  • 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.

    Double Deuce out on the town - 3/19/05

    After a rough week of working 16 hour days every day and an additional 6 hours on Saturday, the Big Red Machine needed some well deserved r&r. It was my step brother's birthday yesterday and he had invited me out to the Copacabana to hang out. Sheeeit, he didn't have to ask twice. The...

    Bolivar RC

    Boli RC's are great with at least 2 years of age on them IMO. Before that, they are a little "rough" so to speak. I'd say get those 03's and put them down for a few months at least.

    Would you age all NC's?

    From experience, cigars like the La Flor dom. Ligero's, and JdN antano's don't age very well. The reason is these cigars are meant to be smoked when they are at their strongest which is usually fresh out the box. With age, these turn into your average mild smokes. However, I do agree that...

    La China Custom Salamone - Jan. 05

    Just the size of this cigar is enough to intimidate someone. Dark, oily and incredible construction were the first things that popped into my head when I looked over the cigar. Clipped it and it had a great draw. Lit it up and after the initial tip was gone, the draw was simply incredible...

    Machine Made Habanos

    RyJ and Partagas Perfectos. If you can find them with a little age, they are great. Early 90's La Corona's. Straightforward tobacco taste.

    People watching in NYC

    After a rough couple of weeks (death in the family, work, break up with the girl..etc.) I decided to take Saturday night and go out by myself and just relax a bit. I hadn't had a cigar in a while, so I wanted to kick back, relax and just chill with a nice cigar. Where to go? Circa Tabac? Club...

    HDM petit robustos

    These are great. I have about 4 left from some I got back in August and they are smoking very well. A little more strength than the average HdM line and a good size for a quick smoke. The price is always good and are available in boxes of 15. Pretty good deal if ya ask me!

    Ugly cigars

    I had some La Corona's from 1992 that were horrid looking. When I smoked them, they were indeed a nice smoking experience. Straight forward tobacco taste, very earthy and a good draw.
