I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
There's a ton of pictures and video content, so I've also linked the original post (I hope that's alright).
Day 0, Tuesday. So long Old Man Winter.
When I first went on the Cigar Safari trip back in 2013, it wasnt long into the trip that I realized this could end up being a yearly...
Here are things you can look for when trying to determine whether it's plume or mold:
Is it located on or in the foot? Classic mold sign.
Is it clumped together, or are there circles of it on the cigar? Classic mold sign.
Is it a relatively young cigar? Classic mold sign. Plume...
I think the Tantrum is amazing. It made #4 on my list of top 13 cigars of 2013.
Here's a review if you're interested:

The TL;DR summary was:
The Ezra Zion Tantrum is a full bodied and full strength cigar. Do not let the...
In Canada I find Cubans have terrible burn issues in the winter months. Unless I'm smoking in a reasonably climate controlled smoking room, late spring or summer is the only time I'll get a good burn.
I don't think anyone had an issue with the photo, I think the issue was with some of the comments that were being made.
I re-read over the thread a few times and I don't see bullying? A small number of people expressed a desire for others to keep it classy.
On one hand you're saying that...
Going to have to agree here. I know I'm a new guy to BoTL but part of the 'fraternity' response is what pushes women away from the cigar community when we should be doing everything in our power to encourage more people.
Purchased a Prometheus God of Fire anniversary with a flint ignition instead of piezo electric. I have to say, the flint ignition system is far more reliable.
Quite unexpectedly I came home from work and found a giant care package sitting on my doorstep from Chris Kelly of Ezra Zion Cigar Co. Inside was a pile of The Collective along with some great stickers. Ive since handed out quite a few of them on my recent trip to Nicaragua, but not...
Easily one of the most recognized cigars and brands in the world. I obtained this Cohiba Robusto 2009, box code UNK from a fellow Canadian aficionado who I traded with to expand my collection of Cuban cigars. He asked that he remain anonymous.
Nose: Lots of hay, barnyard, dry grass...
I was fortunate enough to have a sampler pack of the newly launched Bodega cigars from the fantastic Cigar_G. Besides being a super classy Canadian from Ottawa, hes an all around great BoTL. I went through the cigars he sent and decided the Reunión Aperitivo Double Robusto was going to be...
