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 the next few weekends 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.

:happy: I did order some Rene seco so not everything will be all ligero... It was a smooth smoke. Used the last of my mata fina filler though so maybe next time I'll sub in T-13 and see what happens. :cigar:- Jim D

The first two were huge. I cut down to 1/4 leaf each ligero, 1/2 Mata fina, and a piece of CTBL about the same as one of the ligero. About fire up the trial stick now that its aged almost 4 hours! Ps, that's a 48rg mold they are sitting in for comparison- Jim D

Guess I'm just lucky being in NC I'm out of T-13 and need more, and the Rene Seco I'm trying based on the raves here. Of course the traditional Corojo viso is a staple for me and I'm out of that too.- Jim D

A Noob’s Venture into Firearms
@bwhite220 didn't happen if there aren't any pics! I'm glad there is another trained and armed person out there. The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Thanks for taking on the responsibility.- Jim D

Just used the last of the rosado wrapper Don sent as a sample, sure is a pretty leaf and easy to work with. Thanks again to @NavyJC(RET) for the ash tray!- Jim D

And practicing a couple at a time frequently will develop the skills faster and easier than a whole lot of cigars every once in a while. Looking good @mitetak- Jim D

That binder is a piloto cubano leaf according to LO, which goes well with many other fillers. As long as it burns for you, go ahead and use it as filler if you want.- Jim D

I used a saw blade. Its thicker than the sheets of stainless I had available at Lowes, which I think makes it more comfortable to work with.- Jim D
