• 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.

    [Experiment] Infused cigars stored with traditional cigars

    [UPDATE] 12/3/17 I Put a Don Pepin Cuban Classic in my infused humi October 25 and smoked on December 3rd. The Cellophane had the typical acid incense smell. Wrapper leaf had no infused smell to it. I did not notice any nuances of infused cigars during the smoke, it did seem to differ slightly...

    Ring gauge and flavor

    Totally agree with this and what lead me to my personal conclusion. I would order a smaller rg cigar to try and once I liked it figured id get a larger rg of the same but found that the larger rg of the same cigars had less flavor. So far I have not found a cigar that I like in a smaller rg that...

    Perfec Draw

    I received my perfecdraw and I must say it is really a well machined tool and can understand the cost of it. I wish we knew the place of manufacturing, I assume if it were made in USA it would be labeled but never the less it definitely is a tool that you can tell takes some time to machine. I...

    [Experiment] Infused cigars stored with traditional cigars

    Thats correct, that's why I had said "So far". I'll be smoking another from the same humidor tomorrow. I had thought about waiting until I smoked more cigars from the same humidor to post results but figured I'd post my first one that was a month into the experiment and then continue from there...

    Perfec Draw

    Just bit the bullet and ordered one on amazon, worked out since they also had a cyber monday deal on fire sticks and needed one as gift for Christmas, two birds one stone. I'll report back with my review!

    Perfec Draw

    Haha thanks for the quick reply, gotta love Saturday nights on botl. I really might just bite the bullet, after the super ligero i just had that was rolled way too tight and even after four pokes with my poker still wasnt as enjoyable as I had hoped, could tell its a great cigar just couldnt get...

    Perfec Draw

    How does this compare to a homemade draw poker? Right now im using a metal coat hanger piece that I cut and it works ok and isnt so big that it will crack a cigar thats too packed but doesnt remove anything either. Not sure if I'd want to spend 40 bucks on it either though. I had thought about...

    Smoking a stick right after its delivered

    Hahaha I only won 3 boxes one time, sort of on accident since I didn't think I'd actually get all three. I'm stocked now for awhile though lol the rest are all yours!

    Favorite mini/tinned cigars

    Has any one ever delved into mini cigars? I was at a local liquor store the other day that has a walk in humidor. Of course all the cigar prices were pere single stick and more than you would pay online but to my surprised they had a good selection of tinned mini cigars. The types that I have...

    Smoking a stick right after its delivered

    I definitely was worried about being disappointed since I had never smoke anything without atleast a week of rest but I was pleasantly surprised. I wont be making a habit out of it, especially since I dont make a habit of ordering 30 of the same sticks lol but just figured Id post my results to...

    Ring gauge and flavor

    I am by means an expert but after a few years of cigar smoking(previously only a pipe smoker), I have come to the conclusion the the smaller the ring gauge the better the flavor. Some of the sticks that I have enjoyed the least are 60rg, and some one the ones I have enjoyed the most are coronas...

    Smoking a stick right after its delivered

    I have always been a proponent of letting a stick rest at least a week after its been delivered just for good measure. Today I received 3 boxes of la bomba atoms, let the boxes come up to house temperature, since its pretty cold here in Boston. Then placed all 30 sticks in my humis. Well i broke...

    [Experiment] Infused cigars stored with traditional cigars

    I do mostly only smoke full bodied sticks so thats mostly what I put in but I did place a Romeo y Julieta 1875 in there which is the mildest stick I smoke but I only put it in there on October 25 so its needs more time. The infused cigars that are in there are 14 Acid Blondies, 1 Acid Kuba Kuba...

    [Experiment] Infused cigars stored with traditional cigars

    I have took it upon myself to do a little experiment with storing infused cigars like acid and nub cafe cigars with traditional cigars. I have read about how some people suggest to keep a separate humidor just for infused cigars since they are toxic to traditional cigars and will end up...

    Can Cbid Guru explain how I won this?

    Can Cbid Guru explain how I won this?

    So basically going after quantity is where I screwed up. I should just try to purchase a box at a time. Honestly this is the first time I've ever bought multiples boxes of the same cigar, its also the first time I seen La Bombas on cbid and I had just had a backorder canceled for the Nuclear...

    Can Cbid Guru explain how I won this?

    Yes the quantity was only 3 available all who which were claimed by separate bidders. From what I could tell no one rebid after I put in my bid since this all happened when it said "only seconds remaining" i posted my bid for 25 with a max of 34 and then won all 3 at 34. No one from what I could...

    Can Cbid Guru explain how I won this?

    Ok so I just won 3 boxes of 601 La Bomba Atoms for 34.00 a box. Which I am very happy about. What I dont understand is how Cbid works since it doesnt show a bid history like Ebay. What happened was I was watching the lot of 3 boxes which currently needed a bid of 25.00 to win, barring of course...
