  • 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.

    Check Yourself Buddy...

    It rarely does any good to point out the fakes unless someone is planning to buy more or trade them. I try to be humble & I try not to offer up unsolicited advise. A friend was smoking the last Fohiba he picked up on his honeymoon - who am I to tarnish his enjoyment while reflecting on good...

    Let's see... Had a C Siglo VI, before seeing Avatar in 3d at the Imax in Manhattan... Then ate some interesting Brazilian cuisine (including alligaotor & chicken hearts)... Finished up the evening with a MF Le Bijou PR.

    New Year Resolutions

    Better diet I guess. I lost 20lbs last year, I'd like to do another 20 this year. Things I look forward to this year would include: a trip to Austin, Texas sometime this summer & a trip to North Conway, NH.

    Somebody call Van Helsing...

    Oh I agree - I was thinking of the draw though. All of mine were good, even too-easy of a draw. In my experience, that can have a dramatic effect on the flavor(s). Good honest review! X2

    Somebody call Van Helsing...

    Sounds like you got a dud. Of the half-dozen or so that I've had, two burned unevenly, but all of them tasted good to me. I wouldn't describe them as 'classic' either. But they are fun, unique and top quality components. Just my $ 0.02.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    My last smoke of '09 was the Opus Lost City robusto (loved it!), while the wifey smoked her Love Affair.

    What's Your First Cigar Of 2010?

    Technically, the first cigar I lit was an AF 858R, but I handed it to my wife and lit up 'my' stick: a Viaje Holiday Blend.

    my weekend toy

    Mint!!! My wife has a fascination with the Bus: always wanted to deck one out... We could have picked up a great one a few years back, but it just wasn't 'practical' at the time... Someday... :driving:

    Actually, I thought 60r = 1". Brands to get familiar with: Pepin, Tatuaje, Arturo Fuente, Padron, La Flor Dominica.... Stick around & keep reading, then try a few & see what characteristics stand out to you... There are many threads here about favorite cigars, economy smokes, etc...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    First up was my last LFD DL cameroon-wrapped lancero. I noticed there was a small tear in the wrapper at the foot: cameroon is known to be delicate... So I cremated it this morning. It was goooood.
