• 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.

    Would you smoke these moldy cigars?

    Good question & short answer = I don't know. White mold is the beginning stage resulting from stagnant humidity - when caught early enough, it can simply be wiped off (capped head) & in my experience doesn't change the taste of the cigar. Only ever happens in a paper lined box to me - I pull...

    Would you smoke these moldy cigars?

    It seems to happen in the paper-lined boxes most often... I prefer to relocate to a cab-style box unless long-terming it. Look - just wipe them off - cigar smoking is not for the germ-phobic! how many people touch that cigar before you place it between your lips?? Wipe em off & check them every...

    Favorite pipe tobacco

    Some of my personal favorites include Esoterica's Penzance & Stonehaven, Solani Aged Burley Flake & Silver Flake (underrated IMO), Rattray's Hal O' the Wynd & Old Gowrie, SG St. James Flake, McConnell's Scottish Cake, GLP Odyssey, Mac Baren's HH Vintage Syrian, Dan's Hamborger Veermaster, & I've...

    Shark's Life Transformation (PIC)

    Congratulations on the commitment paying off. It's inspiring to me - I'd like to loose another 30lbs - seems like nothing comparatively. Instead of going on the crash diet, I've just attempted to remove sugars, carbs and animal products. Not completely, mind you, just to an extent that is...

    Grateful to BOTL & a little update

    Thanks for the support guys - it means a lot to me! I barely made the grades in high school, I just wanted to party. Now, I actually want to be there - what a difference that makes on the grades! But more importantly, I'm enjoying it. Too bad it took me 17 years to go back to college...

    Grateful to BOTL & a little update

    I haven't been that active for some time - I needed to break away from the obsession & compulsion I experience here! When I'm on here all the time, it's easy for me to get caught up in the new releases or building a collection. Especially seeing all the lovely cigar porn! So I had to step away...

    Sad day in my world

    My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family! My wife & mother are cancer-phobic (for good reason too, it's in both our families). They got into this "Forks over Knives" movie based on whole foods/ plant-based diets - they are very into nutrition and my mother is a certified nurse. The...

    Legado de Pepin

    I smoke more of Pepin's sticks than I care to admit... When I first saw this I had to give it test drive. My review? Ehh. "...not particularly interesting or unique" sums it up. I might pick some up on discount, but I'd generally reach for a dozen others in the price range first. Now, the MF...
