  • 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 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.

I'm smoking probably my tenth one now and... It's a huge disappointment. I've come to know these as a perfect draw, tons of smoke and flavor. I think this one might be plugged cause I'm getting eye aches puffing so damn hard. Virtually no taste, minior smoke... Just a huge bummer. I'm hanging in until I hit the firmest area... But I'm doubtful. :argh:

Damn man that sucks, all that I've smoked were like chimneys. Might have been plugged like you say.

I'll start off by saying I am a Drew Estate junkie. My humidor is full of FFP, Undercrowns, T-52's, Papas Fritas...hell I even have a DE hat, shirt and ash tray to boot! I bought one of the new Nica Rustica with the mindset that I was going to buy a box after I smoked one and loved it. I must say, it lacked complexity and was somewhat boring.

Is it possible that I didn't let it settle long enough in the humidor or had a bad one, or has anyone else had the same experience with them??
I enjoyed the one i had, but didn't find it anything more than slightly above average. Good for price point, enjoyed it, but nothing overwhelming. Would smoke again but probably wouldn't buy it when other options are around.

Heck, i rarely smoke the same cigar twice anyways so who am i kidding lol
