  • 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.

    Cigars just as bad as Cigarettes

    LOL. So true. You never hear the Marlboro Man complimenting Joe Camel on the aroma of his smoke :)

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Hittin' up a 2009 Liberty. Always liked these and they're getting better :)

    Favorite Cigar smoker

    Rocky Patel? Nah, wait... how about Castro. Anyone who can create a sensational brand with the wave of his hand is pretty impressive and my favorite :)

    Does the price of a smoke affect your enjoyment?

    Price used to affect my expectations for sure and maybe my enjoyment to some extent. Not so much anymore though. I like several mid-priced nc's as much as the higher end stuff. Some that come to mind are Torano Tribute, LADC, and Oliva V. Regular Padrons are very comparable to the Padron...

    Products Tax/Consumer Use notice...

    C'mon man...the Mass libs are amateurs compared to my homies out here in the Golden State. Two words...Nancy Pelosi. Top that!:facerub: California would collect a tax like this if they could afford to. Problem is, they don't have enough money to hire people to write the collection letters and...

    Just had my first hit of Scotch. Yikes!

    Damn... the opinions are varied. Much like the taste preference with cigars. I can't detect some of the flavors that some brothers detect with cigars, so I'll assume it's the same with alcohol. If I can just lure jwintosh into my lair, I'm sure he'll help me with the bottle :) edit: I drank...

    Just had my first hit of Scotch. Yikes!

    I'll try Maker's next. Costco has Maker's 46. Is that even smoother than regular Maker's? It costs more, that's for sure.

    That's good on you, Fia :). Btw, I noted that you're a Xikar guy. I have a brand new Wave cutter that was a freebie from a retailer when I bought a box. It's been sitting in my cigar drawer for two years. It's yours if you want it. PM your addy if you want it.

    Just had my first hit of Scotch. Yikes!

    I'm starting to like it a little more, actually. I was repulsed at first, but it's not as bad right now. I got a little buzz going, so maybe that's the trick, eh? :). I'm smoking a DC Maximus robusto, btw. It seemed to me that the dark wrapper and strength would work with scotch..

    Just had my first hit of Scotch. Yikes!

    tt You're right on. I don't drink others straight, so makes sense that I'm having a tough time here. I just had to try it. I had the impression that it was sort of magic elixir :) oh well, I'll finish this glass and just stash the rest of the bottle. Someone will drink it eventually

    Just had my first hit of Scotch. Yikes!

    I've never tried scotch - before today. I bought The Macallan 12 because it got good reviews here for being a good first scotch to try. I also took the advice of a botl and put a couple of ice cubes in the glass.... I've taken a few hits and it is simply KILLING me. It tastes real bad. Like I...

    are courts just not busy enough anymore?

    I work in a courtroom for a superior court judge in Cali. A story like this is not typical, but I wouldn't bat an eye if I saw it on a court calendar. There are a whole lot of lawyers here in the good ol' US of A. They need to feed their families, right? :)

    Been a while gents, here's what I've been doing

    That's great work my man! A co-worker of mine has grown his own stuff and rolled some. He's doing a great job, but yours look much better. Most of his are plugged and bland, but he keeps trying and he's having a blast doing it. I admire him for trying, and he's getting better at it over the past...

    Griz Charges Tourists

    That's another humorous aspect of the video. I'm not convinced these people were aware that they shouldn't run... I think they just froze and got lucky :) But, hey, who knows?

    I hate Newegg.com

    I've been a Prime Member (free 2 day shipping) for years. I love Amazon. However, you still need to compare prices if you're a budget bastard like me. They have almost everything, and almost always the best price, with superb reliability.

    I hate Newegg.com

    This happened to me before, too. Not at Newegg, but another electronics retailer. I know how incredibly frustrating it is. Sorry to hear. You mentioned Amazon...I bought all of the parts for my high-end desktop several months ago at Amazon with 2-day shipping. Absolutely no problems with Amazon...

    if i had only known...

    I agree....this would be my regret, too. Maybe the Oliva MB1 as well. I had a fiver of the MB1 about four years ago and it was one of the best fivers I've ever smoked.:smokingbo
