  • 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.

Great review!

I have always gotten a STRONG mint note from the Boris...interestingly, the note was more pronounced in the "Pete's Blend" Boris then the Reg release...

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I didn't notice it on the first couple I've had, but I've gotten this mint note (frequently) on the recent ones I've burned. Very unusual, but very good! Some have said that most Tatuajes are like Partagas (if you have to pic a Cuban marca to compare them to). If so, than the Boris is like a Cohiba. Still one of Pete's best ever, imvho.

And I've got to take this opportunity to plug the Drac as well. These are smoking just fantastically right now, boys! Like smoking fresh ground cocoa.

Thanks for reading fellas. Now I just have to get my hands on some more of these. As much as I have enjoyed a lot of the Tatuaje stuff on the market, most of it is great, but this is the first one that has had a flavor profile that really fits for me. Everything else is either too dark, too dirty, too spicy or whatever. This one though... The Boris has that refined subtlety I want.
Yeah but it seems finding them will be the hard part lol.

Just finished my first one, and it was awesome! You guys werent kidding about the mint.

Unfortunately, I only have 2 more left :sadcry: I will hold off on smoking the others for at least a year in between each.

interesting Nate, a good choice of words to describe....

Very good review, this is a very refined smoke indeed.

The Boris is my favorite Tatuaje smoke, I would love to have these on hand at all times, alas, I smoked my last one a month ago as my Birthday cigar.


:thumbsup:

Now I'm going to have to light one of these up soon as well, lol. Oh well, peer pressure works out okay sometimes :)

These are all the rave! I hope to get my hands on a few one of these days. How do the Boris's compare against the Franks?
