  • 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.

This is my first actual review on here, and like the douche I am I forgot to do the photo thing. I know I FAILED!

This is a cigar I was gifted quite a while ago, and I finally decided to give it a try.

Appearance: I think it looked like a cigar. I never pay much attention to how a cigar looks in depth. I know it was box pressed, but as far as veins, sheen, or aerodynamic drag...

I can't say I hated the cigar, but it seemed to lack any of the wow factor. It burned well, and had the expected DPG peppery flavor in the first half. From there it seemed to get rather boring. I smoked it to about an inch and a half left, and walked away. This is a limited release, and I am glad I didn't chase them, and get stuck with a whole box.

Yea, they are limited but not highly desirable in comparison to alot of other Tats. They were an exclusive for Holts Cigar. I got a few but haven't smoked any of them. I may have to form my own opinion this week and burn a few.

This might be the best review in the history of the world. I really didn't think it was possible to do a review without having a blog. Thanks for not mooching off BOTL like the rest.

I had this cigar and size prior to joining in the beginning of September. Made one of those irrational box purchases without actually trying the cigar... dumb move on my part... I "chased" it. Ended up handing them out to my B&M friends to try. I agree, there was some initial spice to the cigar, but had no complexity after the first third: It had a fairly consistent taste profile that didn't wow me. I ended up not finishing it also, half way through the stick....

Thank you for posting the review and sending me down memory lane... took a look at my notes. I need to attempt a cigar review myself.... need to figure out how to handle photos.
