  • 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.

    Boutique Cigar Daily deals site concept

    1. <quoted text> 2. There's already a retailer selling only "boutique" cigars, I think it's doing okay, but it's definitely catching on. 3. Boutiques are known to have issues keeping consistency, long list of boutiques who blew up and never came back. 4. Why would anyone buy your boutiques...

    Rocky Patel Fifty

    Hmm. I agree with Burton largely. Still think it's the best Rocky that I've smoked, and one of the few I wouldn't mind smoking, although I agree with the Hammer comments.

    Pacquiao Fight?

    I agree with you, but I'm not sure it would have mattered in terms of how Round 12 is fought. Marquez was going to counter, and Manny was going to lead. That's how the fight had gone, and that's the only way Marquez wins, neither fighter looked like they wanted to fight for the first 2:10ish of...

    Pacquiao Fight?

    I had Marquez by 3 rounds by the end of the fight, but knew that that would translate to split/+1 for Marquez. Lots of close rounds, a lot of them could have been scored even if boxing accepted that practice. Judges' scorecards: Interesting after Round 7, they can't agree on a round.

    Pacquiao Fight?

    And if you are Mayweather, you look you'd be a favorite for a May 5th fight with Manny, unless you lose one of the 41 pending court cases against you in the next six months.

    What Are You Waiting For?

    I'm still not sure what CRA has done in terms of success, but that's really not the reason why I send my $35 to other legislative groups. CRA refused to support Kendrick Meek as a list of their "Smoke the Vote" candidates last year, that was fairly non-sensical and a bit too partisan for me...

    $20 phone plan

    If you were in a city that had great public wi-fi, this would be an option. For me, I spend 90% of my time in a place with a great wi-fi network, the problem is, once you are in a non-wifi network you are out of luck.

    Feedback on a business idea - Custom cigar blends

    I mean the real problem is the tobacco. I'm not sure how the wine version of this works, but I assume that a much larger marketplace helps a lot. But getting all the different kinds and grades of tobacco would just be a nightmare. I'm sure if you called up one of the shops that has in house...

    Feedback on a business idea - Custom cigar blends

    Was just having this conversation the other night, given there's a pipe retailer who just launched a campaign like this. I think someone will try it, but by all means the blends are going to be overwhelmingly bad. Would it be successful as a business? Who knows. I get the feeling that if CI did...

    Are the Liga T52 Stalk-Cut wrappers fragile?

    Saka likes to keep Ligas at 67ish because of the thicker wrappers.

    Who uses a xikar

    I own: Xikar Xi3 Xikar MTX Xikar XV Wolf V-Cut Palió Montecristo Signature Cutter Drew Estate Bulletproof and probably 10 other cutters. I use the MTX and the XV a lot. If you have gigantic hands than the Xi might be better than the Palió, but if I had to chose I'd go with the Palió as I never...

    Any update on Liga Privada L40 release?

    meh. Close to 100 boxes. For those that miss out on these, Nat Sherman has an event later in the year, only other time L40s are going to be officially on display.

    Rocky Patel Fifty

    Is it a good $20 cigar? No. But then again I can't really say there are many $20 cigars I feel are worth it, too much great stuff at $10-$12. Is it a good Rocky Patel? Absolutely. One of the few that I could smoke. Is it a Decade on steroids? No. It's got the control, smoothness and complexity...
