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.

Hello and Welcome!!
Thanks to everybody for the kind welcome. I'm looking forward to learning from everybody here.
BTW, where in SoCal are you? I grew up in San Diego, and my folks still live there.
I won an extra 20-count humidor on c-bid last week (had a few lowball bids in), so I seasoned it and put a couple of my new favorites in as a "starter pack" for a friend of mine who has enjoyed the cigars I've shared with him in the past. (I have an ulterior motive: cigars smoked with a friend seem to taste better than cigars smoked alone, and maybe I'll be able to smoke his cigars at some point. :smile
I tossed a CAO and a couple of Rocky Patels in my friend's new humidor, and briefly contemplated tossing the PI in there too, but then I read some of the scathing comments, and thought better of it. (I was eventually going to try it myself, but I wouldn't inflict it on a friend if it's as bad as you all say.)

Yeah, I was a bit surprised, because the Onyx seems like something I'd like. Some of the cigars I've smoked recently have been mediocre, but this was the first one that really tasted bad. I bought it at a chain tobacco store (Tobacco Outlet, or something like that), and maybe it wasn't kept properly. I think I smoked it the same day I bought it. I'll pick up another one at some point and make sure it's properly humidified, then give it another try.

Well, I'm a newbie, so you might be trying to trick me out of one of Rolando Reyes's fine creations :smile:, but you've got a deal. I'll send the PI out with a stamped return envelope. Thanks!

I got your package on Saturday Asher, and I had totally forgot about this deal. Then when I did a little research, I got a big smile and was excited to get my end done. I'll pick out a few good smokes and get them to you first thing tomorrow morning.
Although I do have to laugh as I think you misunderstood, when I said "for the cost of postage", what I meant was, for the cost of you shipping that Puros Indios to me, not sending me a prepaid mailer! ROFLMAO, sorry, I didn't mean for you to send return postage to me!

Yeah, I had the PI all packaged up and ready to go . . . and then I completely forgot to send it! You might want to hang on to it; now that Rolando Reyes has retired the Puros Indios brand, it might be a collector's item. :smile:
I figured that's what you meant, actually, but I wanted to at least cover the postage, since your offer was so generous. Next time you're near Madison, drop me a line. Despite the city-wide smoking ban, we still have one cigar bar. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what cigars you've picked out. Thanks again!
