  • 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.

OMG....a suggestion from another person said I should try a Jose Piedre Brevas..... I had tried the Cazadore, but absolutely hated it...

I said I'd give it a try...man oh man..... had one "gifted" to me (if you could say that)....

Wow what a disappointment....won't be doing that again REAL soon....

Had to light up a Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme just to get rid of the rancid taste in my mouth.....

Can't understand why people smoke these............Yeah money is one thing.... but taste is another completely different thing....

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :assaultri :riflefire :riflefire

I had the rancid taste problem tonite too. I had an NC earlier that wasn't bad but the lingering taste just wouldn't go away, even after brushing my teeth. I just had a Punch Mini so I can go to bed with some Cuban flavor.

Really, really enjoyed a 2001 Raphael Gonzalez PC on the way into work today.

This is another line that I have enjoyed every vitola I have tried.

Smoked a 98 VR Familiar that just arrived on Tuesday last night. Needs some more recovery time obviously but I could detect some pretty good flavors in there. :thumbsup:

Q D'O Imperiales and a glass of Linkwood.

QDO was tasty and a bit citric. Limited experience with these. Might need to investigate a little more.

So, what did you think? I had one on the way to work this week and it was very sweet and creamy.


I am in the middle of a '98 RyJ Ex No.4. Tasting pretty good but I think it could have been stored better in it's younger years.

I smoked an ERDM Gran Corona from '03 that was gifted to me by winRX. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN was it good, one of the more enjoyable cigars i've had in a while. I'm starting to really like that corona size.

It started out pretty sweet and creamy, but I got some canoeing going on half way through. The first half burned pretty evenly. After that point it started having a nice nutty/earthy flavor.

I filled up on black beans and rice then smoked it in the back yard laying in the hammock :)
I'll probably hit up my blog with a review sometime soon.

I always love to see what others are smoking....

like I said before....it makes me go "hmmmmmm" wonder if there's one of those in my humidor.

My smoke tonight is a Hoyo Epicure Especial .... these still need a little time on them, but I can't resist a Hoyo (plus they were sitting on top of my Hoyo Piramedes box...so at least they stopped me from touching those ones).

Holy cow Eric! That's one hell of a celebratory smoke!

Had an OTT RyJ Corona. Little flat, definately needs some recovery time. But still had hints of that classic RyJ profile. So FYI to those they are going out to...let 'em rest!:sleep:
