@JonHuber I'm sure this has been discussed but I'm gonna ask any way. How does the 2015 blend differ from last years. I smoked two last year and really liked them. I was lucky enough to trade a fellow BOTL for a few more recently. Thanks.

BOTL - Quick 'update'...will try to answer most in one shot here...
Las Calaveras EL 2015 will be available in 3 vitolas: LC46 (5 5/8 x 46), LC50 (5 x 50), and LC52 (6 x 52). The blend is comprised with 100% Nicaraguan binder/filler tobaccos (all via the Garcia Family farms), and is finished with a Ecuador Habano Rosado wrapper (last year's edition utilized a Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrapper).

In a nutshell...I'd say last year's blend was 'meatier'...had that charred-steak vibe to it...a lotta earth elements, too.

This year's is arguably more complex (IMHO)...great bones/structure...spice...sweet...coffee notes....

Cigars have /been/ done for awhile. Bands are at the factory...boxes in production....labels should be there any day.

Looking to ship late April to early May.

Cheers.
