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.

So I smoked a very smooth stogie on the way home today. It was 2 mata fina leaves and .5 Dom ligero bound and wrapped in WLT American CT shade. Smooth all the way to the nub and only 2 weeks old.- Jim D

Non designated leaf: how does it fit into my blend strategy?
Would you help us along with some leaf recipes to improve the smoking? I recall your mention in the past of using some vanilla extract with either vodka or Jim Beam and misting leaf with that mixture. Thanks in advance, Jim D- Jim D

Non designated leaf: how does it fit into my blend strategy?
The mata fina I use as a viso. Some individual leaves are thin enough to be seco and you can adapt for those if you desire. I've even smoothed out a couple to try them as wrappers buy that's a lot of smoothing because it comes so bunched up. I think this has been out of stock for quite a...- Jim D
