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.

Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?
So my RIS attempt finished up and is now in the keg with 12oz flaked coconut and 2oz cocoa nibs. The Yorkshire couldn't quite take the ABV as high as I wanted before conking out but did manage to get up to 7.5% with a 1.034 FG. I love this yeast for malt forward brews but big beers just isn't... -
If you like these .....
A few you may also enjoy.... Oliva El Cobre - good price point and IMO has similar profile to the AB Black Market Kristoff Ligero maduro - flavor profile is still in the same range but a bit richer and heavier on the cocoa. Very smooth. San Lotano maduro lancero - again still in the same... -
The Chase
I hear that. After all the releases the past 2 years Im burnt out on the constant next new thing all the time. I like LEs and pick up the ones that catch my interest but Ive had to pass on a lot of stuff as of late because the number of new releases has gotten overwhelming at this point. I'd... -

Hope everyone's having a happy Tat Tuesday. Just lit a T110 redux to celebrate. -
Adventures in home rolling
Pretty comparable as far as how they smoke and taste but maybe not in terms of hitting all the minor details I expect from a commercially rolled cigar. Theres a lot of experimenting and tweaking though so not every cigar or blend I put together turns out good. Ive put together some blends that...- HIM*

How Social Media Has Changed Cigars
I think its certainly changed things for me and I'm sure for many others in the same way. My stash has become way more diverse and stocked full of much better cigars since I joined cigar forums. I doubt I'd have found some of the brands and cigars I love without these boards. -
Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?
Playing with some new malts while working on an English brown recipe and brewed the first batch yesterday. Color is spot on nut brown and the sample smelled pretty good I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Heres what I threw together.... Batch Size - 5.25 OG - 1.050 FG - 1.014 IBU -... -

Keep in mind how much leaf they get at a time though. When your buying an entire crops worth you should be getting a better price.- HIM*

Adventures in home rolling
So Im looking to make the best of a bad situation here and looking for some thoughts. I accidentally dropped a Tennessee Waltz busting the wrapper up beyond repair and instead of letting such fine leaf go to waste Im going to wrap it with something and see how it goes. Anyone thats smoked that...- HIM*

Not the USPS's finest hour
Hopefully things work out for you. I just got my order from Smallbatch today but still haven't heard back from C Fed yet. -
What are your Top 3 in 2015?
1. Tatuaje Mardi Gras Attacks - still holding the top spot of smoke of the year so far for me. Just a freaking ridiculously good cigar. 2. Crowned Heads TAA 15 - completely blows the LC15 out of the water IMO. Not even in the same league. 3. Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Fox Exclusive - if you... -

Second Ezra Zion from the Blending Sessions bundle. Much much better than the first sample I smoked. I'm actually not sure what they didn't like about this blend. -
Viaje Full Moon
its been a while but I remember liking the Honey and Hand Grenades as well as a few of their lances. Nothing life changing though. -
5 Days of TAA's.
Down to my last 5er. These have been great and just gotten better and better over the years. -
Not the USPS's finest hour
I generally don't like ripping vendors but it shouldn't take over 2 weeks to let customers know something they ordered and payed for isn't in stock. That's just bad business. But lesson learned I'll order through my usual vendors this time.
