  • 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.

My Uzi Weighs A Ton - Bait Fish 4x44






For size references: paired next to a T52 Toro




The Bait Fish is that perfect size for the cold months. Big enough to give you 45 minutes of enjoyment, and small enough to get you out of the cold and into your house before you freeze to death. When I first picked up the Bait Fish, I felt like Eddie Murphy in Harlem Nights when he picks up the little gun and says, "Oh, look how cute..."


Right into it, the Bait Fish's construction is superb. It has a small amount of give when squeezed, but overall feels solid. The wrapper is dark... very dark, with a slight sheen. The smell it gives off is like a sweet hay.

The first few puffs is all chocolate and leather, with no spice. It continues this way until about an inch, then there's a small amount of spice in the background. The strength is very much medium, and never went into full.






A little further in and something wonderful happened: the Bait Fish got incredibly sweet. It was as if someone dumped sugar onto the leaves. Delicious flavors of sweet tobacco, chocolate, leather, and a pinch of spice in the background rounded out the cigar to the nub.


The first inch of the Bait Fish had me worried. I was thinking to myself, "Eh, average smoke." It wasn't until I continued on that the cigar really took off and surprised me. I think I found my new favorite, quick smoke. I'll definitely be stocking up on these for the winter.

I've enjoyed three of these since they arrived from NHC last week and BB has described the taste of the smoke perfectly. Well done!
The key thing about them is the increase in both power and the fullness of flavor between the first and last thirds of the smoke. They are tasty li'l tidbits.

Nice review :) 45 mins is about all I can stand outside for this time of year...lol

What's the retail on these babies?
I got them online for $135 for 25 in a promo deal with other smokes and a swell JDN hat thrown in. I thought the price steep, but the smokes are exceptional. You get what you pay for in my experience, and at least I have this swell hat.

Great review and pics! I love this cigar!! I've gone through my first 2 five-packs and ordered 10 more sticks this week.
Perfect little smoke.

Nice little guppies these are! This is my new "go to" quickie (for this month, anyway):)

Toss some of these in the tray along with some Tat Petites, a few Firecrackers, Illusione 68's, and a handful of LFD Chiselito maddies, and your in good company with the lil' fellas..
