  • 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.

No idea of your intent with that post, so I'll just pretend I didn't see it and complement you on your blog.
I'm quite sure the intent was one of humor, exactly why you would reply in such a manner when by your own admission you have "no idea" of Brooks' intent is a bit alarming.

No harm intended, just a joke :)

It was actually a quote from the Simpsons...

glad to hear it! I figured it was, but it's hard to tell on message boards sometimes. I've had plenty of people get offended and be offensive towards me just telling them i'm a vegan. so you never know. like i said...love your blog!

in what manner did i reply? alarming? I was simply stating that i didn't know if he was joking or being offensive, so i merely chose to ignore the comment due to the occasional vagaries of message board posts, and complement him on his blog. how about we drop this now and get back on topic... THE FACE!

Any word yet on the other 130 retailers? who gets a few random 13 boxes and how many 10 boxes they'll get?

Can anybody explain to me WHY in the world a cigar shop would charge state taxes to out-of-state buyers? The States doesn't ask them to do that, so who does it help? It only hurts the buyer and therefore potentially looses a client for that shop. I don't get it.

Also ... maybe this is my cynical side talking, but there's nothing to keep those shops from pocketing that money, since they can tell the state it was an OOS purchase.

Wouldn't you like to know?
The only thing I am thinking is that if the store is not used to shipping and their State makes them charge if not shipped then it would just not be worth the headache. I know we all think that the main fan base for Tats in internet forum guys, but I am sure there are stores that do a good business with local traffic. But also internet guys are pretty good at only buying from the cheapest source so will rarely be repeat customers as they can't compete with the big online guys. I don't think any store will really be hurt by not selling one of these to an online customer. To tell you the truth I was quite impressed to hear someone post that a store still had dracs on the shelf just a few days ago. Again like always these are kinda a catch 22 as they are quite a bonus to B&M's that don't usually do a lot of mail order but are chased by the internet buyer.

The Tatuaje Website lists "all" his retailers, not sure how you would determine which one's are his "Top 130".

Through a friend of a friend I have heard of one retailer that is receiving them....2 Coffins and 8 10-count boxes.
