  • 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 I had a credit at a local B & M that is doing their annual reward. So I bought something I wanted to try Esteban Carrera - Mr. Brownstone - Toro, got two for the price of one. First indication was appearence, external construction, & presentation was great with nice foot band, what appear to be parchment body cover, and fancy banding. Honeslty it entire external presentation say & yells quality, no cornors cut.:cigar:

After I cut the Cap it would not draw for crap problem packed very tight, but problem resolved and I fired it up. The stick is burning nice & even, with semitrical ash. The flavor profile is spicy, with hits of sweetness. Honeslty this is like many other Cigar in the $9.00-$12.00 retail price range. But the flavor profile is what I would call unique & different.:)

I honestly would not put this particular stick on my repulse list, but in defense of the company all of us like different stuff. So if you run accross this particular Cigar for a deal try it because it is different.:yawn:

Never heard of Esteban Carrera Cigars? California based boutique company, field & production in Nicagraga. Limited distribution area. But several online retailers sell at discount off MSRP.:cigar: My like their Hellcat.:)

Well my final thought on the Esteban Carrera - Dr. Brownstone is it is a unique flavor profile kind of strong, something you might want to try a couple of to experiment with something new. :cigar: I smoke it down to a Nub, it kept change flavor as someone would say very interesting.

@SurfnSafari
Have you tried the Chupa Cabra? It’s a pretty decent smoke IMHO.
