  • 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.

Are there any B&M's or online vendors that have some now or are they waiting to be shipped? I would love to get some to try. Loving that Broadleaf wrapper right now!

Not to be too anal about it (OK, so maybe I am) but of all the people to mispell Cojonu, I would have thought Angry Bill would get it right. (Better triple check my spelling on this post). Or is there a story behind this spelling?
According to vitolas:

"Cojonu" is slang that essentially means "ball buster" in Spanish, depending on the locale.

Best way to remember how to spell Cojonu is simply thinking on how ye spell the word it comes from. Cojonu comes from cojonudo; ergo "ballsy". Why? Because it means: to have cojones. And that's a pretty popular word.

Cojones , interesting names of a cigar. I always mix these things up when I go to my B&M. I just look at labels and remember which ones I like. I would be up shit creek if they just had names.

I was wondering that too?

Cojonudo is 'Ballsy', Cojones is 'Balls', than is Cojonu singular? 'Ball'??
Cojonu is slang.

It is my understanding that the name for the cigar was used for 3 reasons; (1.) That it is a bold, strong cigar (or having some balls), (2.) that it takes a decent set to smoke one and (3.) that you couldn't just put "big balls" as the name of the stick. :headroll:

I loved the NR and look forward to the Regios...

NR, Cohote, RR, SW R, Black tubos, Verocu Tubos, European El Tris, Monsters, 2009s, plus the regular lines... this is going to be an expensive year.

out there
that's what i wondered. if all reservas are using the conn broadleaf. i am assuming that to be the case. should be tasty no matter what.
The only reservas using the Broadleaf are the Regios and Noellas. The J21, SW and A are using Corojo, though different primings as I understand it.
