  • 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.

I wanted the band nice and simple with just the date so you can tell the years apart from each other.....The band is actually a copy of an old Cuban Diplomatic(Not Diplomatico) band found on page 61 of MRN's book. Pretty much the same but the colors are different and I added a fleur on the end.

Wouldn't you like to know?
I think even more so it goes with the vintage wine theme. When was the last time someone got excited about the 1999 vintage Red firetruck, Painted Turtle, Naked Grape or little black dress. There are exceptions but often the flash hides a lack of substance. That said if Pete does put out a crap cigar with flashy band, I'm in for a fiver at least.

im feelin the old school style bands.... IMO a cigar's band shouldn't look like it was designed by industrial light and magic!

simple and classy is sufficient
