  • 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.

I had the pleasure of meeting Antonio of Reinado Cigars at the BOTL IPCPR herf last thursday. He gifted me one of his new Grand Empire Reserves and I decided to light it up today.

Size: 5 x 55 Square Box Press
Nicaraguan Puro
Wrapper: Habano Maduro
Retail : $9.95

The cigar had great construction. Very nice, easy draw. Beautiful wrapper as well.

The cigar opened up with a decent amount of spice. The overall profile of this cigar was cedar, cocoa, hints of coffee and a lingering vanilla flavor on the palate. It paired great with a cup of coffee and was medium-full in body. It never got bitter or harsh, but had some great spice throughout. The pepper through the nose was excellent and left me with a tingling sensation. It reminded me most of an Oliva V maduro, but a little more milder in strength. Overall it was an excellent cigar and well worth my time. I would definitely recommend anyone giving this cigar a try. It was my first maduro in a few months and I forgot how much I enjoy them.

Great stuff, Antonio. Can't wait to try the rest of your line (just ordered some Habanitos).

Antonio is actually a member of the BOTL and a great guy. You can check on his website for distributors. I only know of one place to find them online.

Thanks for the complimentary review of the Grand Empire Reserve vivalanation734... It has been a project I have been working on for awhile now. To answer the question of when it will be available, you can start looking for them officially by the first week of September as I plan to ship at the end of this month providing all goes according to plan. Really want to thank all the BOTL members and friends who are supporting the brand... means a lot to me. It was great meeting a lot of the members at Stogies in Orlando. There are other sizes being worked on in the reserve line...look for more info in the next couple of months...Long Ashes everyone!
