  • 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.

A buddy has entered the difficult world of being a cigar rep and picked up the line, Pedro Martin. Pedro, the family head is a familar story. Left Cuba as a boy. Developed the Tropical Tobacco in the 70's and ran it until his death in 2001. Word is that he hand a hand in helping Don Pepin along his way. Pedro's daughter suceeded him, worked for Camacho then left to create the line named after her father.

The gold is an Ecuadorian-Connecticut wrapped cigar with a Nicaraguan filler and binder. The cigar has a light brown wrapper, minimal veins and smooth to the touch and taste. The cigar seemed loosely filled but the draw was medium and when lit produced a pleasant amount of smoke without much trouble.

This is clearly a medium bodied cigar, a morning cigar for me but with plenty of flavor. Slightly sweet with floral notes. This is a cigar that I could smoke al day and not be overwhelmed by the nic. I enjoyed it with coffe in the morning.

I really enjoyed the Martin Family products. The Ruby and Triple Corojo are great full bodied smokes at a reasonable price. The lancero they released at the show was also very good. Tell your friend good luck and he got started with a good line!

I tried the ruby in the 6x60, it was good for the price but I really need to give it another go in a smaller RG. The flavors seemed somewhat muted.
