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.

Yes, but continuing to hope against hope especially after pete's comments to keep an eye out for his saints and sinners program in response to Brooks' post on the Noelia reserva OR. Perhaps if enough of us mention In this thread that the best way to honor Paul and to keep his memory alive is to keep this extraordinary blend, perhaps renamed after him and released annually as a special anniversary tribute. Just sayin' ... :innocent:I agree this is a legendary stick. However this cigar was made in memory of a tatuaje rep that passed away and I'm pretty sure Pete has said the SW will never be made again.
....not a bad idea.

If this was your first, this statement doesn't make sense to me.Finally got to smoke one of these legendary sticks and I've got to say I can definitely see why Brooks is such a great fan. Couldn't put it down and really enjoyed the aroma and flavors throughout. I think time has tamed the initial spice kick. Very smooth and nuanced in flavor but it definitely bites back towards the nub. That aroma of slightly burnt, spicy, sweet Spanish chocolate & espresso is totally captivating! Surprisingly less of a nicotine kick than I expected. Really hope that Pete brings this one back.

I hear ya, but since he mentioned Brooks' review, he's probably just going off of the review talking about the spice. I'm sure he just never got the spice kicks like Brooks said in his review and came to the conclusion that time mellowed it out. Makes sense to me, but I understand why you wouldn't think so.If this was your first, this statement doesn't make sense to me.
Ah, that makes sense then.I hear ya, but since he mentioned Brooks' review, he's probably just going off of the review talking about the spice.
