• 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)

    Started the day with an ELO3 - a bit much on an empty stomach... Moved on to a Litto Gomez Chisel Puro 08 - packed with flavor & a sneaky stick, felt like I needed a nap after.... The little lady & I split a Juan Lopez #2... Awesome...!! Finished with a gift from Russ back from Holts - a...

    Do you taste all the flavors in the cigar?

    I must not be as sophisticated as some... But try walking into a B&M and asking for something with hints of "lychee, capsicum, muscat or coltsfoot"... What defines a 'gutsy vintage'? How are colors & flavors "true to a place"? What place? Clint = that was too funny.. :hysterica

    Welcome to BOTL! So what have you been smoking?

    Need help quickly!

    Sounds fantastic! I've noticed the same with Bolivar - I never much cared for them. Always construction issues. The last couple of BF's from mid-late 08' were particularly good. I hope it's a trend towards better quality.

    Do you taste all the flavors in the cigar?

    Really well said Duane. Honestly - most of the time I don't pick up a lot either... But that is primarily due to the amount of attention I am paying to the smoke, even when I'm eally enjoying it. Often I am enjoying it with company, friends, scenery, etc. so my full attention is not on it...

    SCHIP Passage - What will you do?

    I'll keep on the best I can... .40 per stick isn't too bad, 8-10 hurts a little on boxes, but I'm always bargain hunting & know of plenty of value sticks out there that this doesn't deter me much at all.

    Anyone have any Six Sigma training?

    I'm the QS/ISO management representative for my company & we've found that companies that use Six Sigma, Kanban, Kiazan even most of the TS/ISO standards & management philosophies are typically more of a headache. There is some value in it if used properly, but it usually ends up having little...
