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 the next few weekends 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.

BDL Madero. Posted up in the review section. It's pretty gosh darn great. 
This mild February weather has just been too nice to pass up. Three good cigars this week
Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Sendero (6x56) - Admittedly I’m a huge fan of the brand, but it’s hard to go wrong with a Plasencia. This Alma Del Campo may not have the rich depth of flavor of an Alma Fuerte (my favorite cigar), but its smooth creaminess and voluminous smoke make it a winner for my palate.
Crowned Heads Las Calaveras LE50 2023 (5x50) - Excellent cigar. Great burn and draw with lots of silky smoke. Medium body with great flavor. Leather, coffee, a little spice and an underlying, subtle sweetness that contributed to a very well balanced flavor profile. Flavor consistent from beginning to end. Definitely worth a repurchase.
West Tampa White Toro (6x52) - Nice medium body and medium (at most) strength cigar. Smooth creamy experience with some sweetness, leather and no harshness. A little more resistance on the draw that I prefer, but not so much that a draw tool was needed. Just an overall pleasant smoking experience and at just under $8 apiece well worth the price.

LOL, nice cigar stunt. You can't pin this one on me and I hope it hasn't ruined your taste buds for the next few days. You should have paired that with an ice-cold Bud Light to smooth out the flavor.

Very close, but I paired it with an ice cold Natural Light. Nothing more refreshing.
I got subtle nuances of Play-Dough in the Backwoods. A scent I haven't experienced since I was a wee lad.
Ashton ESG very good so far thank you @BootyGrocery nice cigar man!
My favorite bundle smoke. Just feel like they smoke better than a bundle cogar

The Padrón Hermoso probably did come from me. I’m the only one I know who smokes ‘em. But yeah, Party Short is gonna beat it any day!
