  • 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.

Country of Origin: Nicaragua

1st 1/3
Semi sweet chocolate, coffee, leather, lots of flavor, emmm yummy stick so far, makes me smile

Great draw, lot of waterfall smoke rolling off, creamy finish

Interesting that the spice note is in the background and cuts down on the complexity of the cigar but that's not stopping me from having a very relaxed smoke, a great example of this type of cigar: chocolate, coffee, etc.

2nd 1/3
Nice straight burn, needing no touch-ups
Considered full body but I would take it down a notch to medium range.
Semi-sweet cocoa and coffee and cocoa aroma continue in a creamy fashion

Final 1/3
Looking for a desert cigar after dinner? this would do a hansom job, no bitter after taste, just dominate creamy chocolate, coffee notes.

I think everyone would enjoy this stick, although the veteran consumer would want more complexity but for a switch-up this one fits the bill.

This cigar would be perfect in a "cigar 101 class" showing when spice and pepper are absent how the dimension of the cigar is limited.

If spice and pepper where put into this stick it would defeat the purpose of it's architecture.
Although I hate pepper bomb cigars I'm beginning to understand its purpose better and my personal evolution of taste but a super nice cigar.
Smoke time: 1 hr 20 min
Score 8.5 out of 10
