  • 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've had a brother offer to send me one to try, so I'm gonna get a chance to scratch this itch with an Anejo very soon. Depending on how much I like it I may end up in trouble wanting more or having to try them all. Crazy how a size and shape can reel me in so strongly. I think it beats at the heart of why I smoke cigars. It's one of the most selfish thing I do in my life and I allow myslef to be as hopeful and obsesive as a kid at Christmas about it.
Didn't I send you one, I was sure I sent an Anejo and I thought it was a Shark. If not let me know I will see what I have left.

Dam, you did and I didn't catch it. I thought it was a #55 when I got it. I thought it was strange not to have the cedar. Wow, looking at one, the shape is not a pronounced as I expected, I thought they went to a rectangle and looked more like a taper from the top. They are very round to square as stated in many places.

Here is a pic for those curious.

How did you miss that Mitch? It's the only cigar I've ever seen shaped like that. Like you I had an itch that I needed to scratch too after hearing about these for so long. I ended up buying four of them from a brother here. I'll probably smoke one to mark my 25th birthday. We'll have to compare experiences.
