  • 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.

    JR Certified Vintage

    Crap, crap, and crap. I am a JR customer, I buy many of my daily smokes from them, however I stay away from these, they are not the same as the smokes that came out during that period.

    Cut/Punch Differences?

    I have never liked the punch, the only time I have used it is when I am offered a cigar and the host offers a punch cutter.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Romeo Y Julieta Petit Belicoso, again not a bad little smoke for a JR special, will be fun to see what a bit of age does to them.

    2 new guns

    Nice pick up's there Ron! I would suggest a range herf, however the freaking fire the .357 Colt throws is unsafe and unreal, never again will I purchase home made rounds.

    The Meaning Of A "Flag Draped Coffin"

    Thank you for the post. Nothing is more moving, or can overcome sadness than the flag draped coffin. It is an emotional experience, overcome by pride. I have lost both of my grandfathers, served in World War 2, and my father, served in Vietnam. With tradition, it is amazing that even down to the...

    When purchasing a favorite cigar, I usually prefer to…

    Subjective in your saying favorite. My favorite cigars I bought an original box, then later picked up a box to age, when I finish the first box, I buy another box to replace. Generally if I like the cigar I put a box in the humidor. I do not have room anymore for boxes so I wrap cigars with that...

    Why does a special come after a special?

    Tough call.....I just bought a box of Fuente Short Stories at 99 bucks from JR, marketing, mistake whatever, a few bucks less than normal for my daily smoke.

    I need some healthy talk about caffiene and stress

    I have heard keeping a water bottle full of water by your side, and drinking it regularly can curb nicotine cravings, and I want to say I have heard this for caffeine as well. A buddy of mine quit smoking cigarettes this way, he was constantly drinking water. I am probably addicted to the...

    Bitter Short Story

    The short story is one of the easiest cigars to smoke, however they can be rushed just as easy. Smoking them too fast will make them bitter. These are one of my daily smokes, and 45 minutes is about the smoke time if care is taken, they can be stretched to an hour if nubbed.

    collecting cigar bands...

    In college, my room mate and I taped them around our mirror in the dorm. I saved them all when we moved out as he gave up the hobby a few months before graduation. Somewhere in a move I lost the cigar box that I kept those bands, along with my collected cutters and such. Since last year when I...

    proper humidity?

    70/70 to age. 65/70 to smoke. I never was one to age cigars, however I followed the 70/70 rule to a T for years in my humidor, and a few layed around for a few years. I had a mix of good burns and bad burns, over the last year I dropped to 65/70 and lost the burn issue. I store at 70/70 now...

    Rubbermaid Storage

    I use a large and a small one to store and transport my camping gear. An awesome product for that, however not insulated so would not work well without serious modification for cigar storage.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    La Gloria Cubana...churchill size. Rescued this from a friend, gifted to him with no interest in cigars. Flat but not grassy, just some mild tobacco notes, a nice mild smoke for the evening.

    Private Cigar Club question ?

    24/7 to the lounge above the shop, no entry into the actual shop. I have no reason to drop money into a cigar lounge, now a cigar shop with lounge or a bar with lounge I would pay locker rental for another place to store smokes and for the privilages that come with such as the above posts for...

    Private Cigar Club question ?

    My local shop recently opened one, 1000 bucks a year gets you a locker and 24/7 access....love the shop, and the idea of the lounge, just a bit too much money considering I can smoke at home.
