Hey yall,
I was just curious to see which stoges my fellow BOTLs were enjoying and snuffing out this month so I could get ideas for my next order. My favorite this moth was the RP Natural. It blew my socks off; I was amazed how the little stick could be so full flavored, smooth, and great and at the same time be so little. On the flip side, I finally got to try an Acid cigar and wished that I wouldn't have. I gave it a good long run and finally snuffed it out about 2/3 of the way into it. Not only did it leave a horrid taste in my mouth for hours, but the band made my old cigar box, I use for collecting bands in, smell like a stinkin pechoulli soaked hippy. I don' tknow the particular name of this cigar, but the back of the band says Drew Estate.
Happy Trails

This is a sore topic for me, my best cigar this month (there have only been about 10) was a Sancho Panza Double Maduro for a cigar that costs less than $50 a box it smoked like a dream. My least favorite was a PAM that burned unevenly and did everything in it's power to unwrap it's self.

Fav was Warped Anubis. Least favorite were all the ones I've missed out on this week because of moving followed by a current sinus infection

My best was a Pepin Blue delicias. I love the blues but this one was just amazing.

My most disappointing was a Tatuaje taino that had almost no taste for some reason. It just had a slight hint of the pepin spice and pepper that I was expecting nothing more for the entire smoke. It was the first tat I didn't enjoy.

Fav was probably an 06 boli pc that I received in a trade with a very generous BOTL. On the other side, I haven't smoked any bad cigars in the past month or so. Lately I have been trying less and smoking more of what I know I like and have been very happy because of it.

Least Favorite : Santa Damiana. we got them through a close out of another store. They'd be good if you like your connecticut wrapper. I however enjoy the dark stuff.

Favorite: Gurkha G3 so far :tup :ss

Least Fav: Davidoff Maduro Robusto. They're just too fresh still. Plenty of signature Davidoff taste, but still that overbearing wet cardboard flavor. I'm going to try dry-boxing one down to around 60% and see if keeping it at that for a few weeks doesn't improve the flavor.


Favorite: Zino Classic #6. For some reason, we got two boxes that blew me out of the water. Forever and a day, all our boxes were earthy and bitter, but the last few I'd swear had something different about them. They were creamier and sweeter than I've ever seen in a Honduran cigar before.

Favorite was a Partagas Short, the first one I ever had and was just a totally enjoyable experience.

Least favorite was visiting an old friend, a Gurkha Super Fuerte. I used to love that cigar and found one I had buried over the weekend. I don't know if the rest changed it or it was just a bad one, but either way it was a huge letdown.

Favorite so far was either a Perdomo Lot 826 Corojo, or an RP Olde World Reserve Corojo, which is funny because I prefer Maduros, in general.

Least favorite was a 5 Vegas Series 'A', but I smoked it OTT, and I'm told they're much better after resting for a few months.

Favorite is either the Bolivar RE Simones or just your basic Party Short.

Least favorite was the Cohibo I figured couldn't be that bad!:pu

I had the pleasure of smoking my first Opus x this past week. It was everything i expected and more.

The cigar i was highly disappointed in was the CAO LX2. The first cigar i ever smoked was a cao gold and have love CAOs since then. This was the first CAO i truly didn't care for. For me it was just pepper followed up with more pepper.

This is a sore topic for me...

Even more sore topic for me - my favorite was nothing and my least favorite was nothing.
In fact, I don't think I've had a cigar since Dec 6th :hn

The best RYJ Escudo http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn133/bmwhite1978/IMG_0025.jpg

The worst could be any one of the three blind reviews I did on another forum. Those three cigars still haunt me every night. (They were, Punch London Club EMS 2007, La Escepcion M48 from 2004, Oliva Serie's "O" from 2006)

I also had a RP natural with you greasy and it was way more than I expected. For such a little stick, the build up was awesome. There was great flavor off the light!!!:ss
Least Favorite
I had a JR Alternative Cohiba and really didnt care for it at all. It could have been that it was very dry but I will let them soak some more and try again. I really have enjoyed all the JR Alternatives so far...

The best type of cigar to me is the type that surpises you, with its flavor.

Favorite was The Griffins Limited Ed. XXIV Glass Tubo Torpedo. 1st time on this one, very nice. :dr

Least Fav. was a CAO Black (which I like alot). This one was just way to green, very plugged. It needed to sit for a few months. I was just in the mood for one, and smoked it the day they arrived. :(

That is a tough as I am always influenced more by the last week than the last month. I guess I would say:

Favorite - Trinidad Reyes - I had been really wanting to try one and it didn't disappoint. Creamy, sweet, toasty MMMmmmm!!

Least Favorite - Punch Black Prince - I chose this one not really for the flavor, but because it was plugged so badly. If it wasn't plugged I think it would have had good flavor I just couldn't get to it!!
