  • 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.

    To freeze or not to freeze?

    For what it is worth. I do work with scientists. Cryo units (-80 C) stop all cellular activity. -20 C are used when such extremes are not needed. Not sure how this translates to Beatles but I suspect extreme cold may be needed - otherwise we wouldn't have insects here in the NE Then again the...

    Dry Boxing in a Humid Climate

    I personally use humidity beads which will dehumidify if it passes 65 or 70% but some sticks do smoke better at a lower humidity.

    Full Boxes of Opus X

    I agree with advice here establish some relationships with the people who own the shops. Also, most of the people I know who have a lot of Opus have a lot of patience and a fairly good size cigar budget. $30 is on the low side for some of the hard to find stuff. Oh and welcome to BOTL!

    To freeze or not to freeze?

    Interesting I have always been very curious about this. I do not freeze but live in a climate where it is not generally an issue 10 months out of the year. That said I have found holes on occasion but never had an outbreak (luck maybe). What makes me curious is I refuse to freeze items such as...
