  • 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.

I saw the boxes for these apparently new Rocky Patel lines at my local B&M. Up until yesterday I wasn't even aware of these sticks. Has anyone tried or heard anything about them?

There are four sizes, the Robusto, Toro, Churchill, and Salomon. The Churchill is a 7x50 and the Salomon is a 7 1/8 x 58. The SRP for the sizes, smallest to largest are $6.50, $7.80, $7.80, and $9.00. Obviously depending on the shop, some decide to charge more.
My buddy and I, both long time smokers sat and had the Toro the other day. We both agreed that the smoke was pretty decent, though much milder than it's marketed to be. It has a unique taste we couldn't put our finger on though, almost like a spicy hint that reminds you of pumpkin pie but stays consistent throughout. RP did a good job of making this taste like an Autumn smoke, I can't even say I've ever had anything like it. This one wasn't bad, but I thought the Summer Collection was poorly blended.
