  • 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.

Prelight:
Two prominent veins - seems to be common on these
I was so ready for this smoke i forgot to sniff the wrapper

First third:
Initial light pelted me with strong pepper with nothing else distinguishable for the next 2 puffs.
A strong leather emerges to compete with the pepper.

2nd:
Starting the second third the pepper is barely noticable on the retrohale. The main flavors have turned to what i would call coffee and a floral sweetness.
I've got a strong tingle in the back of my throat.
Last third:
last third continues as before, but i'm not complaining. It ended up getting too hot to smoke at about this point


These are already aging quite well. I had a fresh one a few weeks back that was alot stronger and not quite as complex. Going to save my last two from when they were released to see how they smoke in another 6 months and a year from now. They are worth every bit of $6 and are a steal when you get them on CI's Jam for $3.75

Thank you for taking the time to post... I agree with Dan, great grill shot. You're making me hungry.
