  • 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.

To borrow from Wade...DAMNIT!

I've been looking to forward to coming home after work and trying my first Pinar del Rio (an Oscuro robusto) all day! I get home cut it with my Palio, set it to flame and the first couple puffs tasted pretty good from what I remember. Unfortunately it took a serious dive south that it never recovered from before having to pitch it within the first third. I got blasted with a bitter, ammonia-like taste on the tongue. I looked for tunnels, but I couldn't see one (which doesn't mean it wasn't there I guess). I did notice that it wasn't producing much smoke either - after drawing on it, there was little to no smoke coming off the cigar. And now I don't have time for another before having to head out again. DAMNIT!

Seemed like it had potential right away.......

I just had a horrible Du Roi the other day, now I'm smoking one from the same box that is terrific. Goes like that in every box. The next one will be great I'm sure.

Sorry to here that your first PDR was not a great one. As you know this is a hand made product and we have a high QA proses in my factory. If one badly made cigar gets thought i take it personally. I apologize for this and please send PM me your address so i can make it up to you with some smokes for you to try.
Thanks Abe

Wow. Thanks Abe for that offer. And for the record I want to make sure it didn't sound like a rant against PDR cigars...it certainly was not intended that way. In fact, I've heard/read such good things about PDR, that I was looking forward to that after-work cigar a little more than usual today! Very impressive move indeed...

DAMNIT, what great BOTL!
