• 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.

    Candela wrapper

    No. It's been cured that way. Think of it like this: if you leave a natural wrapper long enough, it won't turn into a maduro. On the other hand, there are cigars that, when puffed too quickly, you can anger––their response is to swell up and turn green. :smokingbo

    Nascar time in Las Vegas

    Maybe. I've got friends coming in from out of town, and we were planning on going to Casa Fuente sometime anyway, so if it works out we might just run into you guys there....

    Vote for March's SOTM Review

    Hey Alfonso . . . why don't you set up the poll for the SOTM in April and include the sticks you can get down there so it'll be easier for you to join in that month? I'm sure a lot of the folks up here won't have any trouble finding those NCs. The more the merrier, right? :smokingbo

    Vote for March's SOTM Review

    I'm thinking that if we open the reviews up to any vitola from any of those three lines, we'll just end up defeating the purpose of these STOM reviews. For me, the benefit of such a thread is to get a broad, comparative review of a stick or, as some have suggested, an entire line. Any stick...

    A friendly challenge....

    Oliva V Lancero's fine with me. So let's say this: whoever wants to review can review, but the first person to do a write-up starts the thread and, if possible, stickies it, and the subsequent reviewers post their impressions in that thread as well. We can keep these threads going for as long...

    A friendly challenge....

    If this happens I'll get it on it. It'd be great to pool together a bunch of different opinions/impressions on the same stick––it facilitates discussion here but it's also incredibly convenient . . . how many of us read multiple reviews of the same stick on different websites to...

    I'm really looking forward to these. Can't wait. If the quality's up to par with the recent Drew Estates offerings, and the cigars have been blended to Dion's specifications, then these sticks should be incredible....

    Short smokes

    If you really want to stick to that 20 min. limit, try a Petite Tatuaje, a Pepin Demi Tasse, or the Cuchillos Cubanos 32.
