  • 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.

I would love to try them and give my own and much better review. I know previous exclusivo blends had beautiful bright leather and floral flavors that powered up to some dark chocolate and coffee notes. I would like to see how the shape effects the flavor on this particular stick

I've only had one, a couple days ago, and it was so bad it made me want to take a break from cigars. I just did not care for it at all.

I got a box of these, and I have to say these are a really good smoke. the size is nice and the burn is even and long lasting for the short size. The flavor is a mocha vinella sweet tobacco type. i could burn these all the time!! how about making these a regular available line Viaje?:chat:

I enjoyed the one I smoked. Got a box and a one of the cigars was a little worse for the wear with cracking wrapper near the head of the cigar. I used my recently purchased Credo vegetable glue and a scrap of wrapper off of a PCR nub to cover up the crack. The cigar burned long and slow with a very even burn and no relights 4 days after delivery. Flavor profile was good, but I am certain that it will get better. I did not take notes, but from memory, it was woody/leathery with a fair amount of spice and some sweetness on the finnish. Not particulary creamy and a little thin on the palate but I think this is where some downtime might really improve this cigar. The cigar is pretty smooth on the retrohale considering it's youth with a nice medium+/medium+ strength to flavor ratio. I was worried that they were too small for a $9 cigar, but it produced good volumes of smoke for at least an hour so I am happy with the purchase.
