• 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.

    CBid order with cut feet...

    Another Update: Not that anyone is following along here, but I just received another order (this time a bundle of 20) that arrived damaged. This time, the box was damaged in transit, however the bubble packing was not enough to save some of the cigars in the bundle. Instead of emailing...

    July 4th Smokes

    Had my CAO America Potomac last night in pre-celebration. I'll probably take an LP Undercrown with me to the fireworks display.

    Fathers Day cigar

    A little late, but I had a Liga Privada No. 9 robusto on Father's Day. Enjoyed it too!

    If you can find them, buy them!!

    I'd like to find: Oliva Master Blend I LP T-52 ..and just for kicks, I'd love to find the Big Butt Gorditas as they were originally produced circa 1997-98. My palate has changed plenty since then, but they'd be fun to find.

    CBid order with cut feet...

    Update: My replacement Graycliffs just arrived. Same deal with the cellos cut too short (the feet stick out of the open-ended cellophane tubes), but it sounds like they might ship them this way now. In previous orders, they didn't come with any cello. At least this time the cigars aren't...

    CBid order with cut feet...

    I got a bland apology, and was told that a box is being sent for me to return them. They said that after the return is processed, my money will be refunded. I wrote back and said that I would prefer a replacement 5-pack. I mean, I did win the auction. I should expect replacements, no?

    CBid order with cut feet...

    I'm laughing at your comment - turns out that another part of my order was a 10-pack of Cain! Thankfully they appear to be in good shape.

    Curivari?

    I've tried at least 4 different blends, and they are all decent, but nothing to write home about.

    CBid order with cut feet...

    I did a quick search and didn't see any threads on this topic. I recently won an auction on CB for a 5-pack of Graycliff Profesionale Series (blue label), among some other lots. What I found strange is that the 5 Graycliff sticks all were cut off at the foot, cellophane and all, almost as if...

    La Sirena "The Prince"

    Just really enjoyed a La Sirena. Not surprising at all that this is a blend by Pepin Garcia. Just wondering how well these are received by fellow BOTL.
