  • 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.

    Favorite chick rocker...

    Music-wise, Tarja Turunen of Nightwish. Check this out. Long, but worth it: 0VF0BlXP-0Y Looks-wise, hard to vote against Lorraine Lewis...

    Cut Preference

    I like bigger cigars, and I use a punch cutter on those. Smaller rings (say, 44 and under) I use a guillotine cutter.

    What is your favorite drink with your stick?

    Yeah... like everyone else, it depends on the stick and the circumstances. Usually it's whiskey on the rocks, but if it's cold outside a big mug of coffee is good too. I had a Tatiana Mocha once with a nice, sweet port wine and together they tasted like maraschino cherries...

    John Bull

    I don't usually buy cigars "on faith". I have three sons all in college at the moment, so I don't have a lot of money to spend for my own enjoyment. But I'm always on the lookout for a good smoke on the cheap. These John Bulls just caught my eye as I was looking through the latest CI catalog...

    Neil Peart...

    You must have forgotten to include the sarcasm smiley... Modern Drummer had to exclude him from their "Drummer of the Year" ballots because he was the only one anyone ever voted for... Deservedly, I might add. He's fantastic. Thanks for the vid, Greg! {Edit to add: I guess I'm not as up on...

    Has anyone gotten cancer from smoking?

    I spent an entire weekend researching this about a year ago, after getting an earful from my wife about the evils of tobacco. (We both used to smoke cigarettes; she's one of "those" ex-smokers.) Anyway, the consensus is that smoking one cigar a day (or less) does not increase the chances of...

    How to Dispose of Ashes?

    Yep. ^This.^ The soil in my yard is very clay-ey and the ash loosens it up. OK, not really. But I tell myself that, and then I don't feel bad about it.

    Ave Maria Clermont

    Good review, thanks. I've been wanting to try one of these, but with my budget I'm going to have to find a heckuva sale.

    Greetings, brothers!

    My name is Chris, and I had my first "real" cigar (a 5 Vegas Classic) given to me by a good friend about a year ago. I guess I don't have to tell you guys how much of an eye-opener it was compared to the Dutch Masters and White Owls that I had "enjoyed" previously. I'm still in the "gotta...
