  • 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.

smoking a drac on halloween night

solid feel,spicy dark coffee and rich tobacco smell


scissors for the head,torch for the foot and a blast of pepper with coffee and stout tobacco for my taste buds


drawing great,burning good and smoking like it's on fire. oh,wait,it is...lol.
coffee, pepper and tobacco from the smoke. i get a taste of leather from the wrapper when i hold the cigar in my mouth


1/3 in and it's settled down to a nice kick you in the mouth cigar.
pepper is bold,coffee is rich,tobacco is earthy and leather tasting.
it's a totally different cigar from a year ago. i remember everybody,including me, was disappointed in them when they first came out.
my how our tune has changed...lol


it's a dark and scary halloween night,so i figured i'd better cowboy up for this one.
yeah,i know what your thinking...sunglasses at night? well,you know me...


1/2 way in and it's coming together nicely. perfect burn,exceptional draw,and lot's of tasty smoke.
the coffee and leather have gotten together and formed a creamy union.
peppery tobacco refuses to join and stand alone together.


3/4 and i'm having a good time!
pepper has toned down a little,tobacco has picked up a woodsy taste.
same great creamy coffee leather action


what's that noise!? something is moving through the trees,and is heading this way.
zilla!! that's not funny!
ok,it's a little funny...lol


last couple of inches and there ain't no stopping it.
pepper is kicking again,tobacco seems stronger,a little less woodsy tasting.
no change in the coffee leather flavor. same great burn and draw


nubbing it after a truly satisfying smoke.
finished a lot like it started with kicking pepper and rich coffee flavors.
i am so glad i didn't give up on these and i hope you didn't either


thanks for reading,hope you enjoyed the review!

Great review! The last Drac I had was a few months ago, and they seemed to be coming along. I plan to have on this week.

Can you add smoking times to your reviews? I always seem to notice an odd looking ash or burn line with your photos. I'm wondering if smoking speed contributes...

great review... good to hear these are coming into their own. I had a feeling these would improve.

Time for me to spark one up and see for myself.

i don't own a watch (don't really care what time it is) so i can only estimate the times. i usually take 2 or 3 puffs a minute depending on the draw of the cigar. the drac took 75-90 minutes...
