  • 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.

Tats and Illusione cigars

I have been dying to try these as I know many of you love them, but I havent had the chance to research too much about each. Im not sure what the good choice for me would be. I may just have to pick up some of both, but which do you guys prefer? and which line? Reason I ask is I really want to try them both and my B&M doesnt carry them too often so I have to stop in often to try to catch them. Thanks!

For the Illusiones I like the 88, 2, and mk (although i truly like all of them, those are most frequently smoked)

Tat Havana VI line, i like the Angeles the best.

Tat La Seleccion de Cazador, i like the noella, especiale, and the reserva j21

I would also highly recommend a guapo jr or rx from El cabaiguan

You can't go wrong with almost any Tat or Illusione cigar. I like the Illusione 888 best so far.

I would caution you about the Illusione 68. It has a finish that sticks forever.

Actually, you cant go wrong with any of the Tat's, Cabis or La Riquezas... NEw Havana is a great source too.. As is Silo or the Big Easy in Studio City..

And the Noellas and Especialles are great too!

What? No cg:4? (Though 888s are bloody tasty as well).

Try 'em all, mate! Ye won't regret it!

besides highly recommending ANY of the tatuajes, the Ilusione Holy Lance is phenomenal, the MK is a very close second when it comes to illusiones

Funny, I think it's the other way around for me. The MK is awesome...it has the profile of the Illusione, but it is completely different than any of the illusiones I have smoked. I really think that this is a rare cigar- one that just grooves from start to finish.

Just in case you missed it earlier...:rolling::applause::applause::applause:
If my B&M ever gets some singles I will have to try them. I dont want to go out and buy a whole lot or a sampler right now since I havent had any to try. So we'll see what I can get my hands on. Thanks for all the posts though!
