• 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.

    Don't make me send your handwriting to a forensic lab...

    That's beautiful!

    I've been hit! I've been hit!

    I started to pick up a box of the Ramon Bueso when I got my first drop, but I went for a little more variety to start out with. I don't regret my decision (the Gran Habanos GH2 was a really delicious 2 buck stick) but I'm looking forward to trying those. And all of them really. That fat AB MAXX...

    I've been hit! I've been hit!

    My first bombing, and it hit twice in a day! Many thanks go out to @GoBison and @mjones9630 - they have given me a lot of new flavors to try, and lots to live up to as a member of this community. I hope to get my stock up so that I can do the same in kind for a new batch of newcomers one day...

    Small cigar req

    Thanks for the input everybody - after looking about a bit and taking advice, I've got an order in for a fiver each of CAO Daggers, Drew Estate Jucy Lucy, and a CAO Flavor Sampler. We'll see what she thinks! Thanks again for the input!

    I never know what to say here

    I have discovered that my mail carrier is possibly the laziest person on the planet, and if it requires anything other than sticking her hand out the window it's too much work. .*sigh* I'll have to pick it up at the post office tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll have to pick up mjones package on Friday.

    Hello fellow BOTL

    Clanton here, about an hour south of B'ham. Well met, and maybe we can meet up for a smoke sometime! I'm kind of new to the hobby, and everyone here is great with advice/suggestions/general conversation.

    Small cigar req

    #Goals For real tho, lots of great suggestions here. She doesn't already smoke cigarettes, but we do enjoy a hookah from time to time. We always use a flavored shisha in it, so an infused will probably be easier to start her with. But that's not an absolute, because she likes the smell of a...

    Small cigar req

    I've seen another poster here or another place that keeps boxes of these... I'll keep them in mind! Sweet is certainly good, and was on the link above - I may order these and the Undercrowns to give her a couple options to try.

    Small cigar req

    So I see. My drive isn't long enough for even a cigarillo - I've got about 10 minutes tops. I may start getting up early once in a while to light one up.

    Small cigar req

    Ooh, I've heard good things about the Undercrown Shades, and I'll bet the Sumatran binder would be really nice. Those may make it onto my next order. Thanks for that!

    Small cigar req

    While I'm figuring out what I like, my wife is curious about my cigars too. She hasn't tried one yet, and I think the commitment of a normal sized cigar is more of a try-it-and-see than she wants. I've looked at a few of the small cigars, but I'd like a few pointers on what I might get a fiver...

    Hello from Florida

    Hi from Alabama! Don't mind @GoBison - I think he just likes shipping cigars. Totally cool.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Gran Habano GH2 while taking a break from my car repair. Quite enjoying this one, will review later.

    New Humidor!

    Haha yep... you've got me a package on the way! It has been stored a bit, so you're absolutely right - it'll need seasoning. He said the mechanical hydrometer was working when he stored it, so I might just check the calibration and go with it if it looks good.

    New Humidor!

    In my intro thread I mentioned I had a cigar loving brother whom I don't get to visit as often as I like. Today we both went to my moms (for Mother's Day, obvs) and we chatted about cigars awhile. He has had a sinus infection, so we didn't pull any out to smoke. But we talked a bit about my...

    Show/List your latest NC Purchase

    My first haul! Don't judge too harshly - I really just went for price. I hope the Gran Habanos are decent, since they make up the bulk of the deal. This bunch cane from CigarAuctioneer, and weighed in at about 2 bucks a stick. Woot! EDIT: Total haul: 2 ea Gran Habano/ Rico Family Azteca Aguila...
