  • 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.

    Torcedor Santos

    Yes they do. And not just to LCDH's but they will send them to a distributors around the world. We have had a few different ones here. Recently it has been Hamlet doing a lot of the western canadian stores due to the fact the he speaks english well enough to not need a translator. Many years ago...

    I have heard this before, when a well respected member from here sent me a PM asking for more info on Santos. He was told by John himself. Posted via Mobile Device

    Torcedor Santos

    Santos works at the Hotel Comodoro cigar store. He is the one on the right hand side of this photo. This picture was taken at the grand opening of the LCDH in the Habana Libre hotel. It was a rolling competition that he won. Hamlet is next to him and I dont remember the other 2 rollers off...

    Left my cigars in my car...

    They may be entirely fine it just isn't worth the risk. What is the humidity like there these days? Chances are you won't have any humidity problems at all.

    Get reservations at la Guriada when you can. Fantastic place decent wine list and great food. Just ignore the bombed out look on the way in. And make sure Hamlet rolls you some flying pigs. Posted via Mobile Device

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    The Dunhill was amazing. Cedar spice and tons of complexity. All of the thousand series is well past it's prime but was still had a great aroma and some interesting flavours after the first third. The Cigar Family was similar to the Davi in that it was quite mild and was more about the aroma...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Well I figured I would pull out all the stops just in case the rapture came today. Started off with a Dunhill Varadero, then a Cuban Davidoff 2000 and finally a Cigar Family Torpedo. May try and get a post rapture smoke in tonight Posted via Mobile Device

    Camping w/cigars

    I like this Idea. I know it sounds bad but I always have some emergency sticks in my trunk and they never stay there for more the a week or 2 but temps can spike quite high and have never really had any issues. They don't go back into my main humi's after that and even tho they may not be in...

    i hate it when...

    Oh man I cringed the other day when I passed $90 for a fill. I having to double swipe the CC when it shuts down. I was lucky and it was only a $97 fill but I don't have some huge gas guzzler truck I only drive a car. But $1.39/L can kill you.

    Anybody quit cigarettes, wait a while, then start cigars?

    I smoked cigarettes for 15 years. I quit because even though I still loved to smoke I only really enjoyed 4 cigarettes a Day and smoked the rest of the pack out of habit. I quit cigars as well for 3 years but as I said before I loved to smoke so cigars were able to fill that void. I love that...

    Smoked my first aged opus x last night...

    That will happen as well just the aging time needs to be longer. The 40 year old sticks I have smoked have not had much for nicotine left in them and were quite mild. That said the flavour was there, not the same but there. The become more delicate and complex with that much time on them...

    Smoked my first aged opus x last night...

    With you here. SOme cigars are strong enough to kick your ass even on a full stomache. There can be quite a bit of nicotine ingested without inhaling the smoke itself. And while I am a big fan of aged cigars many great cigars will get better with age but sometimes a fresh cigar just fits the...

    What are your top 3 "by the box only" smokes?

    If I could source these regularly enough to smoke them that fast these may have made the list. Would prefer Pussycats by the box but would settle for #5's as well. Posted via Mobile Device

    Cuban Limited Editions

    All of the EL use a 3 year aged sungrown wrapper I believe. It does tweak the blend vs reg line and some may not like it. Once it has had some time to settle they can be quite good the OR D3's are great, I really like the wrapper on the short robo T and it was fantastic from right on the rolling...

    Does the ash tell a story?

    Ok I am mostly with Justin on this. The info I know is the small bumps come from a toothy wrapper. If you pay close attention this is most common on Cameroon wrappers. The bumps become almost more obvious on the ash then the wrapper. My thoughts on colour are I love the looks of a perfect white...
