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.

Finished today with a fifth cigar. My personal record! A Fuente chateau maduro.

It started off great. There was a lot of fresh brewed coffee and chocolate. A nice spice popped in and out with a pepper backer. Then at the beginning of the second third things went as bad as possible. The wrapper separated from the filler around half of the cigar. Then the ash fell and there was a hollow spot almost big enough to put the tip of my pinky in. The hollow area ran back at least a 1/2". The cigar was tunneling bad and there wasn't really much hope of saving it. A sad ending to a very promising cheap cigar.
As crazy as it might sound I plan on buying another one. It may have been an issue of transferring it from 69f and 69% rh to 20f and 40% rh.The hollow spot was disconcerting. It may have been an anomaly though.
IF they have consistently good construction, I will buy a bundle. In my honest opinion if you put a boutique band on these they could go for triple the price and be called a bargain.
Roll Tide My Friend!
