We are visiting my in-laws for the week, I usually bring a handful of cigars with me to smoke with my father-in-law and then we make at least one trip to someplace with a humidor. As we are nearing the end of our trip I needed to pick up a few more sticks, so after dinner with my wife last night and she and I walked down to a shop and I walked out with these. I think 27 will get me through the rest of the trip! These seem to get mixed reviews online, but I generally like them, and with the sale price I feel like I got a good deal. I know a lot of us who left reddit are spending all of their time on the botl forum but I’m hoping that this Lemmy community will pick up some steam.
How’d they smoke?
Really well. The draw was consistent, the construction is really great, last time I made a spur of the moment decision to buy a box that was on sale the construction was really poor so I’m really happy with these.
Good to hear. I have a few coronas. They get the job done.I don’t get a lot of complexity, but my new strategy for complexity is to smoke 2 cheaper smaller cigar versus one big complex one. If I get pepper with a little sweetness I’m happy as long at the burn is good.
Like previously on your post, did you get any noteworthy notes? if so which ones?
Half the time I try to go look at comment replies lemmy.world is being difficult, I was able to reply to your comment on my other post the other day but then I couldn’t get this one to load…
These cigars are fine. So far they’ve all been well constructed, and they’re not the best but there are certainly not the worst, which is why I was okay with buying a box of them, I don’t mind smoking a couple through the week out on the back deck. As far as notes go I don’t get a lot, but I do get some sort of a nut, I don’t know if it’s a walnut or what but it makes me think of a nutty flavor. I don’t know if it’s just my pallet or what but I can’t really get more descriptive than that.
