  • 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.

    Myth Busters – Relative Humidity

    First Post Updated. Cigars drying out a bit so I put the beads back in. Oasis is loosing weight, so if this trend keep up, it looks like it will slowly release humidity regardless of if it is needed or not. Does anyone know if the Oasis runs once in a while automaticly to test the air? If so...

    Myth Busters – Relative Humidity

    No sign yet, but with the life cycle of the beetle being what it is, Even if an egg hatches I'm not sure it will even be noticed before it is smoked. What I'm curious about now is what will happen with the Oasis. Humidity has dropped a tiny bit, but the Oasis lost some weight. I have to open...

    Myth Busters – Relative Humidity

    I'm not sure the snug test is a good one, I may have altered it by checking the bands day to day, and since Cigar No.2 is a figurado, I may have moved the band up or down a bit and changed things as well. I wouldn't read into this too much, they cigars did noticably shring when they dried out...

    Cigar bands (still on the cigars) for sale on ebay

    I've had and loved boxes of these, more when I started out, than today as I like stronger cigars. But still a very flavorful cigar, great in the morning with a cup of Joe. I've still got some, and save them to share with special people who can only handle a very mild cigar. There is also no way...

    What to drink while smoking a cigar?

    Coffee compliments, and I mostly do capachino's that has milk in them. Milk is one of the best things for cleaning your palet to pick up more flavors. Keeps a build up of old and strong flavors from hiding the new or more subtle flavors.

    Myth Busters – Relative Humidity

    First post updated and condensed a bit, I'll leave follow up post to cover the conversation. The cigars have settled to basicly where they started. I think the most intresting and suprizing part for me so far is that in a sealed container the air will suck the moisture out of the cigar when...

    CRA Cigar Sampler #2

    Perhaps we should ask if we can get the sampler, cancel our membership and then send it to ourselves?

    Do I need a humidor in Florida?

    Big question is where you will keep it, here with high summer temperatues you need to be mindful of beetles. If you will keep a large collection and not keep your AC at 73 year around in the house, you are taking risks. A small humidor or tupper ware container will work, but if you will have...

    Who carries what and why

    Not a fan of the PPK, has a bad habit of taking chunks of shin off your hand. Sig is much better in that class, but these days I'd say if you want a mouse gun go Kel Tec at half the weight. The Old P7 squeeze cockers are not than uncommon, a shop near me has half a dozen, lots of european...

    Who carries what and why

    I carry, and to me it's just like having a spare tire in your car. A very few times I appreciate it alot, at other times I forget I have it. I have drawn twice but never fired as a civian. Military and LE is another story.

    Need some expert humidification advice for my custom cabinet

    Wood can suck up a lot of moisture. Until your steady you might want to put a little bowl of water in there. Until, you risk going too high, it couldn't hurt. Ron is our resident expert, but my guess would be thirsty wood.
