  • 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.

    Motorcycle Theft!

    I got a rude awakening as I was about to go grocery shopping Saturday morning. It had appeared someone wheeled off the '69 Trail 90 that I had finished restoring. I thought it was a joke at first, but after a few phone calls, I discovered it was indeed stolen. I promptly called the...

    Good first pistol to purchase

    IMHO you can't really go wrong with a Beretta 92. It doesn't have the stopping power of a .45, but it's reliable, has little recoil, and is cheap to shoot compared to some of the other calibers. It was my first handgun and I still very much enjoy shooting it.

    Cooked Cigars?

    Great info! :thumbsup: After your description, I'm sure they have been artificially colored.

    Cooked Cigars?

    Hey all, I've got to ask something that's been puzzling me for a while, well 4 hours. But first, a story! The semi-local B&M has it's own brand of cigars which come in churchill, robusto, and torpedo shapes. They have both rosado and double maduro varieties available. I've smoked many of...

    What I did when left without my cutter

    Put the foot in your mouth and light the cap... after removing the band of course. :cbig: It's actually a bad idea. I tried it once and the smoke became an unraveled mess :) Better to just chomp off the end or keep a folding razor blade handy.

    Arizona BOTL Herf

    Hey, so long as I'm not volunteered to work that weekend I'd love to come! I'm in Yuma so it's a bit of a drive, but I'd love to meet some fellow brothers.

    Back from the Dead: AVO Domaine Puritos

    Hey all, I'm back after quite the hiatus with a review of a little cigar that's quickly working its way up my favorites list. It's the AVO Domaine Purito. For those of you who remember, I'm all about the short-time smoke. For a tin of ten in Yuma, you're looking at a steep 30 bucks, but these...

    Re-Introduction

    Haha, yeah, that thing was quite a piece of work. Definitely worked well, though! I've been enjoying the Sancho Panza Double Maduro and Casa Torano lines as of late. Prices are borderline outrageous here in Yuma ($8-9 per for those) and I've been debating on whether or not to go back to...

    Re-Introduction

    Hey All! Some of you old salts probably remember me, I was a regular six years ago. I thought I'd drop by again since It's been quite some time to see how y'all have been doing. I've recently re-enlisted in the Marines to head to Florida and work with the F-35 and hopefully can stay a bit...

    Greetings from the Philippines

    I still have a few sticks that my parents send me every once in a while but since coming to PI, there's a few legit vendors of select cuban tobacco. Why, just the other day, I got a glass top collector's box of cohiba esplendidos! :P No, lol, they have CoRos, Punch Coronations, Romeo...

    Greetings from the Philippines

    Hi all, anyone remember me? lol The corps has me tied up in the Philippines atm for a little while. I just decided to check in and see what was going on around the board. I've still got a few months left overseas and so far it's been less than perfect to be honest. I can't wait to get back...

    I'm Back

    Hey guys, it's been all too long! I'm in Pensacola, FL right now and most likely will be stationed here for the next half a year or so. I've got internet access and the whole nine yards and can't wait to get my setup going again with just a small humidor this time. I'll hop on as often as I...

    See You in Three Months!

    Later guys! I'm off to Spokane, then MCRD San Diego! Thanks for all the support, I'll catch you all in a few months. I'll see if I can't get my address put here by a BOTL when I get wind of what platoon I'll be in. Take Care, ~Eric

    Did I smoke it backwards?

    I've cut large cigars in half when I was new to smoking because I couldn't handle all that nicotine. Not kosher, I know, but they still tasted the same :P If you look very closely, you can actually see the wrapper tucked under the next wraparound. Sometimes, though, it is nearly impossible to...

    Did I smoke it backwards?

    Yup, they will unravel. I am speaking from experience :D
