Found this in the humidor. Nice treat until my box of them arrives later this week.

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.

Those get knocked a bit. They need quite a bit of time to shine.Day launched with a Dominican Repulbic Cohiba - Red Dot, in Churchill size. These Cigar are normally perfectly constructed, but if you look close at the "foot" area, it is a little crooked. After straight cutting the "cap" area what a trade tight to my liking, so a little help from my "PerfecDraw" it opened up , and air flowed nice, draw I'm proved.After fixeing the Cigar up (light-up) it burned even, and for a nice even ash. I like a nice long semitrical ash because I tend to let ashes get long, as the keeps the hot part of the foot area cooler, producing cooler smoke, with more flavor. JMHO.
This is a Medium - Strongish blend that has a great flavor profile I would call earthy, with hits of nuts, leather, and slight of spiciness.

Yup totally agree. These Black Ops always have good construction, burn and taste. Slap a Padron or Montecristo-ish band on there and you’d really have something.
I agree with you about the band. I'm a huge proponent of the "less is more" theory. However, I am excited to smoke the one you sent me. (thanks again!)
@bostoneo, the word proponent means a person who is in favor of something. In this case, I am in favor, or a proponent, of less design and marketing being on a cigar band.
