  • 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.

    Winodors "thermoelectric vs compressor"

    What you have is not a bad plan, but make sure that some of the things that aging helps get rid of like Amonia have a way to escape. Since you can age in sealed boxes, it just slows down the process, I'd guess this would slow it even further. If you are not doing long term storage or are in...

    For my next purchase, I am looking for...

    If you are at the point where you are not sure either about what you love or what you should try, I'd go with some samplers or maybe fivers. Chances are even though all of these are good cigars, unless you plan on smoking the entire box within the next month or so, it will end up sitting around...

    I never wet and don't have any problems with cracking, but I also smoke sticks from my humidor.

    Cigar Restoration?

    Go for it, nothing to lose. I know people say that if they oils are lost they are a gonner, but I've brought back cigars that have been stored wrong for decades and some have been great smokes.

    Opening your LAST box - Most prized box

    1. I have two boxes Im saving, not sure which out ranks the other, but I have a wooden box of 5 (full) of Cuban Partagas Ramonitas from the early 1940's and I also have a wooden box of 50 (full) of Castle Hall Twins clear havan'as from 1920. In both cases the cigars are in great shape. 2...

    La Aurora Preferido Platinum Review

    I got my first one of these from my girlfriend years ago, and they hold a special place in my heart, both the girl who I married and the cigar.

    La Caja China

    I hope you have a great time, hanging out with friends keeping the pig company is one of the best parts. I have friends who do this, and more times than not the cook times are much longer. If you start with a partialy frozen pig, don't have a rack and do a good job of flattening the pig out...

    Who pays for lost package?

    I think it depends mostly on who you were shipping to. I've only had one go missing that didn't show up within a week. That one was to a stand up brother and I reshipped without a second thought. But, I also, know some people have been kicked off boards for running a scam where they tell people...

    Bad news ...

    Very sorry to hear. I know you will be strong for the family, and I know you will make the best out of it. But, I'm sorry to hear your being dragged in a direction you don't want to go in. Seems like America is doing a poorer and poorer job of taking care of the soldiers that take care of us.

    When a humidor comes to life

    Mine is cedar lined, I'm starting to think something is soaking into the wood. I've also noticed that my beeds have gotten a slightly brown tint, I'm guessing from the oils in the cigars.
