• 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.

    davidoffs

    I like the Davidoffs too, The Special R, Millenium (almost too rich tasting), the LE's & the Claro are all wonderful. Unfortunately, at $15-20+ each, I don't smoke them often. I agree with Matt - the signature taste (mustiness/ mushrooms) is an aquired taste & personally, I wouldn't want to...

    Weed Superstore

    Part of me says 'good for them', another is a bit leary. I have no problem with pot, though I choose not to indulge... My problem is with the blatant legal 'loopholing'... It's so phony getting 'medical' marijuana. People use it to get high (95% of the time). A friend was in CA last weekend &...

    Tongue Bite

    :thumbsup: That's interesting - I've never been attracted to the aromatics, but I've had a few lightly cased blends like Bob's Chocolate Flake, DVC or other cavandish's. Bob's was smooth, but I've had a few cavandishes that were so distasteful, it made me empty out the bowl before it was...

    Bad news ...

    Nate - sorry to hear about the forced move. Hopefully the short-term inconvenience will be outweighed by an incredible experience living in such a foriegn land! I too would find the family part most difficult - I'm pretty close with most of my family in general (except my bro's...

    La Flor Dominicana Air Bender es bien!

    Just picked up a few (2 robustos & 1 double robusto) from Atlantic last night! Can't wait to try one! I didn't realize it had the habano wrapper on it that was put on the Salomone & the Habana Corona & Habana Perfecto - Now I'm even more excited to try it!

    Tongue Bite

    I've heard that from a number of other people also - but interestingly enough, I don't ever get bit by Virginia's. It's something about the agressive spice (maybe it's the wood stock used in the 'smoking' process of curing the latakia leaf) that they use in GLP particularly that I must be weary...

    Tongue Bite

    I was craving some Latakia last night & dug up some GL Pease Odyssey and some Esoterica Margate (to compare each other), both of which (when smoked slowly) are wonderful, classic 'english' blends... The Margate I found extreemly smooth but needless to say - I was a bit hasty (with the Odyssey) &...

    looking for review

    They are really really good. Top marks on aesthetics, construction, burn, draw, not to mention the complex (though medium strength) flavors and smoke. They are excellent & I hope an indicator for what's to come...

    Best Tat you've ever smoked

    A shag foot Jibaro. Then maybe the Frank - I have yet to try the NR06.

    Cooler Humidity Advice

    I have a few overflowing coolers - I simply put my beads in unscented panty hose & tie the ends off, all sticks are stored in boxes (many are mixed) and use spare cedar from boxes to fill in gaps - I have a hygrometer in each to monitor things that reads mid-sixties year-round. I also keep...

    Your Crown Jewel???

    I guess I have a few, all of which were given or traded to me by BOTL's. There are many, but a few notables would be: Cohiba Sublime Extra, Cuban Davidoff, Presidential Graycliff...

    "CIGARS" on customs document

    This was the response I got from a non-swiss vendor (that ships in swiss package & is now labeling): "All shipments are required by customs to have upon their exterior a label stating the exact contents and the value of the parcel, lack of adherence to this regulation, risks confiscation of...

    "CIGARS" on customs document

    Yes - it's a new regulation. A few friends have recieved at least a half dozen in with the new labeling. Makes me nervous though.
