• 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.

    That's a marinade I hadn't thought of. Think of the efficiency gains possible with this, every time I have my head up my ass, I can be smoking a cigar too!

    I'm not familiar with the Brazilian cubra habano nor the Nic viso jalapa but do enjoy everything else you ordered. One combo I really liked with a bourbon on ice is Mata Fina, piloto seco, Dominican ligero with Ec seco wrapper... I think it had a piloto seco binder. The volado you have goes well...

    Isn't that the "erstwhile most-hated leaf"? How'd you like it?

    Are lanceros worth the try

    That was a movie quote, Pulp Finction iirc...not a cigar brand.

    Are lanceros worth the try

    To each his own, you wont know if you like them or not, unless you try them.

    Today's whimsical blend is dom ligero, t13, mf, and corojo seco. One was bound with the Mata fina, one was bound with t13. They'll be wrapped in Ecuadorian seco.

    This morning's roll is simply .5 corojo seco, 1 dom ligero, .5 dom binder, Ecuadorian seco wrapped. I haven't even been using any glue as these sticks don't usually survive 24 hrs.... PS: Yesterday's blend included 2 T-13 viso leaves, this blend is definitely better with the viso.

    I've been rolling one or two at a time lately. Just bunching and binding before bed, then wrapping in the morning before heading to work. Creates the opportunity to try different blends frequently and keeps the skillset fresh...

    I kind of clean up the edge a bit but don't really sharpen it so much.

    This one is pretty cool in the car, mounted by the window the draft pulls the smoke out as I drive.

    That sounds like a great blend...I may have to mimic that one for a trial run, thanks for sharing the idea!

    Adventures in home rolling

    Your first rolls still look prettier than my 'been-rolling-for-a-couple-years-now' rolls... Maybe this year is the year I get the hang of it. If not, well there'll be a 2020...

    What are you listening to?

    Was a couple hours of Pink Floyd, now an 80s Monster Rock compilation. Right now it's Great White playing a Zeppelin tune...
