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.
Glassman- When you said you didn't like spice bombs I was like uh oh! But what notes besides spice did you taste dude?Finally seeing what this is all about thanks to John! @Coincrazed
It is pairing well with a Cab as you mentioned.

It is really good. Not necessarily landing exactly on my favorite spots on the flavor wheel, but I can definitely see why people would love it.
It tastes similar, but darker, no? Glad you liked it!View attachment 108528
Thanks to @Coincrazed. This was a great stick! Better than the regular JdN Antaño in my opinion.
Hmm, it wasn't "TOO" spicy, not like a "my father", but I'm drawing a blank now on the specifics, maybe more on the oaky smoked meat side of things. It was good, but in its style I'd lean more towards a flathead or Anaconda. Something with a little more sweetness and different woody flavors.
