  • 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.

    Pick my Birthday Cigar!

    Serious? Some cigars are definitely more consistant than others. Maybe it's just me, but some cigars just always burn right & deliver flavor, while others it does seem to burn poorly, have a poor draw or have freak-flavor everytime I light up. I've had a few Padron maduro 1926 #35's that...

    Smoking Frequency and Body

    I don't know, but when I smoked less, I preferred a milder cigar. It wasn't until I began smoking on a more regular basis that I developed (or required) a taste for more full-bodied cigars. When I revist a stick that I used to like, I often find it bland & boring. I also remember the first time...

    Newibie and His cigars

    Spot on Mitch. (Except that last part - I think you meant to say "Until you learn... good cigars [may] start out bad & get worse." I did that years ago & ended up with a few boxes I didn't end up smoking. So 'this time' around (early last year), I only purchased singles or doubles and in...

    Priceless!

    Ummm... What is it that you do again? Cool experience! I've seen Ozzy a dozen times, but never got around to seeing AC/DC - great band, just got sick of hearing them on constant heavy radio rotation - I think that AC/DC should right a song called "Radio Can't Kill Rock n' Roll"! I wish I...

    Look at the bright side

    Right on Ron. I like the positive attitude - Another boom IS around the corner. This is just what we need to tighten our belts & appreciate what we do have instead of constantly chasing the next thing. I'm as guilty as any - taking for granted things, over-consumption & living in a spoiled...

    The OPUS are here!!!

    The Petite Lanceros are probably my favorite too (out of the four or five different sizes I've had). I'll keep my eye out for the A's Mitch (and anything else I can find)!

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Had a Case Magna on an empty stomache. What a nic buzz. On the block for tonight is a Hemingway Signature to split with the wife on the way to dinner & maybe an El Triunfador for after dinner.

    The Anejo's are here!

    I'll admit I'm spoiled. But I prefer the vendor who limits how many you buy to give everyone a chance to try a limited stick rather than intentionaly over-charge just because a few people will pay it.

    The Anejo's are here!

    What do you call it when a B&M sells for three times MSRP? BTL for $35, Anejo 46 for $25. (Before tax). I left without even buying what I originally went there for.

    H. Upmann Magnum 50's opinions

    limited edition The Magnum 50 was originally a limited edition release in 2005. It was only put into regular production this year? Someone want to back me up or correct me? (Haven't had either - but the Mag 46 is great & keeps getting better.)

    G.A.R.'s

    What do you mean by facing? What about Illusione? Was that a stick with one facing? Some took a a chance on it & it became hugely succesful. Granted, Illusione is a freakishly good stick (not trying to compare the two). Either way - I wouldn't get them unless you 'believe' in them - You gotta...
