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.

Ways to hurt yourself while rolling cigars
So I found a different way to get hurt while rolling cigars. I've had small nicks, cut my palm when not paying enough attention....but tonight, tonight my chaveta slipped off the working surface. Having learned years ago not to catch a dropping knife, I let it go. It landed on my big toe... It...- Jim D

Ahhh, I never thought of upping the ligero with the BL but that makes perfect sense. Keep the slow burn in and out. Thanks for sharing the idea!- Jim D

Sounds like I'm in luck with the seco, I have both corojo and Nic habano secos. Since I've been enjoying sticks lately that are equal parts seco and ligero, no viso, I may just order the mata fina and see what happens.;):cigar:- Jim D

Adventures in home rolling
Thanks for the feedback Webmost, I'll be wrapping the 8 I bunched last night. I think I will just pull it as tight as I can to thin the leaf and keep it as,tight to the burn as possible. I'm hoping the old burn problems were due to that batch and being new at rolling. As that was 9 months ago...- Jim D

So my first stogies had burn issues. Partly, I think, because the binder was broadleaf and the wrapper was broadleaf. The other part was probably something I was doing wrong. Since then my sticks have been bound with LO Dominican binder and wrapped with LO Ecuador Shade Seco or Ecuador Ligero...- Jim D

Today's Bourbon
Eagle Rare tonight, so smooth I've had enough to be further in the bag than I've been in the last ten years. Yummy stuff! (On another note, my 9 year old whispered to Mommy " I hope this doesn't become a habit like cigars...") Reminds me of a saying from high school: "I'm not as think you drunk... -
