  • 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.

What are your daily smokes?

My dailys tend to change over the weeks and months but lately it's been Alec Bradley Tempus and Prensado, Don Pepin Black...I've actually been smoking a variety of stuff.
I've been digging the AB Tempus as well, great flavor. Also have to jump on board the Padron boat, but for some reason I'm partial to their Ambassador Maduro's. I find them to be a great change of pace, and 26 sticks for 80 bucks doesn't hurt either.

Tatuaje (name it)
Liga (name it)
Padron (64 TAAs and 26 35s)

The tats maybe, but the rest of those arent what I would consider not too pricy. The Ligas are amazing though and worth every penny. I have had the pleasure of a Padron anny yet.

Thanks alot guys. I just had my first Padron 2000 this morning, those are great cigars. However, it's a little bit light for my taste. It burns, taste, smells and draws great, but had to toss it out towards the end, I'll say around 2.5" left, it was getting too bitter for me.

I read alot about all Padron, Tatuaje is all over the forums. I will look into 5 packs of Liga. Also, any good bargain sites for these fine cigars? Thanks guys.
Unfortunately deals and Liga Privada don't ever collide in the same sentence. Your best bet to get a couple dollars off of some is Cbid. They pop up on there from time to time.

La Aurora 107 and Nestor Miranda Special Selection are my most often go to smokes. Love them both. I also regularly enjoy anything Pepin, LFD, and Casa Magna.

Great, thanks for all the advice. I will look into all brands mentioned and try as many as I can. BTW, just stopped by another B&M shop near my house this time, and the price is outrageous, it should be a crime to mark up prices this high. I'm sticking to online shops, and have been checking out cbid and see some really good deals.

Wouldn't you like to know?
Remember as well that just because a cigar is expensive in your local it doesn't mean they are gouging. They have taxes to deal with that online guys won't have to deal with as well they cannot survive on the slimmer margains that the big online guys do. Also most B&M's don't have the buying power to get the discounts that the big online guys do. If you are looking to figure out what you like a good B&M can be great. It can sometimes be worth it to pay double for one cigar then to pay for a 5 pack or box.

A couple of cheap (inexpensive) cigars are the Fresco by Perdomo and Flor de Oliva by Oliva. They're hand made long fillers from Nicaragua, and they come in numerous sizes and wrappers. Although I buy most of my cigars online, there's no subsitute for the personal service from the B&M's.

I recommend the Arturo Fuente Sun Grown. It is a great cigar for the price which I enjoy since I am slightly biased toward the Dominican cigars. However, if you are looking for a Nicaraguan the Frank Llaneza is a pleasant smoke.
