  • 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.

    One question: Is the 7 of clubs Honduran, Dominican or Nicaraguan? :hysterica

    Dead Cutter

    Yeah. Stay away from water and stick with alcohol. Always good advice, whether we're talking about cutters or not... :halfgrinw

    First Order Arived

    I always give a new humidor a good few (3-5) days to soak up the humidity and stabilize. A lot depends on the climate where you are and where the humidor has been. Also, some folks wipe down the interior of the humidor with a clean white cloth that has been dampened with distilled water, while...

    Lampe Berger

    I saw a thread about these somewhere, some time in the last year. The general sense was that the people who had them seemed to like them.

    Flying with a Torch Lighter

    I put the $3-5 Ronson Jet-Lite in the DOT-approved Otter Box carrier designed for Zippos (it fits perfectly) in my packed luggage. I have never had a problem yet, and I fly about once a month. However, I pack the Ronson instead of my Dupont or even one of my Zippos with butane imports, just in...

    European Cigar Cult Journal

    I would have been glad to help you out, but I tossed my copy. 'Nough said? It was just too oriented to the European cigar smoker to be of interest to me. I shouldn't have been surprised by that, but it just wasn't a good fit with my interests.

    You might be able to get some good info from the RTDA, or whatever its new name is.

    Pepin opinions?

    I like most Pepins, but I don't like peppery cigars, so I definitely prefer the Blue over the Black. Many folks feel the opposite. I guess that's why he makes both... :smokingbo

    Cigar Caddy market research

    FWIW, I wouldn't trade the reduction in capacity for the increase in tray quality. JMO.

    Fuente Anejo

    If you have the discipline to put some Anejos away for a year, preferably two, your patience will be more than fairly rewarded.

    Breakfast Anyone?

    Well, I always eat breakfast before smoking, so I pretty much smoke anything I feel like in the A.M. without paying attention to strength. Of course, I usually won't start the day with a JDN Antano or LFD Double Ligero. Other than that, it's whatever I grab from the humidor or dealer shelf and...

    Joya De Nic Antano

    Yup. I like the strength of the Antanos just fine, but they are much more peppery than I prefer. The Celebracions are a nice compromise.

    Cigar Smoking??

    Coronas are fairly small cigars and, IME, only last about 45 minutes or so. The rule of thumb is to take a puff about once a minute. If you want your cigar to last longer, try smoking bigger cigars.
