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.

Nothing like the PoPo coming to tell you what can be posted on FaceBook....what a world these days. I wonder if I make my favorite chicken BBQ recipe and some jagoff next door doesn't like the aroma that I can be arrested for nasal assault?- Cigary43

Confusion Over Wrappers
Gotta love Marketing and Advertising to sell product. Definitions can be subjective at times and nothing gets more interesting in the Cigar Biz than nomenclature and salesmanship. Medium to full bodied is a stretch,,,that covers a lot of ground esp. when you try to attach a "full bodied" tail... -

Panhandlers and homeless
There is a story for each person and having lived in major metro areas I've seen a lot of hustlers and I've seen a lot of down and out people who deserve a handout.

Lusitania simmering time ?
Having had boxes of these over the last 15 years ( first one was in 2014...I smoked it ROTT and it was good but the last 1/3 turned into a wrestling match of flavors...a little on the harsh side which meant I had to 'hoover' the thing to keep it lit and that burns the tobacco where it turns... -
