• 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.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    What a day - started with a LFD Cheroot, moved on to an Illusione ECCJ 15th, then finished the day with a Tatuaje Jibaro. That Jibaro was incredible! Perfect draw & burn, awesome flavors & nice kick too... Thank you for making that wish come true! (You know who you are!) (And if...

    What stimulates your desire to smoke a cigar

    I definitely dig the narcotic effect that cigar smoking has. I don't want to say that I'm addicted, cause I've been addicted to things before & this hobby/habit pales in comparison. That said, I do see OCD tendencies come out when I want something. I'll smoke 2 a day & occasionally up to 4 or...
