Browsed the B&M earlier and picked his guy up without doing any research, only knowing that I've seen the box sitting there next to the Guardians. I've smoked a couple of the Guardians and liked them, and the BOTL always caught my eye, but I never paid them any more attention than just those couple of moments. Wanted a quick smoke, saw the Guardians, and when they thought I was back, I reached pass them.
Initial Stuff:
Found the V-Cut - somehow it made it's way inside the spice cabinet. Gave her a slice, and she's wide open. All I know is the DE brand and BOTL forum and namesake representing lovers of the leaf. It should be good. $10.80 - 12 w/tax. - it better be good.
1/3:
Did research, didn't realize it's a broadleaf wrapper. Still have problems discerning maduro and broadleaf. The broadleaf is a little dry and mild tasting at first. The taste is heavy, unadultered tobacco. I'm guessing this BOTL is sticking close to it's guns and moniker with this fella. After deeper pulls and a flame touch-up, the broadleaf shines and a sharp taste that is only characterized by good broadleaf emerges. The pull is nice. Ash is clean. Rich and smooth, yet sharp, tobacco. Nice and spicy on the nose with deep pulls. This broadleaf knows how to bring a little water to the eyes. No real sweetness, which is fine by me. One last puff and I'm saving part 2 for later tonight. Thought I had more time to kill.
Stick around folks. Hopefully she doesn't go bad on me after resting acouple hours.
