• 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.

    5 Vegas Cask-Strength

    Cello: Yea or Nea?

    Yeah, I do. I know I shouldn't, but I've never had one in there longer than a few days... If I did, I'd stash it in the small Tupperdor I made before I got my "real" humi...

    Band ON or OFF??? That is the question

    Me too. If it's the first cigar I've tried of that type, I stick it to the corkboard in my office... I take the band off even if it's not, though.

    Some good ones

    "One day a little boy wrote to Santa Claus, 'Please send me a sister.' Santa Claus wrote him back, 'Okay, send me your mother.'" ------------------------- This is actually the only one I hadn't heard already. But it was good!
