  • 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.

Well as far as the cigars construction I thought it was near flawless. It burned very even, generated ample amount of smoke from beginning to end and the ash seemed like it held on forever or atleast till I rolled it around in my ashtray to shorten it. No real hard or soft spots either. Plus the shape is pretty unique but LFD is known for that anyways.

Now I consider this more medium to full bodied rather than a true full bodied. I know a lot of people consider it full bodied but I just don't think it is based on the feel of the draws and smoke production in my mouth personally, but I might be wrong.

As far as the flavor profile is conserned I would check reviews on that they seem pretty spot on the only thing I could add to that is notes of cedar in the first 1/4 but that could have been because I lit it with cedar spills. I thought the overall cigar was good. I wouldn't rate it at a 96 though. I did enjoy smoking it, but I don't think it was really worth all the hype. Alot of people don't like Corojo wrappers, some love them though so idk. I have a 5er coming and a couple more in my humi right now I'd like to revisit it in a few months and see if it's changed at all. Sorry for the book long post Brothers.

No apologies needed. I asked hoping to receive a review on your experience with them. As with all smokes I've found that what makes a good stick is if you enjoy it. I am really curious how they taste with some age. I didn't find it to be a full bodied either. I think I might enjoy the extra cedar in the first. Thanks I didn't think about lighting it with a spill
