  • 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.

Got my box of PDR BOTL small batch from Tim at The Burning Leaf today!

That is...it arrived in the mail today. But I do sometime want to go on a pilgrimage there!!

Great sticks, but most of all, incredible service from Tim. He's a great, great guy!

A Bundle (of 25) of Casa Fuente Lanceros...once a thing of myth, they can be purchased now, but it (the bundle, that is) is not something you can just walk in and buy (usually, there is a 2 stick max)...



A photograph of one of the waitresses holding the infamous bundle...



And the final number, after "getting rid" of a few...



Next is a cigar I have been looking for for a while, the My Father Special Edition...This is Pepin's version of an event cigar, (i.e. handed out only at events), and is supposedly based on the "El Centurion" blend (which makes sense, looking at the similarities in the bands)...I have actually heard almost nothing about these, but can't wait to review it...



Last but not least are some cigars that I know practically nothing about...I got the first ones (one of each label) about 6 months ago, but did not review them, due to not having any info at all...Then, a good friend found more vitolas (quite a few more, actually) while on a cigar tour in the DR, and brought some back for me...They are Kelner labeled cigars (one is labeled "Master Kelner" while the other is simply labeled "Kelner") and there seem to be a mix of lighter and darker wrappers, along with different vitolas...The sparse info that I have been able to gather is that these are only sold at the Davidoff Factory store in the DR, and that is about it...If anyone has any other info on them, PLEASE get in touch with me, as I can't review a cigar that I can't give any background info on :)
