  • 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.

Newest addition to the Hummi

Box of Tatuaje Noelas
Box of DPG Black 1950 Toro

After buying these the shop owner threw in a few sticks he thought I would like....

601 Cubao No. 5
Illusione 4/2 G Churchill
601 GL Trabuco


I know about the Tat's and DPG I bought, but does anyone know about these others?

Wanted to give a thanks to Chuck, he told me about his place. www.pheasantcigars.com

Paul is a nice guy.

601s are DPG I believe. I have one lying around but haven't smoked one. Illusiones get a lot of love around here (and from Cigar Aficionado) and are supposedly "Cubanesque" as well. A bro here gifted me a couple of little ones, have yet to try them though.

BTW I'm jealous of your new additions :)

Yes, the 601s are a DPG cigar made in Esteli for United Tobaccos. Couple of guys named Eric Espinosa and Eddie Ortega with EO Brands appear to be ram-roding this outfit. All Nicaraguan, the Reds are Habano Natural, Blues are maduro and the Greens are Oscuro. I like these sticks but they can get a little pricey for what they are. JMO

dion makes the illusione. dan at nhc sells a lot of them. they aren't bad, but i like the cruzado better.
that noella is a great little stick. did anyone ever get to try the "reserva" noella that pete put out a while back? that was a powerhouse!

Is the Cubao a medium brown stick with a brown label? If so that is not the DPG. I had a Cubao at Cigar King in Scottsdale. Really nice stick, with chocolate notes.
