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.

IMO you can't go wrong with the 10th Anniversary Maduro. It's a great smoke and Perdomo is pretty consistent throughout their lines. My boy GoingPostal loves the Lot 23 intro line.

+1 on the 10th Anniversary Maduro.
Just ordered a robusto five pack off cigar monster yesterday.

That's what I'm talking about man!:thumbsup:
The Lot23 and Habano lines are both good. If you want a good mild cigar the champagne is a popular one. I would highly suggest the champagne noir that is being released right now. That is one fantastic stick! Strong, spicy, and yummy. The patriarch line is great as well.

Hey Zed I gotta recommend the lot 23 (natural) by Perdomo. That said...while the maduro in the line is also good...I would avoid it unless you want some stains on you.
IMHO, his best are history
- Maduro Reserve used to come in red cello and was one of the best 'regular production' NC avail until it was discontinued.
- ESV 91 Maduro was also incredible - if you find either of those, you're in for a treat
Of current production, I really only get excited about two anymore: Partiarch Corojo Lonsdale and Habano Corojo Robusto. If you're a bargain hunter, Nick's Sticks and CI Legends Red are both decent for what they generally go for.
There are two newer releases that sound very promising that I have yet to try: Champagne Maduro and ESV 2002

I like the Lot 23 maduro. Nice, relatively cheap smoke. I've never had an issue with staining.

I'm a bit of a perdomo whore but thinks it all been covered.
So True, although think i was one of the few who prefered ESV 91 natural over maduro. If you find either one of these go for it. If you want to get an idea of what you missed try the CI ESV 91 seconds pretty close the the real thing, IMO.
2nd everything here, Lot 23 and Habano are good ROTT but improve with some age, and for a mild stick with great flavor tough to beat the orginal champagne, but dying to try the noir hear great things. and the patriarch corojo is one of my favorite sticks, true they are a bit pricey but keep and eye out for a sale and man you are in for a treat.
yeah, exactly these buy em then forget about em, after a year you'll totally understand. this is an recuring theme with perdomos "bargin"/value lines whatever you call em. Slow-Age, Fresh Rolled, etc
The 10th Anniversary Maduro is one of my favorites too. The Lot 23's are worth trying. Another one not mentioned yet, on the inexpensive side would be Nick's Sticks by Perdomo. Definitely check those out too!
