• 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.

    Storing Tubed Cigars

    Well, now you can do your own scientific study and decide for yourself if, over time, there is any significant difference between storing them as is or taking them out of the tube to store. That's the fun part, smoking them and tasting if there is a difference!!

    One of the reasons that I like this forum so much is that the sort of newbie bashing that happens at other sites doesn't happen here much.

    Storing Tubed Cigars

    I have had tubed cigars that were unopened for over 20 years and they were magnificent. If you are storing your cigars properly, there is no reason to take the cap off. I tend to keep my cigars on the dry side, so cigars that have been shipped wet equalize over time. The tube is NOT airtight...

    Give me some ideas..

    I wouldn't give anyone Guantanameras, they suck! There are other smokes that are economical and still are good tasting. I find that Raphael Gonzalez cigars are a vastly underated cigar that are also very reasonably priced. The Coronas Extras can be had for ca. $160, don't know what that...

    National Anthem

    YES!! You are absolutely right, imho. When my band plays it we play with a very spirited tempo, gets the crowd fired up.
