• 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.

    Cello: Yea or Nea?

    Yikes. How can I NOT argue with them? I don't keep my smokes at 70% either (not that I'm going to say it's WRONG), but suggesting I keep them at higher than 70%? Not a chance in hell. Gotta say I'm very surprised to see such a mainstream manufacturer suggesting such a thing. I've certainly...

    Executives Take on Top 10 Cigars

    I hope no one's paying for any of the advice/info coming from that website. Holy crap. Any list that puts an NC version of Montecristo in a top 10 list when they have the Cuban version to choose from is obviously off their rocker. And that's just one little tiny thing wrong with that list...

    What's for dinner?

    Wow, that sounds A-MAZING! I have to thank RyJ Smoker once again for his Riesling mushroom and zucchini post. My wife is a vegetarian, so it's tough sometimes to cook for both of us. I picked up a couple of packages of mixed mushrooms from the grocery store the other day. Threw them in with...

    rockets or real

    Great reviews guys! One thing I might change if I were to do something like this would be to have all the reviews emailed/pm'ed to me to be posted en masse. Reason: to keep others reviews from influencing others. Love the concept, though!

    Opinions Needed: Upmman PC vs. No.4 vs. No.2

    Hopefully you'll get some more feedback here, but here's something that might help: Cigars-review.org, H. Upmann page

    How to fend off an angry mob

    Love it! Thanks for the laugh.

    Opinions Needed: Upmman PC vs. No.4 vs. No.2

    Again, I can't speak to the PC, and I do hope someone who has experience with all of the cigars can chime in for you, but with Cuban Brands the profile had BETTER be similar within the brand. It's kind of how things work in that world. Tastes will vary for sure, but the overall flavor profile...

    Opinions Needed: Upmman PC vs. No.4 vs. No.2

    Taste varies based on size and shape of cigar as well. If you like the H. Upmann profile overall, you will most likely enjoy either, but beyond that I have had neither, so I can't help. I'm sure we'll get some H. Upmann connoisseurs to chime in soon enough. :thumbsup: Grouchy today, Steve? :wink:

    Wineador trays: Shallow, deep or shelves?

    Looks like mine from the pictures. Does it have the three buttons on top to either manually adjust temperature (up to 65 degrees) or for Red/White settings? Wow, 7 drawers. Yikes. When you are talking "doubles" I assume that means that generally speaking they hold two cigars deep (top to...

    Jury Duty......

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Gotcha. :thumbsup:

    Opinions Needed: Upmman PC vs. No.4 vs. No.2

    The No. 2 is a piramide. Just to be sure we are on the same track? I only ask because that's a pretty big difference, PC versus Piramide.

    Wineador trays: Shallow, deep or shelves?

    Wow, those look great! Is the top piece actually a cover or is that a shelf just sitting on top?

    Destin? That's not Florida. That's Flabama or something. :wink: Happy early B-Day, enjoy yourself! :thumbsup:

    Jury Duty......

    You guys lost me. Why wouldn't they put you on a jury?

    I'm sorry guys if my post started anything. It was not meant as a bash.

    Jury Duty......

    I've gotten one notice, couldn't comply due to a previous engagement. Wouldn't mind getting called and actually sitting on a jury. Think it would be interesting.

    Gotta give the guy this, he knows how to sell.

    Help me pick the best picture

    I chose 4a with the same concern. I like the picture, but the light on the bands hurts the picture. Is it just me, or is there something...oddly sensual about these pictures? I don't know why, but it brings to mind intertwined bodies. Maybe I'm just in a strange frame of mind this morning, lol.
