• 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.

    What's in your bowl today

    not sure the exact shape number, james, but DrG's interpretation of an author is a great pipe, chunky and good to hold, but the stem is shaped with enough taper to clench. kinda prefer them over the Sav 320, truth be told. got a couple so far, and if any of you can get them for a good price...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    because it was a day, and wanted something new and pretty. and it was quite pretty. warren, thanks for the moment's peace.

    Real or Fake Christmas Tree?

    fake, as it is less clean up, less chance of inviting wildlife in, and more opportunity to put ornaments up. we have always spent more time on the decorations (and the memories attached to each) than anything else.

    What's in your bowl today

    there is NOTHING wrong with that, but it would make me sad. my old ass DrG's that smoke great, my CPerkins that is just about the nicest object i own, my nord that adores virginia based tobaccos, my little sav serie III that has slowly colored with me for over a year, they all smoke amazing for...

    Anyone into the Illusione Cigars

    MKultra are just sexy, regardless of the year. the roths are fun and approachable (and habit forming!). the eperney line is just pretty. while nothing is what it was "back in the day", i feel there is a lot to like still from his offerings. also, james, we are still on the middle of a trade...

    actually some people swear escudo and DNR are the SAME tobaccos. maybe so, maybe not, but they are in a very similar vein.

    What's in your bowl today

    one of my DrG westie's with WaRevo's "mystery aro #1". a little caramel or butterscotch sweet, a little fall leaf litter, a solid burley/cav base, not sure, but it's burning cool and even, and it still tastes like tobacco, so this one is a win. also, i am NOT ready for the cold season...

    Post here when you receive your PIPE SS package

    um, no, we have four, and anything over a two to one ratio of cats to humans in a household gets into "weird" territory. but thanks for the offer!

    Post here when you receive your PIPE SS package

    yeah... i was thinking about sending out a puppy... i'm a cat person, but something about a good dog goes with the image of a piper. if it has air holes, open immediately?

    BOTL Pipe Newbie Sampler Thread

    so... WaRevo and i have been hashing things out, back and forth, he doesn't NEED a piper noob package per se as he's an established piper, we can work something out if he lets me know what he can reasonably do, he just wants to get a little trade cred, meet some people, get established... long...

    Dependable online pipe tobacco retailers

    true, but also the foundation house of the hearth and home blends, and still the best stocked, by and large. they may be a satelite of STG, true, but that doesn't change their relevance for pipe nearly as much as it does for cigars.

    Magic: The Gathering

    i have gotten lucky and found a few guys who have come to be friends. real life says we don't play as often as we'd like, and we build less than we should, but it's a great excuse for dude time, AND a creative outlet for us. talk to guys at your B&M about your nerd games. if someone at a FNM...

    Pipe Secret Santa 2014

    hey, dismal, highlander brings up a good caveat: if there is anything someone CAN'T use, even if it isn't tobacco related, we should have that info available. maybe in their piper santa threads, or in their profile wish list? someone drops a candy bomb on highlander, or a booze bomb on me, or...

    Today is a Good Day (Daily Thread)

    spent last night burning cigars and playing nerd games with buddies. only had to spend tow hours at work today, have burned two excellent sticks since, and jojo wants a pizza and video game night. not exciting, but not a damn bad 24hr period. o)
