacco, cedar, earth, leather, nuts and some herbal spices.
The herbal spices dominates here the most.

1st 1/3
Perfect draw, very smooth and creamy smoke, has a constant smoke output off the foot

Coffee, cocoa, nuts, cedar, leather and delicate sweet spices, no harsh bitterness of pepper notes exist here.
Burning perfectly straight.

2nd 1/3
Smoothness continues, I only wish the stick was a little louder in it's excellent flavors

Continues with coffee, cedar, cocoa with nuts, leather and the herbal spices.

Burn line continues with its straight line and the constant chimney smoke off the foot.

Last 1/3
Not overly complex but the mild smooth flavors are excellent
I think the dominate note is the herbal spices, almost clove like

Getting some caramel here also with very light pepper, the draw remains excellent and straight burn.
I think the Undercrown has to be the most billowing cigar I've ever smoked.

The flavors ramp up here in the last 1/3, making it a great finish.
A very enjoyable smoke this labor day morning

Smoke time: 1hr 20min
Score 9 out of 10

nice - thanks for the review. I just bought 1/2 box of these to try. How long did you keep in your humidor before they were ready to smoke?

Thanks. I was given one recently to try and the smell of the cigar alone is just amazing. Can't wait to try it!

Had a few of these and they are amazing smokes for the price. This one is really tasty as well: Liga Undercrown Corona Doble. I think the Privada line and Undercrown line use different vintages and primings of tobacco but may be mistaken. Non the less Liga makes and amazing stick! Thanks for the review Goldwing! Motivating read :)
