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.
Today: A CROP.
SUPER dog rocket. I'm a masochist, I guess. My truck is acting up and I'm trying to fix it before I have to leave at 4:30. Three hours. Deo volente.
Preflight: Th smell is a bit acrid. More "ammonia" than your usual cigar. Its leaving a funny taste on my lips. Draw is a bit loose. I'm getting lots of air through it. Taste isn't awful, but I'm coughing (prelight, mind you) after hard draws. There's familiarity to the cold draw, but I've smoked a (expletive deleted) RAMROD. Familiatrity isn't always good. My lips are nearly tingling after a few minutes holding this thing in my mouth.
Holy God. That loose draw and extra ammonia really stands out. A mouth full of smoke is a mere second away. Just lit, it tastes like the 3/3 of a good cigar. This doesn't bode well. The taste is "amazing" in an "awful" way. It's SOOOO STRONG! Like a tire is being burned in my mouth. At least that would kill the taste buds...
1inch in. Ash falls off. Abandon all hope...
You know that moment when you think "its pretty strong. Should I nub it?" its like that except crap. This thing is not helping my truck work. It makes me wonder if my wiring is en flambe.
I'm resting it on my tire for like 5 minutes. The taste in my mouth dies quickly, as does my morale. At this point, im picking up, no lie, salt. It tastes salty. As though I put too much salt on a breakfast ham after smoking a good cigar the night before and not brushing.
Into the 2/3. Foot is loosening. Tire is manning up and helping. Terminals are shot but I don't care. I can't think of anything other than this horrible taste. Really surprised how quickly it stops after I put it down though. After a few minutes is nearly tolerable. not enjoyable, but I'm not going to complain for small blessings!
I just hit an extraordinarily loose spot. It went out. I (sigh) relit. I gagged. Really.
It's burning SO fast! The taste in the throat and sinuses is just incredible. As in if I told you how bad this is, I would have no credibility. This thing is so acrid!!!
There's a feeling in my mouth like I just tested a nine volt. into the 3/3.
My dentist says he can't (won't, pussy) administer novacaine for QUOTE "no reason". I hate this cigar. So it's going down.
This goes out to @BWhite
The band isn't burning...

Mouth, throat, sinuses tingling like spider sense (or lack thereof). Super loose draw. Won't stay lit.

Chillin' moose... That sounds like some lounge in Alberta or something. LolThat would be a chillin moose. I have smoked a couple, not bad at all.

Yep ! Made by Foundry. Unique blend really an interesting mix.That would be a chillin moose. I have smoked a couple, not bad at all.
I love the Chillin Moose and the Chillin Moose Too. For the price they're super solid cigars that aren't just one note pony's (YMMV)Chillin' moose... That sounds like some lounge in Alberta or something. Lol
Not gonna lie, if i found a bar called the chillin moose while visiting the great north, i would have to make a stop.Chillin' moose... That sounds like some lounge in Alberta or something. Lol
OK so my Dog Rocket Challenges will be as follows ! Although I got the 4 star flaming pukeshitz at the beginning of this pass with one of @Glassman 's toxic rockets, I will face the challenge and dive in for more. My turn to pay the devil !
E6 you say? Got ya marked down!OK so my Dog Rocket Challenges will be as follows ! Although I got the 4 star flaming pukeshitz at the beginning of this pass with one of @Glassman 's toxic rockets, I will face the challenge and dive in for more. My turn to pay the devil !
I saw Opies Super Dog Rocket Bag .... He's got like three A-CROP ( code name : O-CRAP ) in there. But @Avvatar already gave one of those a whirl, with stellar results.
So I grabbed one of the others in Opie's Super Dog Rocket Bag . I decided to see how bad his Pinor Del Rio (code name: Senior Diarrhea ) will be.
Probably going to be a little tough.
BTW if anyone else want to join the ranks of me and Avvatar, there's still a couple of these Diarrheas bundled with the O-Craps.
I can't believe we're having this conversation.
BLACK PEARL ( code name: BLACK HURL ) This was in another Doggy Rocket Double-Baggie. Apparently named after Johnny Depp's sunken ship of the damnned.
This is really going to be something.
@EO80 's Dog Rocket Challenge stick E6 , code name: ( eew ! sucks ! ) compliments of @EO80 .
I've even selected some excellent pairings !

[EDIT]
I didn't take a picture, .... because I didn't initially take this,..... but here's a stock photo of a Macanudo Portofino. I like the regular Connecticut Macanudo. But this green tube thing was in a bag and it smells like Vic's Vapo Rub. I don't know who put them in there but there's two with some quite strange Churchills. I think I'll pull this thing and give it a try during the DRP V-herf Finale Extravaganza !

Take n pulls follow up tomorrow. I think I can get this shipped out Saturday.
That's likely going to happen this weekend. Maybe it'll be a golden poop?E6 you say? Got ya marked down!
