  • 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.

    I have HF 65% in my desktop and coolidor, both calibrated digital hygrometers read exactly 65% and I haven't had to add distilled water to the beads in over four months! Are they better than Shilala? Not sure, but they work as advertised and any other form of humidification besides beads is...

    Tatuaje P (quick review)

    I like both serie P offerings....not bad for a bunch of factory scraps, and you can't beat the price. Great for big groups or golfing!

    Nice scores with those VPR's.....nothing beats the feeling of scoring an LE that sells out in 30 seconds! Nice grabs everyone! Good to see some new sticks going around. Opus Belicoso XXX Room 101 Limitado Conjura

    Man O' War Puro Authentico

    Having my first Anarchy...

    Having my first Anarchy...

    There's a reason there are hundreds of boxes still available at Smoke Inn......decent smoke, but not one of Pete's best offerings IMO.

    Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro

    These sticks are what you see is what you get. A solid daily smoke that won't break the bank. Not overly complex, wonky burn, crusty construction, decent price tag! Nice review!
