  • 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.

    Paul Stulac Cigars?

    Think a few people on here have met Paul before at IPCPR in NO. I wasn't sure till I went to the home page for these and saw a buddy of mine from Toronto on the page.

    Cuban vs Non Cuban

    Depends on where you shop but in Havana I can find some pretty amazing Robusto's for $5. I think PSD 4 or about 6 there as well. Posted via Mobile Device

    Cuban vs Non Cuban

    I half agree with you that the spice in many Nica cigars is overpowering for my tastes but will say that tends to dissapear after time and turn into more complex flavours I love. Not a fan of young DPG blue but 06 is amazing. They seem to age almost as well as cc's for me. Am excited to see what...

    Avallo 2000 Ordered!!!

    The accumonitor set up will stabilize it in no time. They are great worry free humidors that compared to anything else I have dealt with are very easy to maintain. Posted via Mobile Device

    How many cigars consecutively?

    I will smoke 8+ every day in Havana. I find that I can smoke way more CC's in a row and enjoy them then NC's. Even mild to medium NC's trash my palet more then full bodied CC's. And if the cigars are aged even better.

    Holiday Haul

    Yeah still cringe at the thought J. Our customs agents here are usually pretty friendly and forgiving when I pass through but we don't really have any crazy rules like you guys do. Again I am guessing that they all shake their heads when I am done going through saying that poor simple man is...

    Holiday Haul

    Well that is 50 per person and it is never a good idea to try and sneak them in as if they catch you lying then you are screwed. My standard is the old I bought them on the beach for $1 a stick. Playing dumb seems to be the best way of getting through with more. Posted via Mobile Device

    Empty Humidor

    Best recommendation is to go into a B&M with a good selection and try a lot of different things. Then once you have some surefire favourite look to load up. We will all have different favourites and one of the worst mistakes when getting into cigars is buying a lot you may not like later...

    Best issue of Cigar Afficianado ever?

    Gotta say when I first go into cigars I looked forward to every new issue then kinda lost interest. Have to say tho I saw this issue at the store today so had to pic it up. All of the resteraunt recomendations are places I have been to and all around is a great story of where to stay, eat and...

    Cohiba 1966?

    These $700 a box in Alberta so I would expect that the online prices should drop to $300ish online given a bit of time. Posted via Mobile Device

    The Constant Dilemma

    Used to to be there too. Now have swung full circle. If I won't smoke it within the next year then I gift it away. Getting down to the last one makes me rush even more as otherwise I feel like I am playing hockey cards with them and collecting to say I have it not to enjoy them. Posted...

    Cigar Pronunciation... a rant.

    So I have loked at this thread with a few different thoughts. First as far as I know Shakespeare didn't write in spanish so do we chastise people for the spansih pronuciation? I have a buddy who is a guide in Cuba. One of his best customer is named Roger Coto ends up saying it as Royer. Now do...

    Cuba - Legally

    I agree that coming through Canada is not a good way to do it most of the time. If you could get a license to travel to Cuba on your own without going through a tour operator then it would easily be the best way to go. I have no idea how that is done but would love to meet up with some BOTL's in...

    Cuba - Legally

    Cuba has started enforcing the fact that all tourists into the country have out of country medical insurance. After Sicko came out and Michael Moore extolled the virtues of the Cuban medical system many tourist were hoping to go there and get free medical care. The problem being that while Cuba...

    Davidoff

    I am not at all a fan of the flavour profile of Davidoff's. I agree with Bob and the taint. I find it is entirely to do with Kelner. I dont seem to like anything he blends find some like Avo's don't have quite as much Taint as others but the Winston Churchills I think I only made it through a...
