• 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.

    When a humidor comes to life

    I've built a cabinet humidor about two years ago and stocked it with good cigars. It's still stocked with good cigars but in the last year it has really started to take on a life of it's own. It smells like heaven now, unlike the first year and I'm loving it. Well, it got me to thinking...

    Storage-Boxes open or closed

    If you have good cirulation, there should not be any difference of humidity in the humidor, so at least by physics, it's not posible for one box to be more or less humid. I think that sealed boxes stabalize any changes in temp or humidity caused by opening the humidor, so I go with leaving them...

    What is plume?

    First off, cigars that are handled, rarely develop plume so unless you are aging full boxes, even cigars that do plume will not if they are rolling around in trays or getting picked up and admired now and then. Second, Don't think of plume as changing anything in the cigar, it's just an...

    Best glue to bond plastic to plastic inside of a fridgedor?

    It's not normal to have condensation, you should not be crossing dew point at those temps/humidity. Chances are once it is settled a drain system will not be needed.

    Best glue to bond plastic to plastic inside of a fridgedor?

    First off, it depends what kind of plastic to what kind of plastic. Most mostly, why do you expect to have condensation in your humidor?

    40 drawer patience killer

    Couple quick thoughts, one what was the humidity before you started to humidify it. And if you take all the humidifiers out, does the humidity quickly drop or stay about the same? This may help to understand if your problem is humidity leaking out, our your humidifiers not adding as much...

    40 drawer patience killer

    an dry unit, empty of cigars could take weeks and weeks of sucking up moisture before you stop getting the humidor set. As the humidor gains moisture it may expand slightly and the joints fit better and end up sealing better. Think of all of that wood as thirty bounds of beeds than need to be...

    want a 22 pistol

    Another vote for the Ruger. Lots of good ones out there, but Ruger is not sized well for carry, but for shooting well, it's well ballanced, fits even larger hands and has the kick of a cap gun. Couple diffirent grip angles on these, older ones had the luger angle, a newer one called the 22/45...

    Should a LE ever be made standard production?

    I think for a lot of people it comes down to how much value you place on what is not the cigar. I think there is some value in a cigar that is rarer that what you can go down to the corner B&M to pick up. Espcialy if its one that a person want's and hasn't gotten, the forbidden fruit. I mark...

    Cost to make a cigar?

    Before we start calculating profits, you need to understand risks. Almost all start up bussinesses fail withing five years and there is no way for anyone to figure out if they have the next pet rock craze that will make them millions or will just blow their life savings for nothing but...

    Should a LE ever be made standard production?

    I'll see just about the entire Padron family next weekend, I'll ask. but yep it's one hell of a cigar, and yep I understand it was to be realeased each year in limited quantitites. I hope they quality remains.
