  • 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.

Stick:
Tatuaje La Riqueza No. 5 (52x4 3/8)

Price: $9.00 usd
Drink of choice: Water

Construction:
10/10
Beautiful. Good weight for its small size. No veins. Cut easily. Could not find a single flaw anywhere.

Burn: 10/10
Razor sharp, required no touch ups.

Draw: 10/10
Perfect from start to finish. Also should note, this thing produced a TON of smoke.

Ash:
Light gray, got progressively darker as the stick burned on. Fell off at about the halfway point

Body:
Medium.

Flavors:
The flavors were very consistent in this stick. Lots of rich tobacco, coffee, and some roasted nuts. Tons of spice, but not overwhelming in the least.
The second third... the spice backed off some and a creamy taste and feel came through.
Final third... Spice is back accompanied with a hot-chocolate type flavor. Yummm.

Worth the money?: In my opinion, yes. I LOVED this smoke. I intend on hunting down more of these asap.
Would I recommend it?: Yes. But, you may prefer the larger sizes available. I prefer smaller sticks in general thanks to smoking in the cold, and accompanied only with my iPod or a book.

Total smoking time: Roughly 50 minutes.

Thanks for reading!



This one was for you Dottie!

I have had this cigar out of my humi twice now and didnt get it burned.
Maybe that will change today? Not sure because it is frigid out, but maybe!
