• 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.

    Lost and Found: Spam Artist

    Interesting, this was the one besides the pepper cream chocolate that I was interested in and it doesn't sound nearly as good as the pigeon. Would have loved to try one but pretty glad I didn't get stuck with 10 of them. Maybe with some additional age the flavors will meld bit more and it will...

    Brands That Fallen and Risen

    I'm AMAZED that Viaje isn't the most mentioned "Fallen" brand by a long shot, honestly I attribute it to the fact that they've just about fallen out of everyone's memory.

    Lost & Found at SmallBatch

    I was under the impression that they were rolled on the date listed on each release. Derek made a good point, these were supposedly found in the back room so then they were taken out, shipped, repackaged, shipped out to shops, who then shipped them out to customers...many of whom shipped them...

    Drew Estate 0_o

    Yeah, I agree I was a bit harsh. I've tried two or three of them and was very underwhelmed, I gifted all but one so I will revisit eventually. I was sooo disappointed, I would definitely take an Ambos Mundos Sumatra over an Undercrown any day of the week...Tatuaje kills Drew Estate at this...

    Drew Estate 0_o

    I'm surprised to see a fe anti-Undercrown-ers. When they came out everyone was claiming it was the best cigar of the year, I thought it tasted like a turd.

    Lost + Found

    They definitely lost me on this one. I wanted all four releases last go around but I'm not even remotely interested in them this time...other than the pepper cream chocolate(which I was able to snag), mostly just to compare to the previous pepper cream/cream machine. I'm thinking half of that...

    What CC you smoking?

    On another forum(of mostly Habano smokers) I did a regular production shootout. Members submitted, without reading the thread or knowing the count, their 5 top regular production Habanos. Partagas ran away with it followed by H. Upmann and Bolivar. Most of my trusted, if I need to know I'd ask...

    Rodrigo cigars

    Great guy, fantastic cigars. The Boutique Blend might be the best cigar you've never heard of, especially with a few months of rest. The quality is top notch and the blending is well done, I feel that the cigars are priced below their weight class. In a few years George might just be the next...

    Over Humidified or Under Humidified?

    It could be over-humidified or they could just be in a "sick" state based on what you're tasting, ammonia. Normally overly humidified cigars are spongy but some cigars are just hard. Normally it's the thicker/darker wrappers that are really noticeable when wet. Get yourself a hygrometer (and...

    Can I just say...

    I'm a member of numerous forums and throughout the time pretty much all of them have had some sort of drama and poo flinging going on...except BOTL. I really appreciate that the moderators here aren't the kind that split up the forum with rivalries and vendettas. I appreciate that the community...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Johnny-O, he does "custom" rolls and releases them in bundles on a couple of forums. It's implied though never explicitly stated that they are made with Cuban tobacco.

    Habanos Opus X Equivalent?

    Originally, would have put the Behike as the reputation equivalent but after thinking of it the Behike is more of a Lost City equivalent...probably the standard Cohiba Robusto or Monte 2 is the equivalent. Opus isn't the nearly unattainable cigar it once was. Edit: As for the celebratory cigar...

    What is in your dream 5 pack sampler?

    Thank You Rodrigo

    I had a wrapper blow out once and tweeted about it(saying say that I was sad this one blew up but was lucky I brought an extra cigar)...he freaking called my cell phone to apologize, haha.

    George is a top notch BOTL, not a business owner a BOTL.

    F-U USPS... gimme my cigars!

    My favorite is when they say "delivered" and you have nothing. Still waiting on a rather special bomb from two years ago to get delivered...probably was a pretty damn good day from the USPS worker, if they had any idea how HTF some of those cigars were :(

    CAO Vision humidor question

    I don't smoke a lot of CAOs but they do make good cigars but the Vision was not one of them(IMO)...The price made it seem a lot worse.
