  • 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.

First, I want to thank all the BOTL who encouraged me not to sit on this smoke and SMOKE it!

I got this in a great bomb from Chazz Hollywood!. Thanks, bro! :thumbsup:
I am proud to say he was my first BOMB victim and he obviously knows how to respond with heavy artillery.

It is pretty cool just looking at this stick and that it's a box-press Tat.





Lets spark up, shall we?



Really smooth rather than that blast of pepper and spice. Don't get me wrong, it's there, just in more of a refined way.



Not only is this thing burning pretty and well constructed, the flavors are awesome. I am getting rich cocoa, spice and earth that is just smooth as smooth can be. This is a cigar you enjoy by letting the smoke out slowly and letting the flavors linger. Great body.



Flavors are in full force at this point and I am getting the darkest of chocolate and pepper that is just a joy, as is the complexity of this smoke.

Did I enjoy this stick? The litmus test for me is feeling that I don't want it to end and I think the last pic speaks to how I feel about the Cuadrado. :thumbsup:



This was a big smoke that lasted a good 55 minutes. Never got harsh and was a pleasure from beginning to end!

I've let most of my box sit since it was purchased. Sounds like it's about time to see what the aging process has done to this one.

Nice review. Where do you get these?
These can't be purchased any longer, as they're long gone (unless you buy private party)....

They were a one time release for one particular shop, a la the Tat T110.

I've smoked a few now....

They were good...but all it is, is a box pressed Noella, and nothing more.

Is it good? Yes. Is it anywhere close to what the T110 is/was? Not even close.

a great cigar indeed. I thought they were a bit over priced when I bought my box last year. They are long gone now from my stash.

I've yet to smoke a Quadrado, but I think I have 1 or 2 tucked away with my Reservas.

Honestly, I love the regular Noella so much that I'm pretty content with that :)

Thanks everybody, especially Starz26. Love sharing great smoking experiences being a newb and giving something back to those that have shaped my experience. :)

Great review. Im starting not to like this place! So many cigars that I want to try, so many cigars I may not have a chance to try! Boo hoo! Keep the reviews up, they are GREAT!
