  • 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 had one yesterday and I it was real good. It had classic flavor with more strength than usual
Probably going to buy a box. The draw , flavor and burn were all good. Has anybody tried these yet?

I purchased a box dated July 2012. I have had the box for about 5 months. I have tried two. One after 3 months in my humi and the other only a couple weeks ago. I found both to be a bit flat in the flavor profiles. I don't expect I will try another for at least 6 months. I think the box needs at least another year. I've heard too many good reviews on the PD4 to get impatient and waste my box.

I have a box from '09 that are some of my favorite sticks. I actually like them more than the CoRo

The longer you wait the harder it will be.better to try now while there may be some in stock.that way you may have a larger choice of marcas.By Nov.it could be too late.........

QUOTE I've said it before and I'll say it again. Feb 13 is going to be one of the most memorable box codes around...

apparently he has gotten some good smokes from that month.I have some from Jan,Mar,May of '13 that are excellent as well.
I think that the last 3 years of Cuban sticks have been above average in quality and very smokable while still young.
Some of my '08 s are still not showing well,a few '09s are coming in,but all of my '10,'11 and '12 stuff is really good.Interestingly,all of the other cigar producing countries have stated they have had record years for quality and quantity in these same years.
