  • 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.

    HOPZ™ Craft Beer Cigar

    Isn't it easier to just have a beer with your cigar? This just seems a little too gimmicky to me. I am a big bourbon fan as well but still haven't tried the makers mark cigars. I love hoppy beers but will leave these for the lovers of acid and other flavoured cigars. Posted via Mobile Device

    "My Father" Special Edition Humidor

    While I kinda like it there are a few things I have issues with. I really don't like the vertical placement as it wastes a ton of space so that it will really hold less then half of what it should. Second it really limits it in usefulness if you wanted to refill it later. Third issue is that...

    Birthday Smoke

    They are all different smokes. I like the GOF when I am looking for a lighter more complex smoke. I know people say opus is better aged but I love all opus fresh or aged. But be prepared for a much more full bodied smoke. The Anarchy didn't really work for me but many enjoy it. Which ever you...

    Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona opinions (recent year)?

    Haven't smoked any newer releases but the Hoyo DC is my favorite DC. I am still smoking from some 5x3's from 03 that are fantastic. Posted via Mobile Device

    Humidor Pics! Lets see em!

    that is villager's first Foray into premium cigars. Can't remember who makes them for them but it is a fairly well known maker at least if I remember correctly. Posted via Mobile Device

    Favorite Pairings?

    For me it will never be the same thing all the time. Last year I smoke a 97 Sancho Panza Sancho with. a bottle of Barolo and it was amazing. Not a huge wine guy so the wine did wonders for the cigar even if not the same the other way around. Posted via Mobile Device

    resting a pipe

    I don't smoke a pipe very often but I usually try to let them rest at least a day or two between bowls. Given the choice I generally let them rest a week in between ( part of the reason I don't smoke too often). I would also say that most would prefer to keep similar blends to a pipe. So...

    First and Last cigars in your stash

    I love the experience of smoking sticks I may never see again. Each cigar is an experience and I am not willing to wait to see how they may or may not turn out. I try to smoke the best I have whenever I have the time to truly enjoy it.

    Ever had or heard of a Punch Trabuco?

    And these are not Habanos releases. They may have some factory support behind them which will help with quality tobacco but still not a much more then a custom from any of the rollers in Havana. Only brands I have seen come banded that were not released through Habanos are some VR farmies with...

    Ever had or heard of a Punch Trabuco?

    I don't know of any cigars bigger then the Behike 56 that are part of Cuba's reg production. I do know a few rollers in Havana that specialize in the huge sticks but they would not even have bands to be tied to a brand.

    Opus X Perfextion No.4

    I am sorry to hear about your plugged cigar. Opus is generally the cigar I give to CC smokers to show them how good construction can be. First thing they do is grab it and give it the Pinch test only to find out it is hard as a rock. They almost always tell me it won't draw but I convince them...

    How cold is too cold to sit outside and smoke?

    I don't smoke outside. This goes right back to the fact that cigars are a luxury for me and as such if I can not full enjoy it I am not doing it. some times I smoke less then I would like because of this but it also helps me not feel like addicted cigarette smoker. :) Posted via Mobile...

    NC vs CC

    Not trying to pick on any cigars but I have tried most of those and the only one I would choose to re smoke is the Oliva V series. The Pepin CC are not bad but they need more time then a real cuban before they are enjoyable to me. Not that any of them are bad cigars but if you take price out...

    NC vs CC

    I think the biggest thing you said here I pointed out. There are a lot of guys who smoke only/mostly NC cigars and still don't look for the cheapest thing out there. I am sure there are lots of sticks that are worth the $4 a stick, doesnt mean I want to smoke them. Taste buds may go into...

    Another Humidor/Storage question

    Yeah they list it at 3K sticks. With room for decent airflow and possibly a little room for displaying cigars and you will be fullish at not much over 1k sticks. I don't know how long you have been smoking or collecting but I remember the days being not that long ago that I thought I would never...
