Drew Estate BOTL is an incredible boutique blend by this iconic company. FYI, BOTL stands for Brother of the Leaf and was originally made for the online community BOTL.org in 2012.
When this amazing medium to full bodied cigar came out in 2012 it was a huge hit. Then it disappeared! When it returned in 2019, it became a cult favorite. Here’s just a sampling of the industry wide accolades. Blind Man’s Puff @ 93. KATMAN @95. Cigar Journal @91. Stogie Review @91. BOTL is a testament to the genius of Master Blender Willie Herrera, HANDS DOWN!
The Lancero is a top pick!
