  • 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.

    cutters and flying

    I get stopped occasionally (1 in 30 flights), they just look at it. I've traveled with Xikar Xi, Palió, MTX, Wolf V, Xikar XV, traditional guillotine. Soft flame lighters, also allowed, just be prepared to be stopped every time through TSA.

    Sam Lotano Oval

    I wasn't that impressed. Although, I'm not a San Lotano fan, definitely the best of the series.

    (NHC) Surrogates Cigars Bone Crusher

    I take Dan's word as truth: -He's already worked with Viaje, including a NHC exclusive -He's already worked with Raíces for a house brand In addition, the reasoning he gave me behind the names/fonts seems to not make sense in playing, the unofficial Viaje housebrand card.

    (NHC) Surrogates Cigars Bone Crusher

    I should have just called you, if only I had a piece of cardboard/paper with your phone number on it. I think there's a valid discussion of (presuming this isn't a Viaje): Are the band too much? Why the first word in each of the vitolas are "Skull" & "Bones" respectively? One can...

    (NHC) Surrogates Cigars Bone Crusher

    I think elaborating/reiterating things that he's said in other places. Explaining the names, etc. As for the factory, that's not happening soon it seems.

    (NHC) Surrogates Cigars Bone Crusher

    Look, I'm sure Dan is getting close to clearing a lot of things up. Surrogates is a regular production cigar. I think it's very clear that this is not a Viaje, nor from Raíces nor My Father. Even if Dan hadn't put that info out, making regular production store exclusives doesn't seem to be...

    (NHC) Surrogates Cigars Bone Crusher

    EL was made at Raíces. Look I like Dan and I told Dan what I thought, but still... the Skull Breaker from far away looks like a S&B Red.

    (NHC) Surrogates Cigars Bone Crusher

    Unlike the Donkey Droppings which were hush hush as "Viaje seconds" or what have you, these aren't Viajes in any shape or form. For the record, Farkas denied the whole Donkey Dropping thing.

    So that's where Farkas got inspiration for the Skull & Bones from.

    Does anyone know the prices for casa fuente cigars?

    Everyone is different. Even as a Lancero smoker, it's a toss-up between the Corona Gorda for me. The Lancero used to be the cool cigar (and still is to an extent) because bundles were hardly ever, that seems to have changed a bit. Bundles are in most of the time, but at no where close to the...

    Does anyone know the prices for casa fuente cigars?

    If you a bring a few foreign things and give them to the humidor manager, you might be able to raise your chances. Just a rumor.

    What would you recommend (similar to AVO Heritage)

    That. The new Artisan's Passion is definitely something that will be close. Rodrigo's darker line is close, but the AVO is one hell of a cigar.

    The New Ronson Jetlite

    I order 10 of these at a time. Put one through the washer a few months ago, lit on the first time.

    Using American Cedar to line a Cooler

    The reason why Spanish cedar is recommended is exactly what you have found. It absorbs humidity better and doesn't have as strong of an aroma. Lining a cooler isn't a necessity, particularly if you are using beads or some other active humidification system and trays or beads. Personally I just...
