  • 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.

Right off the truck impression, lightly packed with too free of a draw that requires a slow pull more like drinking through a straw.

Black pepper is a bit abrasive on the tongue during exhale. The wood and tea flavors would be good if I could take a full puff without over heating the cigar.

Edit: I slowed the pace and it got more interesting, but it still smokes and tastes like a $6.75 cigar. I don't see the 90 that Half Wheel gave it. Maybe with some rest to tame the pepper a bit it will be better.

One thing I did notice about the wrappers. This one is pretty mottled. It seems almost like an old person's hand covered in age spots. The other is a more solid darker shade. We'll see if that makes a difference later.
