Thanks to @Coincrazed for an enjoyable smoke

Glad you liked it my man! Those JDN's are fantastic.

Some interesting flavors in that one for sure!

To me, the finish is one of the best I've had. On the tongue, it's bold and smokey for sure but then it surprised me how smooth it is on the finish. To compare to say, Stagg Jr., I'd take the Bulleit barrel strength all day. I think a good comparison would be to Bookers. If you find a bottle, grab it.

Nice I'm definatly going to keep an eye out for that.

Hell yes. Need to come shoot!


Doug, how's the blade and bow? That's one I haven't had but been eyeing it.

Worth checking out! I got a great price on it, so couldn't pass it up. Super smooth on the front, with a nice bite that just tapers off, asking to take another sip.

Another first..

What flavor notes did you pick up in the profile?

Well my first today was a Quesada - Octoberfest a trade Cigar from a BOTL Member. Very nicely constructed, good even burn, and nice even ask formation.

Something I would called Medium Strong with a nice earthy flavor profile.

No complaint just a nice Cigar.

I have a box of these Oliva Serie O Maduro Churchill I was letting rest. I promised myself I would not touch them until spring but curiosity got the better of me and I ended up firing one of these up..... I'm so impulsive...... Definitely a fantastic smoke though.

Got a chance to get outside for a smoke before the rain comes and the temperatures drop again. Man I’m ready for spring.

I got the usual leather and cedar with some hay/earthiness and lots of spices and black pepper....what really threw me for a loop though was about halfway through, I had a couple draws that were straight up spearmint. Not even kidding!

Is that the Serie O Maduro? I'm smoking one right now. What do you think of this stick?

The perfect balance of leather and cedar! That's what I love about those! Glad you enjoyed it!

Spearmint??? No way! That s crazy. Never have I noted that flavor on any cigar!

It was a natural, decent med bodied stick. Not that complex or anything, but good. I'd definitely go for another.

Yeah man I'm 100% serious. It really threw me off and my wife even laughed because I was making a funny "wtf" face. It was only there for two draws, back to back. Maybe it was because of what I had for dinner or something but it was spearmint, plain as day!

I haven't met an Oliva O that I didn't like!

Try the O Maduro. These are fairly complex imo. Damn good if you ask me.

I agree. Probably something that melded with the tobacco flavor to give that note. But Damn I wish I could get a spearmint taste on sticks!

This is my first time enjoying one of these. I'm so glad I bought a box cause I'm definitely enjoying these in the better weather. Have you had an O Maduro?

 

[Fusion555]

This Yakuza gifted to me from a BOTL on another forum, my first Gurkha, dont think i would buy any but not too bad

I have had the habano and the maduro version both and I liked them both. I might spring for a box of the maduro O's in the future!
