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.

....I purchased two of those "prerelease" bundles and let me tell you they are damn good!
do these pre-releases have bands on them?

No, the two bundles I got came from Tim when he had JD at Burning Leaf Cigars. Both bundles are 6x60. I don't know about the ones that Cigar King has.
Thanks for the info Steve. I was going to mention thinking it would be soon as a local shop is doing a release party in November. Still have a few of my pre releases and have been rationing them out until they become more easily accessible but I am really enjoying these. I am curious to see what some age does for these monsters. I'm counting down the days until Feral Pigs hit!!!!!:stretchgr
Ive heard these mentioned, but I dont know a ton about them. What are they exactly? When are they coming?
And Steve? Any possibility on the Ratzillas? The Dirty Rat is one of my favorites and more of it would be great.

ratzillas are being delayed for the same reason you're not seeing any new shipments of t-52. no wrapper available yet!!

Regretfully Ratzilla is a victim of T52's sucess for the moment... the line was so immensely popular we went through all of our fermented capa quicker than anticipated in 2010 and the pilones we were expecting to be fully fermented in early 2011 from the 2009 Harvest were not ready so a huge delay resulted on everything wrapped with our Stalk Cut Habano.
We could have cut some corners, but it would of been at the expense of the blend, so we just kept working the leaf and stopped making T52 and Dirty Rats for the first half of 2011.
We were able to begin production again mid-year which means we SHOULD be releasing T52s and DRs back into the states in Januay 2012. No guarantees though except that if we are not please with them, we will ship nothing without additional aging.
Until we get T52 and DR fully back on track and flowing steady into the states every month, we just cannot release another Stalk Cut Habano capa wrapped blend into the market so Ratzilla is for now on indefinite hold.

Thanks Steve. Guess I am not smoking what I have anytime soon. Glad I got what I could when I could! Cant wait to try my Undercrown. I have been sitting on them for awhile now waiting for the perfect time. Feral pigs are my next hunt!
MUWAT is a fantastic manly smoke. Don't knock the size until you have tried one. I know some guys aren't into larger sized cigars but these are an experience and if you are a fan these are a must try. JD & Steve are on a roll producing hits. I have to say I love them all.
Feral Flying Pigs SHOULD start hitting the stores in November and we have batches slated for deliveries in Dec, Jan and Feb...
IMO this is by far and away the best Flying Pig blend - the taste and proportions are just perfect... They will be more expensive having just looked over the final costings, but I think those who are fans of this oddball will feel like they got a better value when they buy a box of these.
The blend is so righteous we are right now working the tobacco schedule to see if there is anyway to make the FFP an ongoing vitola even if it is in a really limited capacity.
