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
Mitch I agree with you whole heartedly my friend but in my book if you hand a friend an opus in any shape or size it's always special and it's more about the experience with your friend that your cigar because a cigar is always just a cigar.
