  • 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.

Looking for suggestions

Just thought I'd let you guys know what I picked up. I'll be going back in a week or so to grab a few more. I grabbed an Oliva "Series V double belicoso", a don pepin "my father #3", and an ashton "VSG robusto".

I was looking for the casa royale, but I didn't see those, they had a nice selection of Illusion so I will pick up one of those next week. Darn all this crappy weather we've had in this neck of the woods. Rain, wind, rain, wind. I'm dying to light up but can't smoke in the house.
Casa Royale is a Don Pepin cigar made exclusively for Holt's in Philly. Excellent stick.

Chuck, Holt's Connoisseur Selection is also made by DPG, how are they compared to the Casa Royale?

That would be a Tatuaje Noella. The Noella (5 1/8 x 42) is one of the original Seleccion de Cazador, at a Petit size called Marevas - and is a great shorter smoke, although not that short.
Actually I was there again today and it is a Regios

grabbed an illusion 68 and a cg4, also grabbed two Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas No. 3 in glass tubes as they were on special 2 for 1.

Humi is getting full!!

In my opinion, it's plain and simple....Tatuaje!

The brown bands are the closest thing I have found to smoking authenic CC's.

Dion's Illusiones and Cruzados and damn near anything by Don Pepin Garcia (DPG).
Do yourself a favor and listen to this man...

I know there is almost a 50/50 split on what to do with sticks wrapped in cellophane, but what about the ones I just got in glass tubes? Corks on the end and all wrapped up nice and tight. Keep'em in there?

That's what I do.
