  • 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.

Didn't have a chance to get pictures up until today.

Also picked up four Padron Pyramids, two natural, two maduro, but stashed them deep in the humi before I remembered I should have taken a picture.

They taste tasty as well, I had some slight burn problems (burning unevenly) but the draw, construction, and flavor were flawless. It is unlike any other La Flor I have smoked. I feel like it is in between the Coronado and the Ligero lines strength wise but has a flavor of its own.

Yeah, I don't know if the picture does is justice but the box is absolutely huge. I know that only 300 boxes of these were made so if your B&M hasn't already ordered I am not sure what the chances are, you never know though. Good luck.

These dudes that run the B&M have quite a taste for the limited stuff. So I have real good chances. We'll see. Thanks for the pics you bastard, it makes me want them!

Nice pick up Dave!

I noticed the 'new' bands - is there more to the story?

I also grabbed a house blend by LFD for Holts today that are sold in ten packs. I only grabbed one to try for now. Looks good!

Yes, there is more to the story. The bands that are on these Salomones will be the new LFD bands period. I am not sure of the exact details causing the change but the gist of it was that Litto felt that the floral band was not as enticing to men as the new band is.
