  • 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.

    Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Thoughts/prices? (and JJ maduro)

    Well... I was all set to buy a box of the JG's, and then I came across a box of 24 Oliva Serie V double robustos for $89. Too hard to pass that up. Thanks for your help, guys!

    Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Thoughts/prices? (and JJ maduro)

    Hmm...now I found a good price on the petit robustos. decisions, decisions. Toro, Robusto, or Petit Robusto. I enjoy all sizes, but wonder which size is the best for this blend.

    Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Thoughts/prices? (and JJ maduro)

    I'm trying to decide between a box of the robustos and a box of the toros. I've only smoked the toro size, and really enjoyed it, but I'm typically a fan of the robusto size as far as vitolas go. (I've read that the petite robusto is great, but the place I'm buying them from is sold out.) My...

    Brick House Robusto

    These taste pretty good, but I've had several with huge veins running up through the cap, which are extremely annoying. I had one mighty mighty that exploded. Haven't been in a hurry to buy more.

    Oliva Master Blends 1

    Wow, thanks for the review. I really love the MBIII, but the boxes I've bought have needed some humidor time. Tried one MBII churchill, and was not nearly as impressed. I've been searching for that elusive MBI for a few years now. Even the two Oliva reps I spoke to couldn't help me out...

    Cigar Band Clock

    Nice job and good idea. I've made several that are 16x20 with matting and frames. If I can offer up some unsolicited advice, they always look sweeter when you overlap them just enough to where you can't see any of the white background. These could sell like hotcakes to women who have no idea...

    Haven't been there yet, but the owners seemed cool when I met them on the 2010 Chicago Smoke on the Water Cruise. www.metrocigarsllc.com It's a cigar shop/lounge in Germantown.

    Do you/would you smoke in front of your kids?

    I'll smoke them outside, and often with my father-in-law or neighbor. My child knows that they are different from the "icky" cigarettes, and that only daddys smoke cigars. Rather than hide it from her (which often gets kids even more interested), I do it in plain sight and ensure that no smoke...

    Seasoning Humidor

    Caught me completely off-guard. Can't wait to get to work on prepping it. That Tatuaje decal is going on my vehicle the minute it stops raining.

    Justin is a class act, no doubt about it. He sent a beautiful humidor along with some unexpected, but very nice goodies. A million thank you's for this over-the-top act of generosity.
