  • 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.

    Drew Estate Cigar Safari #6, Part 1 (the one dcl attended)

    There's a ton of pictures and video content, so I've also linked the original post (I hope that's alright). Day 0, Tuesday. So long Old Man Winter. When I first went on the Cigar Safari trip back in 2013, it wasn’t long into the trip that I realized this could end up being a yearly...

    Plume or mold? The great debate!

    Here are things you can look for when trying to determine whether it's plume or mold: Is it located on or in the foot? Classic mold sign. Is it clumped together, or are there circles of it on the cigar? Classic mold sign. Is it a relatively young cigar? Classic mold sign. Plume...

    Ezra Zion Tantrum??

    I think the Tantrum is amazing. It made #4 on my list of top 13 cigars of 2013. Here's a review if you're interested: http://cigarfederation.com/profiles/blogs/review-ezra-zion-tantrum The TL;DR summary was: The Ezra Zion Tantrum is a full bodied and full strength cigar. Do not let the...

    Monte 2 bad burn again !!!

    In Canada I find Cubans have terrible burn issues in the winter months. Unless I'm smoking in a reasonably climate controlled smoking room, late spring or summer is the only time I'll get a good burn.

    Arielle from La Sirena Cigars on Cigar Obsession Tomorrow Night

    Well I sincerely apologize if you feel I'm attacking you. I absolutely did not intend my response that way.

    Arielle from La Sirena Cigars on Cigar Obsession Tomorrow Night

    I don't think anyone had an issue with the photo, I think the issue was with some of the comments that were being made. I re-read over the thread a few times and I don't see bullying? A small number of people expressed a desire for others to keep it classy. On one hand you're saying that...

    Arielle from La Sirena Cigars on Cigar Obsession Tomorrow Night

    Going to have to agree here. I know I'm a new guy to BoTL but part of the 'fraternity' response is what pushes women away from the cigar community when we should be doing everything in our power to encourage more people.

    Lighter deals

    Purchased a Prometheus God of Fire anniversary with a flint ignition instead of piezo electric. I have to say, the flint ignition system is far more reliable.

    Review: Cigar Federation The Collective

    Quite unexpectedly I came home from work and found a giant care package sitting on my doorstep from Chris Kelly of Ezra Zion Cigar Co. Inside was a pile of The Collective along with some great stickers. I’ve since handed out quite a few of them on my recent trip to Nicaragua, but not...

    Cohiba Robusto (2009)

    Easily one of the most recognized cigars and brands in the world. I obtained this Cohiba Robusto 2009, box code UNK from a fellow Canadian aficionado who I traded with to expand my collection of Cuban cigars. He asked that he remain anonymous. Nose: Lots of hay, barnyard, dry grass...

    Cigar breath - what's YOUR home remedy ?

    Make sure you're using Listerine that doesn't have alcohol. Listerine with alcohol will give you mouth and throat cancer.

    Review: Bodega Reunión Aperitivo Double Robusto

    I was fortunate enough to have a sampler pack of the newly launched Bodega cigars from the fantastic Cigar_G. Besides being a super classy Canadian from Ottawa, he’s an all around great BoTL. I went through the cigars he sent and decided the Reunión Aperitivo Double Robusto was going to be...

    Cigar breath - what's YOUR home remedy ?

    Smart Mouth is the only thing I've found to reliably take care of cigar breath. Once at night before I go to bed and then once again in the morning as I find that is when it's the worst.
