  • 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.

The wrapper has a nice light chocolate color to it with a couple veins running through it but nothing to obtrusive. The prelight draw is nice with minimum resistance.

The first quarter inch I was hit with a strong spice and cocoa flavor. It had a nice kick to it but wasn't over powering. I feel the cigar transitioned significantly after the first inch. The spice died down quite a bit and a woody flavor started to come out into the mix along with the cocoa.

The second third mellowed out a lot and a earthy flavor came into the mix. I would say at this point it is mostly a woody and earthy flavor with small hints of cocoa and a slight sweetness I can't quite put my finger on. I am also getting some spice here and there sporadically.

The last third is staying pretty consistent with the second but the spice has kicked up just a tad and the sweetness has come through a little more. The sweetness seems to be maybe a little fruity. I still can't quite figure it out.

Final Thought- I really would be happy if I paid more for this smoke but it is really a fair priced smoke. The cigar is very complex and is a medium to medium/full body in my opinion. Its definitely worth a try in my book.

Interesting! Thanks for the review. Being a fan of this blend I have smoked a lot, the one difference I have noted is the last third. The originals had this creamy, cedar spice/sweetness thing going on. Any creaminess that you noted? Personally my fav part of the original.
