  • 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.

Cigar: San Cristobal Monumento (7.2 x 49)

Cost: $10.75

Drink: Coca-Cola (the best cola)

Appearance: This has a dark corojo wrapper on it. There were a couple small veins showing. The wrapper was flawless. I absolutely love the band on it. The appearance gets a 10/10 .



Taste of the cigar: This cigar is very, very complex. I picked up many different flavors. I picked up on a coffee taste, woodsy taste, cocoa, and a slight bit of spice. I remember the robusto size being much spicier, but this churchill is very well balanced. It is a very rich cigar.

Construction: Held an long ash. The draw was perfect. The cigar required only a few small touchups, but I blame this on the wind.



My smoking buddy Henry enjoying the cigar as well:









Strength: This was a medium-full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar was very, very good. I nubbed it. They are a little pricey to be an every day cigar, but I could see myself picking up a 5'er here and there. I give it a 9/10.

Thanks for the review bro! I'll have to grab a couple of these when I go to the b&m this week.

I just finished one of those! I think it was a toro. I found the same flavors and would compare it to a cross between a Tatuaje cojonu and a pepin black. The best flavors of both of course!
