  • 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.

What ruins a good cigar?

I hate it when the damn wrapper blows up. Nothing worse than lighting a fine stick to find that your wrapper explodes and you have to fight with it for the rest of the smoke.

Wow, with all those problems, it's amazing we ever find something to enjoy.

A lot of these problems are just attitude. A nagging wife can only bother you if you don't have your stereo headphones turned up high enough. Lame talkers are only a problem if you're too polite to tell them where to go. Work problems are only an issue if you value your job. I guess maybe it's a question of priorities.

I hate wrapper cracking, exploding (really?), and allowing air to dilute the draw on an otherwise good cigar.

Interesting about the onions and garlic, (and I love garlic), and these are the kind of things I was looking for, but now I'm tempted to try it just to see. I eat a lot of Myntz which are similar to Altoids but sugar-free. I don't really recall having one right before a cigar.

What's a DQ flame-thrower?
