  • 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.

    Humdor Storage Question

    I guess I don't see any real problem with it, but I think you are wasting more space storing the boxes in the humidors than you are saving by replacing sticks you take out with singles. I would store the boxes themselves in tupper'dors and leave your humidors for singles. But that's just me.

    Humdor Storage Question

    Yeah, I'm confused based on your descriptions.

    BOTL Wall Calendar?

    I like it. I think there should be a collage of combs in May, though.

    Pinar Del Rio Liga Especial Reserva Superior Toro

    Welcome to the area! I'm just East of you (and a tad South) in the Citrus Park area.

    Help Needed!

    Sounds like you might be OK. I would be surprised if they were dried out if they pass the pinch test. If the RH stayed reasonable, they may have kept reasonably well. I'd go with the above suggestions. Bring 'em back up to around 65% slowly. Good luck!

    Gran Habano New STK Box distasteful

    Yep. Did the same exact thing. Same results.

    Pinar Del Rio Liga Especial Reserva Superior Toro

    That's one heck of a mouthful (the name, not necessarily the cigar).

    Gran Habano New STK Box distasteful

    OK. That's weird. Just for clarification, I am NOT the same Jason Russell who is a co-founder of Invisible Children! LOL. That being said...eh. I'm still not convinced. Why wait until all of this hullabaloo was stirred up to come out with this? Seems like a pretty poor promotional concept...

    Review: LaCrosse TX60U-SET WiFi Hygrometer

    It's a great solution so long as you are content checking the reading either on your smartphone or on a computer. That is the only drawback (other than that you can not self calibrate) I see with this product. There is no display unit that can be placed outside the unit to view easily...

    Review: LaCrosse TX60U-SET WiFi Hygrometer

    OK, so I have a quick update for any who are following this. I've switched out most of the HF beads for HCM beads in the wine cooler and igloodor. I've pulled the kitty litter beads and the bulk of the HF beads out of the wine cooler, leaving only one bag in one of the drawers (it seems to...

    KittY litter help

    Not true. There is more to it than that. I'm not knocking the Kitty Litter beads, I've used them with some success, but they are in no means the same as HF or other silica storage beads. HF beads are treated to specifically hold the RH at a set-point. That's different than just "seasoning"...

    "Older" cigars tunneling

    I don't know where the whole rotation thing came from. Seem to see quite a few people talking about it on here lately. The fictional creature above references my exact reason for thinking rotation is just bunk. Many, many cigar collectors who have been doing this for decades have been storing...

    Little help?

    Do you have some reason to believe they might not be real?

    Flavor profiles more distinct in CCs?

    Ahem. Sir Spicy Sauce, don't make me go and post a request for your address now.

    wine fridge

    I have a haier compressor style. It's not ideal, but you can make it work. Best bet if you go this route, get with Forrest on here to have some drawers made. Get them with glass tops. It's like having individual humidors within the cooler. Sent from my personal space using my iPhone

    About to buy beads, help me understand

    Good point. I always forget about freezing. Another perfectly good option.
