  • 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.

It was quite good. Accurately described by someone else as a medium smoke with solid flavor profile. I would add that the profile is quite sharp right now, likely a result of its youth. With a little age, I think the sharpness will subside and the profile will become far more robust than it is now.

Couple of aesthetic notes - burned straight as an arrow, despite a slight tear in the wrapper from transit. Only needed a relight just once. Very impressed.

Damn thing was tight. Smoked at least a half dozen out of this box and this was the first with any draw problem.

I "think" I had a bloli RC last night from our group buy of last month, but it was from ......, so no bands, and I"m not very good about recordkeeping. they just go into the box, with the rest of them.....damn cigar made a TON of smoke, i never saw such a smokey cigar.....No draw problems there....

It's from the same box. First clunker I encountered....

By the way, smoke them. All of them. Not at the same time, of course.

I had a SS#2 from '01...It was just so-so with thin smoke and kind of muted flavors. Pretty odd to me

Smoking my first Cohiba Selection Reserva Pyramid ATM. Very good smoke. QUOTE]

The pyramids from the Seleccion Reserva are my second favorite from the bunch.....I'm smoking my 3rd of the Medias Coronas right now in celebration of buying a new house. :smokingbo :smokingbo

All the flavors are so mixed together so nicely...so smooth. It seemed to be a little more mild than the other 2 I've smoked. Must come with age. Sure wish they'd more of this size.

I had an '02 QdO Corona this afternoon. Not the most popular of cigars but I really like them. Mild and great with coffee in the morning (or afternoon in the case).
Congrats on the new house damarnfl!

Had a Siglo I with a cup of coffee while waiting for a shuttle service to take me to work (Yum). Had an SLR Regios as a nightcap.
