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 Official Cigar Deals Thread
Some of them you can get individually: The Forbidden X Lanceros, the BBMF and Chili Pepper Naturals (with the black Forbidden X bands), and of course the Sharks are now in regular production as are the Love Stories, which are now the Love Affairs (more or less, though the verdict on whether the... -
Haiti Relief Donations!
True enough. But one major problem, and a significant contradiction in the very practice of U.S. "aid" to foreign countries, is that America's political economic policies (in times of so-called "non crisis") run counter to the kinds of monetary gifting that goes on when a catastrophe like the...- Simoun

Humi combo?
Agreed with everything. The first humidor I bought was the same size, and it came with similar accessories (minus the cigars), and I got it for about $29 at Cheap Humidors. And unless you know you like those cigars, they may just end up consuming what little space is there already and you'll... -

Maybe nothing. But over the weekend I had a Reserva J21 and a King B at a birthday get-together with some friends. -

We'll see. That's too far for me to know but I'll keep it in mind. -
Cigar Ratings of Same Blend dif Sizes???
Yeah. Some smaller ring gauge sticks pack a stronger punch than their fatter counterparts (assuming, of course, that we're talking about two sticks of the same blend) because the heat (and hence the body and strength) is concentrated a little more by the thinner format. -
Cigar Aficionados Top 25 of 2009
Remember, as some have pointed out in this thread, the reviewers apparently only smoke the first third or so of the stick. Hell, if I smoked only that much of the cigar, I could "have" five or six of those monsters a day! :grin: -

Cost to make a cigar?
I think CAFTA would make it easier (read: relatively cheap) for sticks from Nicaragua and Honduras and the Dominican Republic, to name a few, to be shipped to the U.S., though what I'm assuming as the multinational composition of a lot of these cigar companies might be a stipulation on the kind... -

Wine and Cigars
Being someone who prefers dry wines, I've found that the best pairings for me are sticks with a slightly spicy, somewhat floral, cocoa-coffee-fruity profile (like some Illusiones and Tats) with a good Cabernet or some of the headier stuff from the Bourdeaux region. I would imagine a good...- Simoun

Illusione Epernay Series 2009 - Le Ferme - Robusto Extra
Agreed with all of the above. The CG:4's one of my favorite sticks. The Cuchillos Cubanos are remarkably good as well for a budget line (the coronas run at ~$4.00/stick) made up of medium and long fillers. If you've got the time, try Dion's presidente: the Illusione ~1~, a 9 1/4" monster...
