  • 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.

The Super Shot destroyed me

I normally can handle pretty full-bodied sticks, but this thing kicked my ass. About 45 min in I had to set it down. It was a delicious smoke, but it started turning my stomach inside out and felt like someone broke my nose.

Never again.

Only ever had 1 viaje and it was a skull and bones. Thought that was an ass kicker. Have a couple more resting for now. Never had any of the other ones, so I can't tell ya how they made me feel. But I can say a broken nose can't be fun, haha.

I love these things and have smoked about a 1/2 a box.

The first time I smoked the 10 it made me sit down LOL

Know joke

Full strength, great dark flavors, perfect construction

as someone who likes the volume turned to 11 frequently, a couple tips. if you know it will kill you, smoke it after a good meal. hydration is your friend. and a little sugar can help chase away vitamin N: i keep a small stash of ginger ale in the cave just in case. also, if you smoke while driving, know what you are burning beforehand! o)

and, yes, i have had a couple viaje push the boundary before. gifted skull and bones, different releases/vitolas. loved it!

I wrote a review about it here - link and yeah, it hit me pretty hard after eating a good dinner. I loved it. The only thing i didn't like was that it burned really hot...other than that, great stick!

I really like the Super Shots. They may overtake the S&B even (in terms of my affections, in terms of power they beat it hands down). But both still (barely) trail the Exclusivo as my favorite Viaje.
