  • 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 time 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.

The other day I had one of those days from Hell. I mean Satan's fingerprints were all over it. From the job to the wife to the kids it was one for the books.

So, what do I do, I pull into the garage, walk immediately into the closet, open the humi and grab this so called "mood remedier", that according to the young kid at my local B&M.

Okay, a hasty removal of the cello, a sniff of the foot and out comes the Xikar and off with the foot. Now, I am not expecting anything special so I pair it with a cup of Cafe Bustelo and we're off.

The foot smelled of sweet molasses and grass. The couple of pre-light draws tasted of honey. So I heat the foot, roll it and it lights with nary an issue.

Well, the first third or so was nothing to write home about, medium body, kept my attention.

That's where the fun starts. Just about a third into this stick the flavors start to explode. The molasses and honey are bombarding me and the plumes of thick smoke take away all my stress.

The final third of this stick had me wishing for a roach clip as I did not want to put it down. Frrom start to finish I had no burn problems, I did not have to clear or re-light the stick and I sat there on our front porch admiring all of creation along with a great book and a tremendous cigar.

Before I go head over heels and spring for a box I am going to pick up a couple more of these sticks at the B&M and if they serve me as well as this one did, this stick will be in my Fave 5...

Sorry for picture quality, this is a first. I took them with my cell phone, next time I will grab the Sony.

Very nice. I've only had one and it was about 2 or 3 years ago and i remember that i didn't like it. I remember it was an odd taste for a cigar. But after taht review and now that i've grown" up a bit in my tastes, i think i'll have to try this one again.

I got one in a trade and gave it two thumbs up for flavor. Price point is a little steep for me though.

I smoked a Noventa Torpedo on the Balcony today that I got from my brother a year or so back. A real nice cigar with tons of flavours. A Terry Pratchett audiobook did acompany me (on english off cource, I really have to be better at it) and I had a really nice time. Can be a box or so in the future.
