  • 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.

It's been a long time since i've posted a review, but I just have to share my experience with you guys! ;)

Cigar: Tat Verocu No. 5
Size: 4x40
Made in: Nicaragua
Beverage: Brazilian Coffee

1st Half:

I cut the cigar w/ my perfect cutter and lit it with my Xikar Havana Lighter.
The cigar started out very full body in the first 1/8 inch! It was very peppery,
and I also tasted flavors of cedar, and rich tobacco. I read all the time that this
is a flavorful medium bodied cigar, but i'm wondering if Pete wasn't trying
to mimic Dion's ultra as strong as this is.

I put the cigar down to have a drink of my coffee. The cigar was producing
a good amount of smoke, and never died out! Only 3 quarters of an inch in,
the transition is very noticeable. When I picked it back up, The pepper was
completely gone.

2nd Half

Replacing its traditional Pepin start, this cigar segued into a very enjoyable
medium body, full flavored experience. Flavors of rich tobacco, are melding
with a brown sugary sweetness and cream! Cedar kept dancing in and out as
well. These flavors stayed consistent to the end.

It's been a while since i've had one of these, but I will most definitely be back
to revisit them soon! This box was purchased in January and the box code is Sep '11.

@Justin I haven't brotha, but what I fell in love with (and I'm sad i didn't buy more of) were the
ELO 6's! they were from the original blend of Verocu No. 9, (just a slightly smaller RG).
