  • 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.

no harm no foul, but a lot of people think the fabled 77 is the only pointy in that family. i really don't know why i tell people about the other vitolas: the more people chasing sharks, the easier it is to get the 46.

anyway, hope it smoked for you as wellas it looks!

Are you sure all of the sand sharks were box pressed?

shark is the anejo. there is also an opus shark, and a sand shark (based of the don carlos, IIRC?). all the same vitola, full size torpedo (or possibly trompeta), where the first 2/3 are box pressed, flowing back to round on the final 1/3 from just before the band, to the tip.

the 55 is a full sized torpedo, in round. it is cedar wrapped, like the rest of the anejo line. the 77 shark is the only anejo vitola that isn't cedar wrapped, as i'm not sure they could reasonably do that with a box press.

Oliva Master Blends 3, with thanks to bakongzoop. I love these, but this one was like sucking a golf ball through a garden hose, and it burnt wonky as hell. The pic is as far in as I got before I gave up.
