• 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.

    Cigar Tubes

    Jesus dude, 7" by 60rg? I don't know if you're going to find something other than some PVC plumbing.

    A word about Small Batch

    Great thread, we should make a thread of good customer service stories. I'm all about the positive, too much negative being thrown in our faces every day.

    Damn you guys!

    I wish the gentleman that told me was an active member on this forum so I could give credit where credit is due, he is a wiser man than I.

    Damn you guys!

    A wise man once told me not to smoke a special cigar on a special occasion because the occasion is what will make the day memorable. He told me to smoke a special cigar on a normal (or even bad) day to make that day special and memorable. I don't know what I smoked the day I heard those wise...

    Tapping your expertise

    Yeah, I'm definitely thinking you'll like Bolivar...but I certainly think you need to try some before you buy a box, especially of the price of the boxes you were thinking of. PM incoming

    Tapping your expertise

    Honestly, with the preference of Tatuaje and Illusione I'm thinking you'd be a fan of the PSD4 or something from Bolivar...that's not to say you won't like the others but it was just my first thought. They're all going to be pretty different. What Tatuajes and Illusiones do you like specifically?

    so what cigars DON'T you smoke?

    Anything that I absolutely LOVE but don't have access to more(Tatuaje TAA 2011 for example) or the last stick of a bomb because I just can't, I guess I'm a little sentimental.

    Where do those dark maduro wrappers come from?

    Mostly they cook the wrappers, some very popular with great reputation manufacturers do this to get the color and color-consistency they want. Cooking doesn't darken the wrapper as much as dying does, if I recall correctly.

    Stogie Stand

    That's pretty cool, I like the bottle opener too. I don't golf so the divot tool isn't of importance but what would be neat is a plug tool instead! WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE MAKE THAT?!

    What is your favorite lighter?

    The one that works because I swear I have to have three lighters on me when we go smoke cigars because at least one won't work(and I've had two not work). I just want one that isn't too expensive that works all the time :( I've been thinking of getting one of those with the clear tank so I can...

    Rodrigo Corona Project

    Based on everything I've read, this sounds really different from other Rodrigos. I still look forward to trying one of mine but I'm still letting them rest and acclimate. Very nice review!

    Leaf by Oscar

    So does that mean they will or will not continue to carry the Leaf by Oscars? Are either of these a limited production? I was under the impression that it wasn't a limited release but a small production run but better safe than sorry. It sounds like both are pretty good. I have one of each Leaf...

    What's the next hot brand?

    I don't know about next but in a few years I think Rodrigo will be getting there. They really have some fantastic cigars and I'm amazed they aren't more popular than they are already because I've never heard anyone say anything bad about them, all reviews are positive.

    What CC you smoking?

    How are those? I've been seeing them posted recently, wondering if they're worth the money. Box worthy?

    Don Carlos bands Old vs New

    I'm 98% sure that style of band was originally on the short story maduros in 2011...So I'd imagine those are from 2011 at the latest.

    Rodrigo Cigars Christmas Giveaway

    While you guys are entering the contest, you should buy some of Rodrigo's cigars. If you haven't tried them before you may be pleasantly surprised, great blending. The boutique blend is an incredible cigar especially with a year of rest...it actually shares a wrapper of a pretty popular cigar...

    Real or fake?

    I've seen the squares cut off on authentic because you know, Cuban QC(though extremely rare)...but not on an EL and that font is off and, oh god, that wrapper/cap.

    My new favorite DE

    This kinda makes me say that I've only tried one of your top 5, make me wonder what I've been missing and wondering if I should start trying to find some of these! My heart says yes, my bank account says no, haha

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Incredibly undervalued cigar, I don't know how these fly under the radar.
