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.

Getting binders and wrappers to lie flat
I saw that blotching when using the chaveta to roll/smooth also. I stopped doing that and just try not to have any bumps in the bunch before putting the wrapper on now. Just a thought, Jim- Jim D

What would your last cigar be?
I'd go for one of the stogies I rolled with my son. We're saving them for his 18th birthday for now, but if knew it was to be my last, we might smoke em early! -
Pics of Your Sticks
@Hopduro the coloring and texture on these appear to be milk chocolate, have you been dipping your smokes in melted milky ways? Man they look smooth!- Jim D

For what it's worth... went back to the drawing board.
I assume you'd let them air out or sit in a humidor prior to lighting one that was saturated with pure oxygen, right? They'd probably burn pretty fast otherwise...- Jim D

Cigar Molds Thread
Is this something I should've been doing all along? Thanks for the advice. I will give this a try. Sunday will be my next night off. If I do this early Sunday night, I should be able to bag them Monday morning, leave them in the bags while working the next 4 or 5 nights, then roll em up. Is 4...- Jim D

Cigar Molds Thread
I tried this on my most recent batch. I think I should've let the leaves dry further before bunching them. After the 5 second swish, the leaves were laid on a paper towel on the counter and stacked. I should've found a way to lay them in a single layer. The bunching was easy but I can't draw...- Jim D

Sighted Man's Truth: The Circle of Leaf
With my schedule, I barely keep up with my smoking. I actually bought some commercial sticks just to avoid smoking my homerolls for a little. I'm going to try to build up some inventory to participate in the second round. This sounds awesome!- Jim D

Blend testing
Tried a new blend last night, gave it almost 12 hours of rest. 1 WLT Piloto Cubano Seco 1 WLT Corojo Viso 1 WLT Dominican Ligero Bound in Piloto Cubano Seco Wrapped with LO Brazilian Habano Viso (sold as filler, just a nice leaf) Was nice, I imagine it'll be great in a few months.- Jim D

Leaf long term storage
@Chrisso , you can order 1/4lb samples from Leaf Only to check out some variety you may be interested in. Also, it seems @webmost may have some ideas on long term storage...- Jim D

Show us your latest leaf purchase
I've not used the CT LS yet but had burn challenges with the CT1DW. Tasted great so the last bit of the sampler I had became strips of filler versus wrapper. No burn problems as filler.- Jim D

Meaning this 3rd pound is different from the first 2 pounds, or flojo as a whole is not what you thought it would be?- Jim D
