  • 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.

I had the Gran Habano Vintage 02 gifted from Jenady the other day which I thought was pretty good, especially for a reasonably priced cigar. Have you had these yet? Then again who am I talking too, you've probably tried everything. Goes to show how everyone's taste buds are different

The worst for me was the Macanudo Cafe (Green label). I could hardly stomach it and had to put it out after about a quarter into it, which is hard because I will generally finish a cigar and attempt to find something good in it. A close second is the Acid Earthiness. The combination of aromatic smoke, herbal taste in my mouth, and the herbal sweetness of the wrapper made me almost vomit.
Yes I have, I may be biased now though I didn't like them before I had a bad experience with the company rep LOL. It is funny a few posts below I got a EP Carillo from the Same brother Jenedy and love them. But a brother just below hates them. Go figure and like I said I even hear people hating opus so I think it's all just what we like.

I am lucky in I have several friends Ron and Jim are a couple who tend to have similar tastes.

I agree with the cafes I didn't like them though some macs I do like for a nice mild taste.


It would be boring if we all liked the same thing and the lines would get way long LOL :razz:

Those are two gentlemen that are great friends to have! Ron has been putting up a lot of reviews lately of some cigars most BOTL on here will never have a chance to taste, much less get a glance of. Who am I kidding, between the 3 of you guys, there probably isn't a cigar that is out there that hasn't been smoked. You guys have been at this for a long time, are some of the most generous BOTL on the boards, and deserve every puff that comes from the cigars you have smoked.

Thanks for the kinds words, Ron Taught me a lot and he and Jim are good friends, I hope they feel the same but they are like family to me there isn't anything I wouldn't do for them!

Ron is the single most generous person on the board I have ever seen and Jim is catching up fast.

It's great to find a person who likes similar things cuts out on a lot of loss trying to buy stuff and not liking it, it takes that situation out of the equation.

Smoke on People. :applause:

Worst I've ever had was an RP R4....tasted like I was sucking on a penny. Fell for the CI marketing when I was a rookie. Proceeded to try another (maybe it was a bad stick) but same result. Tossed the entire bundle.

I had a pretty horrible Gran Habano also. I think it was the 2002

I wasnt a big fan of the R4 either. I certainly didnt get any penny flavor, but it wasnt all that great.
