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.
Surprisingly good cigars?

Famous Nicaraguan Sungrown Torpedo. OMG are they ever good!!! Also Helix maduro (yes, Helix) because even OTT they are naturally sweet and full of delicious flavor. I had a Padilla 68 tonight that was very, very good. Totally unexpected from all three.
(noob warning) ...I had a 5 Vegas Relic and wasn't sure what to make of it...figured I would try again later...I found consistently bad reviews, but bought a cheap 5 pack anyway because the detail of the reviews didn't seem to match my experience. I tried a few more and decided I liked them...not because they are "sophisticated, complex and delicious" but because they are rough, unrefined and remind me of something a gun slingin' wild west hero might smoke, and sometimes that's good for contrast, especially after BBQ 
I have another 5 Vegas that apparently won a 90+ rating and it will be interesting to see how it compares after a bit of rest in the humi...
I was also quite pleasantly surprised by the Cain Maduro and also agree with earlier poster that the JFR was surprisingly good.

Good looking stick - I have one resting and look forward to lighting it up soon.
La Aurora 107. I've been smoking a lot of these lately. Just had one tonight and every time I smoke one I'm wowed by it. So far the corona is my favorite vitola.
Also enjoying the EPC Short Run robusto a lot.

I wasn't surprised by this. He did a limited release before he sent it out to all his shops. I have been enjoying that line for a while. This reminds me to break out one of my belicosos to smoke.

That origen Originale has this milky taste to it that i've never experienced
in a cigar on the predraw... Amazing!

I"m going to have to try that 107 sometime, sounds awesome!
5 vegas gold, considering how cheap it is and not very complex, was surprisingly good.

I got an awesome sound...
Perdomo Slow Aged. Got a 5-er off cbid for $9, and for a $2 stick they were pretty tasty. Great golfing smoke.
