  • 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 have often been asked about the smoke times on my reviews, and recently someone commented on the burn lines. i'm not sure what he was seeing,but i thought it would be fun and educational to time my smoke.
i picked the tatuaje noble because i figured everyone had one,or had at least smoked one before.

let's get started...

firm feel,smells of spicy cocoa and tobacco


scissors to cut,a soft flame lighter to light and we're on the clock with light spicy creamy cocoa and cedary tasting tobacco


nice and smooth. very easy draw,decent burn and lot's of smoke.
a little peppery with a cocoa coffee flavor and cedary tobacco taste that's a little creamy right now


about halfway with no changes in flavors.
i've smoked a bunch of these and could do a review from memory,so i'm mostly concentrating on the time. it usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour to smoke one,puffing about twice a minute.
on cigars with tight draws,i tend to puff more often,trying to get smoke from them.
with easy drawing ample smoke cigars,a puff every couple of minutes.
with kick your butt cigars,i get to daydreaming sometimes and only puff every 3 or 4 minutes if it's burning good


3/4 with more peppery spiciness,coffee instead of cocoa,a bit of slick leather with the tobacco flavor now.
these are definitely one of my favorite tats!
another thing i have noticed is that i tend to puff more often when i am smoking a new cigar,trying to pick out the flavors,than i do with my regular cigars that i know well


last couple of inches,the spice is kicking a bit,the leather is nice and creamy,coffee is lighter,cocoa is peeking back in and the tobacco has a sweet twang to it.
a very cool smoking cigar with no bite


nubbing it with happy thoughts. another great noble smoking experience!
finished with the same great draw and burn that it had the entire time.
spicy and creamy with excellent tobacco flavors.


so there you have it.
my smoke time was about 50 minutes.
too fast? too slow? i don't know. i do know that i enjoyed the cigar.
different people have different smoking styes. i smoke at my own pace as i'm sure you do to.
your smoking time may vary,but as long as you're enjoying the cigar, i reckon you're doing fine.

i hope this review helps with your smoking time questions.

I seem to ALWAYS like your reviews Ron, thanks again. But ain't 'Zilla got no watch to do her/his part? ( I not sure what 'Zilla is after Matthew Broderick found out it's a hermaphrodite)

Nice review as always, Ron! I like including smoking time in the reviews, just for a reference, even though it's relative.
