  • 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.

    Heh... the dog entertains me.

    Poor little bastard has some really dried out and irritated ears. He's been scratching 'em like crazy lately and his ears stink really bad. I rubbed some coconut oil on his ears. He keeps shaking himself like he has water in his ears and he keeps turning around really fast because he's trying to...

    Favored cigar size and shape?

    :stretchgr Heh. Yeah those are so soft it the head rarely keeps the form. Also, no wrapper so I don't have to worry about that breaking.

    Favored cigar size and shape?

    Well, when my friend feels like rolling I like 'em 6"x70. Nice fat stubby cigar, ridiculous amount of smoke. One rolled and pressed? Perfecto. I like my perfectos about 7"x52.

    Ah yes. Yeah I remember now, tried bee, didn't work. Tried bees, nothing related to this. Ah well.

    Best DUI ever

    I dunno... we used to play a drinking game where ya had to do that. We had all kinds of drinking games. We even organized a Drunk Olympics once. I lost because even sober I can't jump rope. The Drunk Olympics were in no way affiliated with the Olympic Movement or the IOC.

    Compliment or Complain

    Well, considering my friend sometimes lets me product test some of the new blends I tell him what I think then. Otherwise I get what I know I like. I may just write Rocky Patel and Fuente.

    Home Theater Surround Sound Question

    Speakers are an interesting subject. It's like cigars, everyone has their own preference in sound and the use each person puts them to is varied. Anyway, I'd stay away from Bose, premium price for a sound that is normally beat by lower cost items. I'm not particularly fond of a lot of the lower...

    Looking for a recommendation.

    I may give The Edge another try. It seems I got two bum sticks from that luck of the draw. Although I did enjoy the Tatuaje Brown the most I think.

    Carlos Toraño Signature Collection Toro Review

    Yeah there seems to me to be some inconsistency in many NC cigars. For instance, my experience with the Fuente Hemingway this afternoon seems to be abnormal from the reviews I've read.

    Looking for a recommendation.

    Just finished smoking what I could of the Hemingway. The first half was smooth and creamy. A nice slow draw on the perfecto. Very nice until I hit the second half. It got harsh really quick. I purged it thinking that might help but it didn't. The ammonia started to give me a headache and so I...

    Looking for a recommendation.

    Yeah I'm ridiculously spoiled. I have my own blend. I also get to product test sometimes. I'd stick with his too, but driving up the Phoenix area whenever feel like a smoke ain't too convenient. I go when I can.

    Looking for a recommendation.

    Thanks for the recommendations. I picked out a Padron Serie 1926 #6, a Tatuaje Brown Label panatella, a Rocky Patel The Edge and a Fuente Hemingway which was a 7x48. Stayed at the store a good while and met some really interesting older fellows. I lit the Padron first. Construction was...

    Looking for a recommendation.

    Never that. Just no longer within close proximity. I went up there the Friday before XMas and enjoyed a 30 year old oscuro torpedo. Kicked my ass and had me drooling. Wonderful cigar. I'm just looking for a smoke that's decent and I don't have to drive 120 miles for.
