  • 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.

This 60×6 Habano stick offers a satin toothy wrapper with small veins, tight seams and a nice triple cap with a sweet oily tobacco aroma. It has an excellent draw and very good burn, never needing attention and holding the as in 1/3 solid chunks. Body was medium, smoke output was very good, becoming richer as the burn progressed. Flavors had a bit of complexity bringing a soft earth, slight sweetness at the start and progressing to an oily light leather all the while showing a very smooth aged tobacco character. Transitions showed a more creamy texture, almonds, licorice and a nuttiness at the last 3rd. The whole stick showed a smoothness reminiscent of aged tobacco as all the flavors seamlessly moved from one to the next. Total burn time was 1:15 to the last inch.

I will have to give this stick a try. It is in my favorite size but the band always creeped me out, idk why, and so I haven't bought it yet but I guess I will just have to take it off before I smoke it.

Nice review. I've only had one Mi Barrio, but it was AWESOME! So dang good. Mine was very strong though, "full" in every sense of the word. I really want to get some more, but they are not easy to find, not in my price range anyway, lol.

LOL I know exactly what you mean! It reminds me of a video game, but I can't remember which...but when you view it in it's full context, it's all good: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30899393&id=1023493916

The line of 4 sizes commemorates 4 famous Cuban paintings (or something close to that), 1 featured on each box. It's the style of the band.
Thank-you for informing of that now I must say it seems to have lost some creepy factor after I did further research. I must say your photography is beautiful because you made even this band seem really cool.
