• 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.

    Best sticks to age

    In general, yes, however this is of course largely dependent on the manner in which they were stored. I've had cigars with 30+ years of age on them that were fantastic, and others that were like smoking air. Part of that is from the cigar being past it's prime, but also due to improper...

    Cigar Ponderings

    If it bothers you, try a soft flame lighter Chuck. I didn't really experience the problem you are talking about. I hold my torch pretty far away from the cigar to more heat it up than light it. Otherwise the wrapper starts to get charred.
