  • 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.

This cigar has one of the best starts of any on the market. Earth, black pepper, powdery chocolate, coffee, hickory, cinnamon, nuts, and more. it is an avalanche of flavors for the first .75". The second third is a bit boring in comparison. It is mainly earth, cedar, tobacco, a touch of coffee, and not much else. Then it becomes a bit of Sumatra sweetness under Pennsylvania earth, wood, black pepper, floral, and a touch of cinnamon. With the wood it reminds me of a cinnamon toothpick. The spice ramps up towards the nub.

It was very well packed and took an hour to smoke. The finish lingers for a while making it easy to accidentally let it go out. The only complaint was that the wrapper seems too thick for the blend and required a few touches.

Worth a fiver to explore.
