  • 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.

    Too much variety

    I'll buy a few singles of the limited releases and new things I like to try but I'll do 5ers,10ers, and boxes of things I have consistently enjoyed over the years even though they'll typically be on the more expensive side. However, I only smoke once or twice a week at most so it doesn't sting...

    Good Beginner Scotch

    I compare it to starting off with cigars (mild to spicy on the spectrum)- go for something sweeter or smooth compared to something more peaty with a big bite. Glenlivet, Glenmorangie, Glennfiddich, Macallan (the 10 isn't too bad in price) are ones I started off with. Now like with cigars, I'll...

    Herf-A-Dor Seal

    Woof, just left my small one in my car the past couple days and it's been in the 90's, going to have to re-check the seal now for when I bring mine fishing and to the beach as well. How long have you had yours for? Did you ever feel the seal was off when you closed it?

    What's your favorite way to marinade/season/rub a steak?

    Salt and pepper for me, then a bit of garlic, butter, and thyme at the end. I'm all ears on some other rubs, whether wet or dry from you pros though. I usually get the nice cuts for dinners I got time to enjoy, I need some flavorimg for the chucks I make for my lunches. I do like throwing...

    Las Calaveras EL 2017

    I'm not one usually to get hung up on releases but after blowing through most of my 2016s already, I need a box of these 2017s.

    This is a good problem to have.

    Amazon Fire Stick TV

    Recently got a Firestick with Kodi, wish I had done it sooner. To the poster above me, I did see BBC HBO on the list of networks available but personally haven't watched them. HBO does offer a stand-alone streaming option too that I had used previously for a cheap price.

    I love punching!

    Last time I tried a Punch, I was spitting out tobacco for the first few puffs. Looking at it now, it was probably user error and a crap punch.

    Need a storage upgrade!

    First off, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Currently seasoning a Whynter CHC-251S that's advertised as holding 400 cigars. It has a mix of shelves and drawers that came with it. It was a $299 on Amazon with Prime shipping. Honestly, I just pulled the trigger because I had a few...

    You won't regret it, Rob's great.

    Seeking advice on what to try

    Don't worry, eventually you'll have so many cigars you'll have a a ton of unintentionally rested and aged stock.
