  • 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.

Trying to relax after the largest earthquake in Japanese history, so I went outside for a quick smoke. I'm sure most of you have smoked the Oliva Serie G Special G.

3 3/4 x 48 Maduro, Nicaraguan, medium-full body. Nice almost seemless construction, cool little perfecto shape, clean double cap.


As with alot of figurado's, the first cut/draw was a little tight so I had to make an additional cut. Draw after that was perfect, and the burn was decent and corrected itself nicely. Nice tobacco flavor, pepper on the first 1/3....short on the finish (no surprise from Serie G) and a little flat on the back.


Halfway more of the same, good amount of smoke and the flavors are very predictable and tasty for a small stick. Barn, Coffee, Earth.


Final third was nice and smooth, and you would be hard pressed to find a better smoke for under 3 bucks. Total smoke time was about 30 minutes.


Me and the fam are safe and glad to be living on base at NAF Atsugi :skew:

One of the Reactors NE of Tokyo is having problems cooling.....they have already evacuated people in the region! I feel like I'm in an episode of Twilight Zone!

Great review! Nice to hear a fellow brother is safe? Keep us updated on the happenings over there if you could. It'd be nice to have a firsthand source of our own. Thanks!
