  • 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.

    Maker's Mark 46 question

    Didn't realize it was a link...my bad. Funny chit :) I'm gonna try to take the civilized route with this stuff at first ( neat, proper glass, etc.). It's gonna get ugly from there, me thinks :)

    Maker's Mark 46 question

    I'll go neat on this, at least initially. Thanks Gents! The stones are definitely an option. I found this thread with some mixed opinions on them: http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php/59772-Whiskey-stones-deal?highlight=stones

    UPS Store pricing

    The $18.80 price was for USPS Priority. That was their cheapest option (sorry, didn't mention that in the first post. The quoted price was not my only option, just the cheapest). The box I used was not a USPS box. Perhaps that made a difference. It was still a shock.

    Maker's Mark 46 question

    I'm not a big bourbon drinker, but I bought a large bottle of MM 46 at Costco for $29 today (looked like a good deal). Question: Is this stuff the type of booze you drink neat or would mixing it with Coke or Coke Zero be a waste of a premium swill? Just curious. I checked their website and it...

    UPS Store pricing

    There's a UPS Store next to my neighborhood grocery store, so it's very convenient. I boxed up a 10 cigar troop bomb in a box slightly larger than the small USPS Priority box that is available through USPS (the box we use for fivers). I knew it would cost more to send it through UPS Store than...

    L'Atelier LAT46 SS

    Precisely! So many great cigars out there - you really have to make some sacrifices if you don't want to expand your storage options. The premium cigar market is chock-full of great product. Wouldn't it be nice if all consumer goods were this flush with excellence? :) I'll get a box of...

    Cigar History

    I read The Ultimate Cigar Book by Richard Hacker last Summer. Lots of good history from different regions. You can get it at Amazon (used) for about $7. I really enjoyed it.

    Posting while intoxicated!

    I ended up at a gay bar today in Hilllcrest (work get-to-gether thang). It was actually pretty fun. nobody tried to convert me, which was nice, and the music was KILLER! Gay bars make great Long Islands :)

    Remember what you have smoked

    I agree, but I don't buy singles, so there are inevitably some cigars in my humi that I didn't like the first time.

    Remember what you have smoked

    I've found that often if I don't like a cigar, and then try it again a year later, I miraculously like it. That has happened to me numerous times. I can't explain it.

    I've been cleared....

    Way to go, man! You got a 3-fer. Recovery from surgery, weight loss, and you can smoke again. Can't beat that :)
