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.

What kind of piles? Like filler only, possible wrapper, and such? Or like darkest leaves to lightest?- Jim D

That's the case, maybe it'll get better further into the stack. These first ones are small and crinkly.- Jim D

I haven't mastered the sorting out yet. Usually, I take out just over what I plan on using for a session, case and clean that alone, leaving the rest resealed in the original packaging. I may just be lazy regarding the sorting. I'd need bags for each leaf variety and their assorted stacks vice...- Jim D

Is it normal to get this much sand off mata fina? That's after the first run through flattening them out some had already been cleaned up. This is the second time flattening/smoothing and cleaning the crevices. I will snap another pic after a couple more leaves... Edit added more pics: This...- Jim D

FLASH POLL: IN OR OUT?
99% outside, 1% in a cigar lounge. There are not enough hours in the week to drive 30 minutes to a B&M, smoke for an hour plus, and take another 30 minute ride home. Working "12hr" shifts that are closer to 13hrs at a job 45 minutes from home means there is not time for a B&M. -

That'd be awesome, if the wife wouldn't crucify me right afterwards! I'll will take the advice though and upon opening these will cheroot the first one. If I wasn't helping the kids with homework, I'd have made one for the ridea to work in the am. Hell, maybe I should make one now for the...- Jim D

What tea are you drinking?
^ Sounds good K. I've been enjoying a variety of brands black tea (Typhoo, tetley, lipton loose leaf and some seasonals.) The loose leaf is the newest to me and much nicer flavors, crisper maybe. Enjoy, Jim- Jim D

Leaf Deals
Ok, so I couldn't order the mata fina and pay shipping for that alone....I added piloto seco and Dominican ligero. Should have plenty of variety to last me a while. No where near as much as @webmost 40 pounds stashed, but enough for now.;)- Jim D
