• 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.

    Sponsored Retailer Here or Not... This is Ridiculous. JV13?!

    Did I say it did? I was just pointing it out, since the original thread made it sound like the auction on ebay was ONLY for a Dress box for that price, and that is incorrect if you actually read the auction, nothing more.

    Not even close on the filler, according to what both blends have been publicly stated as being (although the BOTL does use the FFP wrapper)...

    Dreaming of a bashert

    According to Marvin, it is a different blend, with the same Capa and binder as the FFP, but with one of the Ligero leaves in the FFP replaced with a Seco leaf to tone down the strength a bit, and a bit more flavor.

    Tatuaje TAA 2013

    According to Pete, all 3 of the new sizes of the 10th Annis (which includes the Belle Encre, the Bon Chasseur and the 2013 TAA release) are the regular Brown Label blend, albeit modified for the specific vitolas.

    Thoughts About Giant Ring Gauges

    In a typical cigar (and there are always exceptions, of course), the cost difference of the tobacco between a Robusto and a larger size (say, Toro or Toro Grande) is negligible.

    Sour Beer Fans

    Russian River Supplication Jester King Funk Metal The Bruery (Multiple) Off the top of my head. Supplication is one of the best beers on the planet, IMHO, easily one of my Top 5 (and consistently stays there), but RR does a lot of sours, and they are all excellent.
