  • 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.

    WOW....I am lost for words!!

    I have had similar experiences with random reg production cigars. I have smoke from probably 30 boxes of 02 Punch black princes and most of that is due one box we had on the shelf a couple of years ago. It was top 25 cigar worthy but the rest have just been mediocre. I will smoke from another 30...

    Late night smoking and discussion thread

    N Nice to see another FChatter here on BOTL. I just caught a three-day ban from Yin for shutting down Dr. Tommy Cosgrove. I am pretty much done with FChat at this time. CA is mostly useless when it comes to reviews IMHO. My cigar brother down in South Florida gets me his two for one free...

    - Yesterday's Great Cigars -

    Funny that you say that the Diamond Crown are easily forgotten - I have been meaning to buy some of those for years and keep forgetting lol. One day I'll have one :). CAO's - great call. For me it's the CAO Criollo! Tastes like nothing else I smoke, smoke em every now and again. Never...

    ITC 10th Anniversary

    I think I have the most amazing wife in the world. I've been talking a lot about cigars lately, reading CA in bed, checking out BOTL, things like that. I briefly mentioned something to her the other day about how the #1 smoke in CA's top 25 wasn't a CC. I find out last night that she bought...

    From Puff to BOTL.. Seasoned puffer from Sunny FL ( New Smyrna Beach)

    Hi all. I am a seasoned smoker, i guess I can call myself that. Started smoking 2003 or so, started with what at the time I thought would be the best choice from NCs: Monte, RyJs and Macanudos, and JR Alternatives. Soon after, gave up for a few years, as the cigars were bad and harsh to me...

    Cigar Aficionado Top 25 for 2011

    I have to agree here. While it could have been done many different ways better most of what jayro has said has been right. We are heavily biased here as to what we like and as such think that others should agree with our choices. I have long ago accepted that I am rarely right on these things as...

    Humidor or Coolidor?

    hello BOTL and SOTL, I am new to the Cigar world and I have approx 25-30 cigars so far, planning to buy my first box very soon after this issue is resolved ;) Here's my issue, I read a lot about humidors and coolidors, but I haven't decided yet.

    Pulled The Trigger on an Aristocrat

    After months of being fed up with storage issues in my Newair I was faced with a decision to purchase a second one or go with a cabinet. The end result was pretty crystal clear. I went with a new custom cabinet from Bob @ Staebell and Associates. Living in Texas I knew it had to be cooled. I...

    Humidor or Coolidor?

    I can't stress a coolidor enough, get a pound of beads of 1-2 of those 320g bovedas and you're good to go. I recommend the 120qt cooler, it's only about $54 at walmart.......it holds a ton, and this way you could build/age your collection. I have a 3000k cigar cabinet, a wineador and a...

    Humidor Questions

    +100000000 what he said. When I first started I just used the tupperware method getting the boveda's from Ron and they kept the cigars perfect. After I knew this was a hobby I was going to stick with the search for a good humidor started. I was fortunate enough to get something here from a BOTL...

    Cigar Aficionado Top 25 for 2011

    See this was my point all along. We all have individual tastes. Just because alot of guys like Ligas or Tats etc. doesn't mean that everyone does. I've had one Liga that i enjoyed and it was the L40 to my palate it was the only one that didn't taste like dirt. Maybe I'm a heathen who knows...
