  • 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.

    Pete losing Flor de Lis symbol??

    Someone from another site brought up a good point here: "I wonder if this issue has arisen now based on Tatuaje's recent effort to export cigars abroad. Altadis owns a portion of Habanos. Habanos owns (and distributes) Cuban Montecristos. Maybe the claim is that foreign consumers of Cuban...

    This is interesting about the Flor de Lis in the cigar world: http://cigarlaw.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/05-05-03-design-code-for-fleur-de-lis/

    Pete losing Flor de Lis symbol??

    (1) the strength of the mark - I think Pete would lose here (2) the proximity of the goods - He would lose this because both are cigars (3) the similarity of the marks - Lose here, both are Flor de Lis (4) evidence of actual confusion - This would be a battle which costs $$$ (5) the...

    Pete losing Flor de Lis symbol??

    Isn't there a lawyer on this forum??? Because Tat is in direct competition with Monte I think you can't compare it to the boy scouts. Many things probably have clovers on them, but I don't think the Celtics would like it if another NBA team had the same symbol. Anyone know if this could be legit?

    Pete losing Flor de Lis symbol??

    Well if you look at Opus they have threatened people that have branded anything resembling an X. That company then has two choices. Change the symbol, or if that threat is legit go to court. In the cases with Opus the companies changed the symbol. Going to court costs a lot of money, and who...

    Pete losing Flor de Lis symbol??

    I heard that Altadis went up to Pete Johnson and basically told him that he needs to lose the Flor de Lis symbol or they will sue him. Below you can see why they aren't too big on him using the Flor de Lis: Knowing that Opus X has been successful with things like this recently I think...

    Looking to start a non specific Fantasy Football league- update

    How about a friend that smokes cigars and knows what he is talking about. I was thinking personally from my stash off the top of my head: Perdermo ESV Man O' War some sort of Padilla Something by Pepin other

    Looking to start a non specific Fantasy Football league- update

    There was someone else making a NC Cigar league but he has not gotten back to me after a few days already, so I am down for this one.

    Crack

    If the lid is shiny wood I bet a piece of cellophane that you wrap food in (you know the kind that sticks to itself when you are trying to cover food) would stick to the top to the wood covering the crack keeping it pretty darn air tight. Easy fix until you come up with something else.

    Disc Golf

    I use to play all the time. Haven't for maybe two years now. Use to be able to throw just under 100 yrds. I got a hole in one once too. It is really fun, and around here it is free after you buy the dics.

    What do you do when you can't finish your cigar?

    Unless it was a premium or super premium cigar I will just ditch it. I have enough cigars atm that one can be sacrificed once in a while due to outstanding circumstance.

    Opus and Cedar Wrapping = Mold?

    I noticed you said tin, but I am not sure if you kept them in it in your humi. I personally never keep my cigars in the tube or tin if they come in one. I find that these are for whatever reason mold growing magnets. I don't fully take the cigars out of the tube put I keep the tube lids off...
