• 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 capped cigars.

    Wow you are both braver then I am. If no one from the manufacturer could tell me those things like blend or even which end to light I don't think I could have lit it. They should come with a warning label on them. "tho this item is made entirely from tobacco it is in no way shape or form...

    Double capped cigars.

    Is the bottom capped? I can't tell from the picture. If not then should be easy if so figure out which way the wrapper goes and smoke from that end. That said as much as I don't keep cigars I won't smoke that being a gift and rolled by Pepin for you I would find some way of sealing that up so u...

    Double capped cigars.

    Or if My Father is saying that all their cigars are intended to be smoked with the band ask them for a new one as that one was obviously rolled wrong. In many ways I do agree with the rollers that if it is sold as a cigar it should be smoked tho. If it is art then leave it and appreciate it as...

    Products Tax/Consumer Use notice...

    Yeah if a state doesn't have it's own tobacco tax there would be no reason to report to their state what was shipped out of state as they aren't paying tax on it anyways. I was thinking the same thing with NH as well.

    Lost my taste

    I would switch to cc's. I find too many NC's even not really powerful ones burn out my palate. I can smoke a lot of cigars but if smoking more then a couple a day they have to be CC's or I will only enjoy the first couple. I think most of us would have varying levels of what there burn out point...

    Double capped cigars.

    I here that but also believe no matter on caps there is always a head and a foot and they are determined by how the wrapper is applied. The mechanics of it just aren't intended to work the other way. Being a novelty I and by how bad the smoking experience was I am guessing that even while...

    Double capped cigars.

    It all depends on the roller. Which way they decided to put the wrapper on. There are very few cigars out there with caps on both ends as such there aren't any hard and fast rules as to which end to light. The roller just as easily could have started from the opposite end on some of the cigars...

    Double capped cigars.

    One of the reasons I know as it was a trick for getting extra cigars out of Cuba. Had a buddy ask for extra long cigars like 11" so they could later be cut in half and smoked separately. Roller told us no for those reasons then patched 2 cigars together for us instead.

    Double capped cigars.

    I earlier today read a review on a double capped cigars and laughed out loud about it being smoked backwards. I mentioned it to a few friends and they didn't know the answer either. That made me feel a bit like a dick so I figured I would share my thoughts on how to know what end to smoke. The...

    Way to keep BOTL in the review leader spot. Been looking for more reviews in both this and the 520 but not having a lot of luck.

    Cigar Smoking and Health Insurance

    The problem then becomes what is occasional. In my friends case he had declared that he was occasional but they are trying to find out exactly how much in an attempt to dodge. They knew he was but are just looking to have some one say I saw him smoke 2 cigars that week. I am a firm believer in...

    Cigar Smoking and Health Insurance

    Exactly and not worth it to your families future if something was to happen to you. We all try to be prepared for the worst then try to scrimp on something like this and put our families at risk. I smoke too much to try and sneak through on non smoker rates but after seeing what families can be...
