  • 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.

    Found something that works

    One of my refrigeration wholesalers had it. They never carry them, but for some reason brought it in for someone who didn't pick it up. It had been kicking around in the back warehouse for a while, got a scratch on the side, and they lost the screws for the handle. So they gave me the "scratch...

    Found something that works

    Just picked this up on Wednesday. Got a pretty good deal, so I couldn't pass it up. A bit of an upgrade from my mini-fridge. Haier 49 bottle wine cellar. Going to have to figure out shelves soon enough as it has lots of shelf-ledges. Forrest you might be getting a question come your way in the...

    Strong Coronas?

    I really like the JDN Dark Antano Corojo's in the Peligroso size. The box I just got have a great punch right off the start. I know Dan just did a review of these, and it didn't seem like he was getting too much of a punch, but maybe I have a differing opinion with my palate :dunno: Either way...

    Cuaba Diademas Review

    I think this was a way to flex his "ashtray pr0n" without being too obvious hahaha. I love Cuaba's for a nice change-up once in a while. They are definitely not full, nor are they complex, but they have a wonderful flavor that just seems to invite you into a mellow, easy-going relaxed state...

    Anyone in NC looking for a humi ?

    I don't really know where to post this, so it will go in this thread i guess. If you are looking for a humi and live in North Carolina, you can do a local pickup of this thing. I thought someone might be interested for that price. I would love to pick this thing up, but it's local only, and the...

    How many cigars consecutively?

    Basing my answer on the poll = 2 cigars before I feel like my palate just doesn't pick anything up, and therefore makes for a waste of a good third cigar. I do know that if I give about an hour between cigars, with some re-hydration, I don't have much of a problem. Eating will bring back the...

    Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo Peligroso

    Just got a box of these a couple weeks ago. I absolutely love these cigars ! The strength is perfect, the abundance of the rich flavors are wonderful and the vitola size works just nicely when you don't want too much cigar. These had climbed into my top 10 rankings from last year on such a...

    cigars and pets?

    My dog jumps on me EVERY time I enter the house, whether I have been outside to light the bbq, or gone all day to work. I am constantly amazed at the lack of time recognition our dog has. It wouldn't be so bad if he just greeted me happily, but he's jumping and panting, and working himself up to...

    Tequila inquiry

    So I was wondering if anyone here likes the sipping tequila's. I have recently tried my first "real", good tequila this past weekend ( El Conde Azul Anejo). It was oaky, a bit buttery, and all kinds of good ! Tasted like amber rum but with a nice tequila sweetness to it. I have liked tequila...

    Filtration anyone ?

    Nope. Had an Oreck XL Plus that was a POS. I will not do portable purifiers as I have the major portion of the equation already: a decent fan to move air in the furnace. I have the ability to make a carbon filtration system myself, but want to know if it is a waste of time, and should just...

    Filtration anyone ?

    I have been trying to figure out for a while now what the best move is for getting rid of the cigar smoke/smell when I smoke in the garage. I do have both kids' bedrooms above the garage, and want to keep the smell out of the house as much as possible. The roof of the garage is drywalled, but...

    Best way to freeze a LOT of cigars?

    Oh yeah, the deepfreeze will also not dehumidify the sticks as fast as there is no air movement in the cabinet, but may take longer to penetrate to the center of the cigars. Would suggest keeping them in a bit longer than a couple days.

    Best way to freeze a LOT of cigars?

    Lol @ -80 comment. I work on refrigeration, and have never had the pleasure of dealing with ultra-lows of that temp...they are rather hard to come by. I love when people say that putting cigars in your frezzer at home isnt going to kill anything because the cigars are being frozen in special...

    Vegas Robaina...WOW!

    I did open up the box and dig into 2 of them, and gave away 2 others. These sticks are fantastic right now, and can see them developing into a chocolaty/rich stick later in years. I am going to have an EXTREMELY hard time keeping my hands out of this box.

    BVH 2.....Swedens biggest herf hosted by me...

    OH COME ON...NOT AGAIN. Do we really have to sit through all your amazing cigar selections, and fantastic time again ? Why can't you just be a normal boring guy who doesn't do anything cool ? Heh Have fun Ben, hopefully everything goes well. That must have been a big ordeal to organize an event...

    Explain your avatar

    My avatar is a pic of the 10 cigar pack that I blended when at the Segovia factory in Nicaragua last January. Pretty cool experience. We were told to pick a wrapper, binder and 3 filler types for our cigars out of a large book of tobaccos. My blend (if anyone cares) was; Wrapper- Habano...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Tried something different tonight: A Fuente 898 Don Carlos ... not my thing. Was expecting more flavor and depth. EPC New Wave Brilliante... now this was much better. Buttery smooth. Just a though for anyone ordering these; make sure you let them rest for at least a week in the humi. Have...

    Not very impressed with the My Father line

    I definitely think you are on the same path that I started on with the big black pepper spice inherant through most of the My Father line. I really wasnt a big fan for the first year or so, but after trying a bunch of stuff, I have found that my palate has reached a point where that pepper is...

    Happy Birthday, Gibbleguts

    Happy b-day man. I can only guess Scotch and Stogies are in order.
