  • 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.

    Gots me a huntin' dog!

    My youngest, Bailey, qualified for his first leg of his Junior Hunter title today at a local Hunt Test. Tons of fun.

    Relative Humidity

    Hey, thank you, Randy. I still can't claim to understand the nitty gritty of what we are discussing, but I'm glad we have cleared things up. It just hit me last night while reading through things. I figured something else in the equation was changing that I wasn't paying attention to and...

    My Poor Neglected Cigars

    I don't know much about water pillows, but I'm going to say no. As far as I can tell, they won't be anywhere near accurate enough. At 48-50% RH, I have to agree with OrangeDog, they will most likely never come back to what they were. That doesn't mean un-smokeable, but they will not be what...

    Huh, those links came up weird.

    Randy, don't worry about my choice of words, bro'. One of my passions is debating so the word "argue" just kind of slips in when I'm "discussin'" things. I'm enjoying the hell out of this disucssion. I'm still having trouble understanding how you can say that the USA Today article is "wrong"...

    Relative Humidity

    Randy, Just found this equation on a Physic's discussion site (which by the way referenced the USA Today article as well!): We can argue over my use of the word "light" and "heavy" as those are really not the best terms when talking about density, but I can't find anything that refutes my...

    Relative Humidity

    I can't argue with that other than to say that it would be just about impossible to actually test this. First of all, Avogadro's law deals with "ideal gases". Second, it would be just about impossible to introduce beads into completely dry air and seal the system before any moisture is released...

    My newest dilemma-Hot Water Tank vs. Intant Hot?

    Wow. Didn't know they ran that much. Really wanted to do that here when the time came.

    Lancero Questions

    Keep a good list of possibilities open when planning for this Habanos SA does not always cooperate with the right date code on the right stick at the right time. You may need a second or third choice to get the right code.

    The confusion between body and strength

    My kinda smoke. I've never had too much of an issue with strength, but I don't smoke cigars for the nicotine.

    Relative Humidity

    I'll look into this more later, I do love me some good "discussion"! :wink: As to your analogy, off the top of my head I want to say yes, BUT. The "but" being that the travel'sor does not insulate the inside environment from temp changes. Nor are we talking about an environment that is strictly...

    The confusion between body and strength

    Good information!!! This is probably the most common misconception in describing cigars for newer smokers.

    PDR BOTL 2011 what if?

    This is just some harmless wishing.

    That quote came from a crapy "answer" site. Here's an article from USA Today. I'm not smart enough to try to prove this one way or the other, but the article does appear to be saying the same thing as my quote above: Link The above seems to contradict what you are saying, and I'm no...

    My Dream Humi-What ya think

    Dude. I wasn't aware. With the warning of: don't let the wife shoot you, I'm changing my vote to: you do need it.

    My Dream Humi-What ya think

    LOL about the WWNS comment. I understand COMPLETELY. Sorry, bro'. And just to help: YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER HUMI. ESPECIALLY ONE THAT EXPENSIVE! Now, go smoke a good cigar and think about something else! :ccowboy:

    PDR BOTL 2011 what if?

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of the above.

    Dprice makes a point. I'd still chew your nails and hold off until they'll take less, but he makes a point.

    Shilala HCM vs. HF beads

    Dude. You don't really think I'm following that link do you? At least not on my work computer! :grinFU:

    Hmmm. Thanks for the clarification. Though I would argue that we are both correct. Water vapor weighs less than "air".
