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.

Cigar Aficionado Top 25 for 2011
True :) I also think that while the smokers on the boards make a (almost miniscule) percentage of overall smokers, we (as a group) probably have the largest buying power...Most smokers on the boards buy often, smoke often, buy different sticks, are willing to try new things, and spend more... -
