  • 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.

IMG_3191.JPG First impression: it's a big stick (TWSS), nice sweet tobacco on the cold draw. Construction and burn are very good. Draw is nice and open. About an inch in, I'm getting some stewed fruit, a little pepper, and a hint of sweetness. I'm also getting a nice long finish on the tongue that reminds me of honey roasted peanuts. I'd say it's just a tick above medium body. Plenty of smoke output. So far, so good....

Moving into the second third, stewed fruit still going strong, pepper has calmed down but still present on the retro. Reminds me of a young RASS. Plenty of smoke output and construction is excellent as ash is holding strong at two plus inches.

Not much change going into the final third. Had to relight one time after I intentionally knocked off the ash. Flavors profile is very consistent, maybe a baking spice coming in at halfway point. Stewed fruit is the main component for me. I'm intrigued on how these will develope with a little time to settle. Definitely a box buy if you're looking for a good NC to smoke on a nice evening when you have an hour and a half to relax and enjoy.

IMG_3201.JPG Final smoke time was closer to two hours for me. Sitting on the porch with some Buffalo Trace enjoying the crisp evening here in N GA. This is about as far as I want to go with it tonight. A little harsh toward the end but a little down time will mellow that out - this was just purchased earlier today. Again, excellent smoke IMO. Well done @JonHuber
