  • 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.

This 4 5/8×42 cigar features a dark brown satin wrapper with minimal veins, tight invisible seams, a nice triple cap and rich oily tobacco aroma. First light reveals a very tight draw but with good smoke production. Flavors are medium-full bodied giving a thick and chewy leather with an earthy pepper finish. The first third shows much the same flavors, dropping the body to a medium and the smoke is a bit less thick. Burn is excellent and the draw is still very tight. 30 minutes in at the 1/2 way point I clip it once again to try and open up the draw to no avail. It’s still very tight and quite difficult to draw and smoke, but it’s still putting off good smoke and flavors. Ending at 45 minutes the last bit showed no further changes. http://cigarobsession.com/2011/07/10/tatuaje-havana-vi-angeles-cigar-review/

I'm one of the few who doesn't particularly enjoy Tatuaje's for some reason. And these are just very hum-drum imo. I need to try some of the higher end sticks... The mid grade sticks I don't like, the mild ones are ok (which is strange for me, since I don't like mild anything) and I have yet to really try any of the upper tier sticks...

Don't feel like a weirdo, there aren't too many I enjoy either. Most of the sticks that have mythical status around here, I've found to be average at best. I really love the new 7th CE, though. But it's hard to do a CG wrong. And the black PL is stellar, too.

The only one that I've had that blew my socks off was the Anarchy, but I'm a lightweight and it was a bit too strong for me. Fantastic flavors though.

You should try the Brown labels...they're the shizniz.

I agree with Danthebugman. Try a brown label. My favorite is the Tianos...

Great video and editing. I've smokes a lot of red label as an everyday smoke, but not this size... but never had a tight draw with the other sizes... kaelaria, did you try more than one and had the same experience with the draw? Sounds like you had a lot of bad luck, Xikar lighter and draw issues...
