• 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.

    Bill to lift CUBAN EMBARGO!!!!!!!!

    I've been buying up all the good CCs I see because of this fear of the SLIGHT chance this passes. Once this passes, the dark ages of the cigar hobby start and it will take a long time to recover. I believe Raul said that the only way he goes along with restoring relations between Cuba and the US...

    Are you happy at 62% ?

    Today I realized that the lower section of my humidor was at 70% humidity due to my beads being oversaturated(top shelf is at 62%...last cigar I smoked from the lower section and near the beads was awful and had burn issues, I made it less than halfway through the cigar. Just sayin Luckily my...

    So that's all they have? That's the same price as Smokeinn had them at with the 550s at $193 and 754s at $237...while others were more at $215, $239 and $263 respectively.

    Leaf by Oscar

    Geez, that thing is oily as hell! I love it! I have to imagine the first 2/3 tasted different from the last 1/3 just based on the difference in the amount of visible oil, I've never seen that before.

    Any Thoughts On. .

    I really enjoyed the JL1 from 08, haven't had one recently but the two I had in 2013 were absolutely incredible. Might have to have another sometime soon...I remember the JL PC from 08 was rather well thought of also.

    How limited is limited?

    The 2011 release of Old Man and the C sat for a while before they started to disappear. The 2012 release also seemed to sit for quite some time. I had access to either over a year past release...I think people that don't frequent forums just shy away from culebras and didn't realize the 2012...

    How limited is limited?

    It varies a lot. The tatuaje Anarchy was a limited release and they still had them a year after the release. Some of them sell out on day one and you're stuck with the secondary market to get them. Within the first year, you'll generally play close to retail by most BOTL. As time goes on they...

    Are you happy at 62% ?

    much prefer 62% over higher RH. I tend to let incoming cigars rest for months because they ship soo wet. Try rotating your cigars, I've found that getting new cigars it can take a while to get them to the right RH if they're resting against a non-cigar surface(Wood,plastic,tube)...eventually...

    What is the allure of the torpedo or perfecto shape?

    I don't find torpedos or perfectos to ever be tighter draws than rounded cap cigars(of course it happens with either but no difference in regularity). I'd recommend considering changing your RH, I'm closer to 62% RH at max I'd recommend 65% RH. I like perfectos because they're soo easy to...

    2014 limited's to get before they're gone

    I really missed the boat on the Las Calaveras 2014s, wish I would have picked up some...it's a love/hate with LEs, you get them when you can and they might not be very good, you wait to see if they're good and the price goes up as availability goes down. Dealing with this on my TAA 2011s, only...

    What's the next hot brand?

    He's pretty much only in PA. The Boutique G4 is one of my favorite NC cigars, it's good right off the truck but after a year of rest it's amazing. The caramel note that hits is one of the strongest, best caramels I've had in a cigar.
