  • 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.

    Who is the most influential name in Cigars today?

    I guess popularity is a big part of influential. Popularity helps define trends so is a great part of influence. I know you are stuck on the Oliva thing and I think the main reason no one is agreeing with you is you never did give a name. Company name or family name that is in the back ground...

    Tatuaje SW Reserva or Tainos

    Really either will be a great cigar. Which ever one you get you will be happy with and next time grab the other. Posted via Mobile Device

    Who is the most influential name in Cigars today?

    I would love to vote for DPG or Pete but until I find a full box of the Don Carlos 75th's it has to be Fuente. Understand that my vote goes entirely to the one new cigar that I just can't find. May change next week. :) or tomorrow. Oh yeah and Pete's Opus tat helps me feel better about my...

    Canadian cigar retailers

    Getting stuff shipped in still comes with risks. You may still be nailed with duties or have the shipment siezed. The reason most retailer don't ship is it illegal to ship tobacco across provincial borders. Canada is not set up the same as the US where order from out of state allows you to...

    Tatuaje "The Face"

    Very cool looking cigar. I really should not be excited about it as with all the new fantastic reg production tats out but I am hoping it will be fantastic. Posted via Mobile Device

    humidity vs temperature

    I don't think that the temperature harms the cigars. My main issue with storing cigars at those temps is the risk of beetles. If you don't store that much or for that long I am sure it is not a problem. If you store a lot the thought of beetles and the need to freeze hundreds of boxes should...

    humidity vs temperature

    Not really loving that article. The guy talks like it is an absolute that below 68% your cigars will crack and break. I have stored my cigars at 65% for years without this concern. I pretty much stopped reading at that point. I gave up on paying attention to hard and fast rules like 70/70 years...

    How many unopened or full boxes of cigars are you currently storing?

    I went with more then 6. I am not really storing anyof them though. It is all just not being able to smoke quite as fast as I buy. Gonna try and slow down on the buying and catch up on the smoking for a bit though. Posted via Mobile Device

    Petite Tatuaje Reserva review

    They are reg productiom. Given a few more weeks the resuply should be almost opn its way. I think in a few months a the very least these should be pretty easy to find. Posted via Mobile Device

    Illusione Epernay Le Matin

    Dion had mentioned that for the box press he had to remove one leaf. Says it quite dramaticly changes the flavour. I am looking for ward to the box pressed 888. There is also a box pressed 4/2g as well. Posted via Mobile Device

    CC that are awesome ROTT.

    A little of this changes with every year. But for me I have always had a thing for fresh Trinidad Reyes. Almost prefer them to aged ones

    Got beetles boys

    I had beeltes when my cigars hit 75 for a week. They were only in 3 cigars all from the same boxes. Guapos Junior. I ended up only having to freeze about 300 sticks to feel comfortable. But now store everything at 65 just to be safe and not have to worry. I am just glad I didn't have to freeze...

    Patches on the wrappers?

    I don't know why but I have been noticing quite a few patches on the wrappers lately. I am not sure if I just never noticed them before but now am. I guess what hass been suprising me most is the cigars the patches have been on. Today I had a Pork tenderloin with a small patch covering where...

    Wow factor cgars - cigars that unexpectedly hit the spot!

    There are a few for me. 2005 DPG Habano Oscuro robusto, 06 Noella Reserva, Don Carlos Anni, Pepin made Padilla Miama lancero's, and Illusione Mk's. All of these I expected to be good but they were all wow sticks for me. Posted via Mobile Device

    Quantity Affecting Taste Poll

    I find NC's much harder on my palette then CC's. Smoking well age sticks in Havana I can still be amazed by the 10th stick of the day. For Nc's anything over 3 or 4 and my palette gets pretty numb. Doesn't always mean I stop smoking though. Posted via Mobile Device
