  • 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.

Size: 5 x 42
Wrapper: Indonesian Busuki Oscuro
Binder: Indonesian Busuki
Filler: Indonesian Busuki
Body: Medium-Full
Strength: Mild-Medium
Smoke Time: 1.25 Hours

Construction:
Superb! Very firm pack. Very toothy wrapper. Draw is perfect.

Pre-Light Aroma:
Heavy Manure and Leather off the wrapper. With some age these smells tame down a bit, but not the flavor! Mild hay can also be picked up off the foot.

First Third:
Super smooth from the first light. Smooth retrohale. Heavy Leather blasts you right away! As you keep smoking you get a nice coffee flavor that comes in to compliment the leather. Smoke isn't creamy, nor is it dry. Ash falls off into the lap at the end of the third. No need to babysit this cigar, as it stays lit with no problems.

Second Third:
No major changes to see here...sit back and keep enjoying that cigar!

Final Third:
A very small hint of sweetness works its way into the end of the final third. Still the same beautiful profile of leather and coffee. I nub this cigars to 1/8" every time I smoke them. I have pictures to prove it! They are that good!

Last Thoughts:
Delicious! Easily one of my favorite cigars, has been since the first one I had. Not easy to find, so if you are able to find some buy them without hesitation! Pairs so well with Coffee, Bourbon, Beer...Everything!

FYI...My VERY last one of these is in the 5 pack sampler gift being drawn for in the Christmas Giveaway!

Haven't had one in a while. Ron was a stand up guy. He was the master of bombing people. He was the first to bomb me years ago. Always so generous. Hope he's well.

Ron is an awesome guy. He is still semi active in a few places. He took bombing to a whole new level!

Hell of a blend he picked!

These are good, but I had some problems with damage due to a fairly thin wrapper last time I had them. Ron is definitely a top notch player.
That sucks.
I had a very tight draw on two of the cigars from my second box. They had sat for a while in the humidor so I ruled out humidity. Didn't have a draw tool, so I tried a Kabob stick, a hanger pretty much as many redneck duplicates I could try. I couldn't smoke them unfortunately. But...as a pipe smoker as well as cigar smoker, I just unrolled the cigar and have it stored with the rest of my pipe tobacco. I have yet to smoke it. May need to give that a shot.
