L40 vs BOTL 2012?

[zirotti]

I have yet to smoke either, but was curious from those that have smoked both, how do they compare?

To me the L40 was more full bodied and in line with the Liga Privada stuff. The BOTL was more medium bodied and not such a palate wrecker

Thanks bud

Had a buddy say "its a L40 with different panties on"

I can tell you what they both share. Smoke and lots of it. I kind of avoid lanceros because I don't have the patience to smoke them properly. I like a no effort draw that produces a mouthful of smoke, for the most part I've had to draw way too long to get that from most lanceros causing heat and bitterness. Yeah, my fault and I know it but not with these. The over used "copious" applies to both of these.

I preferred the L40 but the BOTL was a good stick too.

The BOTL stick is sweeter, and more complex to my tastes....

I've only smoked one of my BOTL sticks but I found it to be a tad more in your face than the l40. Even a bit stronger IMO. Everyone is different!

Gives me an idea: smoke one of each today and compare

I thought that's what the initial reviews had said, that it was stronger than the L40.

L40 hands down

It's been well over a month since I smoked the L40, I need to get my hands on a couple more to revisit, but from what I remember, the BOTL is definitely sweeter.

Making this comparison may not help, but I'm gonna make it anyway... the L40 smoked a little more like a T52 - it was dryer, more leathery, more woody, and less sweet. Te BOTL 2012 was a little sweeter, and swung a little more towards the cedar of the No.9.

That's just my recollection.

My comments were regarding body not strength

When I smoked the L40, I was done for the night. When I had the BOTL I could have a few cigars afterwards.

I misread that then!
