  • 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 time 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.

Strangest thing you've ever paired a cigar with:

This one may set off a few folks. Keep in mind, I don't drink.
My brother & I celibrated our birthday on Fri. 13JUNE. I bought us a couple of OPUS X. Very nice. It was damn hot up there (near lake Oroville) so I had my daughter bring me out a drink. Mountain Dew. What the hell. Backed up that beau-T-Full smoke with some carboration and sweetness. :smokingbo
OK, let me have it. I'm locked and loaded.:riflefire

I had a Dr. Pepper the other night with a cigar becase there was nothing else in the house and it was fantastic. Call me crazy but the combination of flavors in the soda complimented the Rocky Patel OWR I was smoking perfectly!

I hung up the bottle, going on three years now. So when I want the "Betty Ford Speed Ball" I fire up and chase it with sugar free Monster or No Fear. Makes for a nice little buzz....
I thought I was the only one to pair cigars with energy drinks. It's been a month shy of nine years for me.

Not sure why, but when I smoke an aged Opus and drink water with it, the Opus tastes buttery, not a flavor I ever get unless I drink water with that particular cigar, especially the No.2

Mickey's 40 Oz. a large tootsie roll and any cigar. A thing I started back in College. The little store we would go to get booze at always had tootsie rolls at the counter. Stupid, yes. Odd, very much so.

I had an A&W Cream Soda with a Diamond Crown Robusto #5. It was not a bad pairing iI have to admit. I like the sweet taste after a long draw of a fine cigar. :D
