• 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.

    "The Dark Side"...

    Have some pics to add obviously...but the forum isn't letting me post from my home PC for some reason. Only my phone... Stay tuned..

    "The Dark Side"...

    We've all heard the term, and it has several meanings obviously... Here's an example of how it's applicable for the palate transformation from the stronger/fuller NCs.... to the pursuit of equal flavor without the kick in the head. *disclaimer....not an endorsement that Cubans are better by...

    CC road less travelled smokes..

    Not a single vote for Punch or RyJ huh? If we're talking regular release only, which wasn't mentioned I know...not sure I could pick either LGC or PL due to the long & thin smokes in their lineup (save for the PLPC). I enjoy the CG and Robusto vitolas too much.. For now for me it's HdM and...

    CC road less travelled smokes..

    Just for fun, let's say HSA discontinues all the Cuban big boy brands... Cohiba, Partagas, Monte, Upmann, Bolivar, Ramon Allones all gone. RA is debatable here, but I knew if left, most would choose it. Conversely, Punch & RyJ probably belong here, but not sure folks would choose them as they...

    Just picked it up today!

    Surprised to see this thread at the top... Just as you may be surprised what the contents of my Vino now holds. Perfect example of palate and preferences changing. And since I didn't add more storage space, there was some serious turning over of the smokes in these pics. Perhaps in a bit I'll...

    Who wants more Little Boris?

    Hot damn LEs are a hoot I tell ya... All I got from this thread though, besides being one of the silliest in history, is CMac is a dick for voting no... wait...for THINKING about voting no...since he didn't actually vote. My personal vote... There is MUCH more to debate here. Carry on..

    Liga P #9 or T-52

    One has been done: http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php/48588-Which-Liga-Privada-do-you-like-best?highlight=liga ......albeit data is somewhat dated, but for as long as I can recall the T52 always seems to edge out the 9 in favorite votes by a decent margin. Question would...

    Show/List your latest CC Purchase

    First box of REs I've ever bit on Nate. I've bought 5'ers here and there, but then I go and post the "build your own sampler" thread, put these on my wish list, and poof, I come across these. It was a test of self control that I failed. Big time. Like the size, and the PL profile is right up my...

    PL Regalias de Londres have landed...had a cell phone pic, but that just didn't do these bands justice. I'm a super amatuer photographer, but at least I tried to artsy it up..lol.

    Build your own sampler

    don't be scared Nate....I promise not to send ya any on your list ;). Certainly don't want, nor expect, anyone to send anything from mine.....just was passing the time & doing some cigar daydreaming is all.

    Build your own sampler

    Lol..no joke, if I woulda been quicker on a FS item last night at OLH...that VERY easily coulda become a reality, as I would've needed to make some room & help fund the purchase. Fortunately I suppose, someone beat me to em'. Here's what my sampler would look like. Spent a lot of time chasing...

    Build your own sampler

    ^ grab a Casa CG and a Tangerine Mojito Mike and I think you'll be plenty happy...of course any of the smokes your bringing would do in a pinch too of course. Have fun & hope u win big.. Hard to decide what my ideal sampler would be, didn't really have one in mind when I posted this. Will think...

    Build your own sampler

    little bored tonight and just got a new laptop (previously been desktop only).....and this is the best thread idea I could come up with as I'm sitting here pretending to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit w/ my son (yawn). I've seen plenty of samplers for sale in various places, but there's typically...

    Pete Johnson's new line: L'Atelier

    You're missing my point Nate, which I outlined for the most part back my intial post. The act of ripping off ideas or marketing doesn't bother me, particularly in the cigar world, as it has all pretty much been done already...as you mentioned. What irks me, why I don't really know, is the...

    Pete Johnson's new line: L'Atelier

    Dammit Craig... Don't take the fun away!! For the record, I am keeping it light. No ill-will here against anyone. I wasn't intending to perpetuate the copy cat notions, but it was just too damn easy. I merely flipped it & reversed it.

    Pete Johnson's new line: L'Atelier

    BUT... If Adidas clearly stated they were "paying homage" to Nike though, THEN it'd be cool. You know, cause they're being up front about it and stuff. And c'mon Nate...take a closer look at the bands. There is at the very least, an ample amount of "homage" being paid there too.

    Pete Johnson's new line: L'Atelier

    Surely it's merely a coincidence that Pete chose this thread, where accusations of "copy-cat" could rear their head, to come back and post on after not being around for so long? Nah...it's not a coincidence. Do I care if it's a ripoff on size(s) right down to the pig-tail cap & band? Nope, I...
