• 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.

    Why do people spend so much time arguing about CC's

    Instead of analyzing that I just rolled over and farted....Pepsi and Coke comment was just an analogy but thx for playing.

    Humidification Beads

    Shouldn't the criteria be....best quality of the media for it's intended usage? The "cheapest" tends to make me a little nervous when making informed decisions...kind of like saying what is the cheapest meat to eat...Ribeye or squirrel meat?

    Natural or Maduro

    We as hobbyists are people who choose what we like. I love Maduros because they offer a sweeter balance and the wrappers are a bit stronger....Naturals tend to be a bit more brittle and not as sweet so as with so many things it comes down to individual tastes. Try one Maduro...or 2 and judge...

    Which CC do you have 5 boxes of?

    Espys...Siglo IV....Lusitania's and Monte 2s....from 2 -18 years old. Yes, I built alters for them to worship them and play chior music in the background...it's very religious.

    Why do people spend so much time arguing about CC's

    Might as well debate Coke or Pepsi. Cigars, steaks etc, is subjective at best...I know people who hate Opus and Cohiba Espys...that's just insanity but they'll still try to convince others it's true. Might as well try and convince me that if I can flap my arms fast enough that I could fly.

    How is this scientifically possible in a humidor?

    I'll go ahead and say it....those sizes of humidors are usually cheap and won't keep RH where they need to be....esp. those sizes. They are from China or some other place where they use cheap plywood with veneers to look like they are quality. Tupperware blows them away at a price of $10 for a...

    Ammonia in New leaf

    Fermentation = ammonia. Regardless if its in leaf form or in cigar form. ammonia fermentation occurs in many other fungi that are common in soil.....Bacteria, fungi, and plants reduce nitrate to ammonium to assimilate nitrogen into their biomass ....it's a natural process and as Min Ron New...

    Aging

    Preachin to the choir. I had gotten into the habit of "saving" all of my great cigars over the years which is why I have some that are 20 years old and others between 8 - 20 and at my age there is a distinct possibility I'll never smoke them. The addiction to aging/saving is real and I know a...

    The Official Cigar Deals Thread

    Talk about a new definition to the term 'reach around'....actually you bring up a true story where years ago I was busted by Mrs. Cigary where I ordered a few boxes that were too good to pass up....a few boxes from that little Communist Island...2 boxes of Espys...2 boxes Siglo IV...and 2 boxes...

    Aging

    Some of these photos are killin me.....I feel like I took Cialis looking at them. Honestly....the one thing about aging that frustrates me ( and I age a lot of cigars....) is that as we age we lose our sense of taste....our taste buds die off and adult males have about 10,000....when we get...

    The Monster bent me over the table this week....so many good deals ( with F/S ) that my Credit Card is weeping. If all of these orders come on the wrong day and my wife is home....I'll be the "late" Cigary43.

    Home made cigar rest

    Love stuff like this...I'm an accessory freak as it is and this smells like something I need.

    Be prepared to get a little woody with your next bottle of bourbon

    Will have to try this at some point...infusing is an art form and it's not like mixing chocolate into milk. There needs to be a practical and proven process that isn't gimmicky which can backfire....like the Jim Beam Honey....which tasted like ass in a glass. Seems that they thought they could...

    Slow smoker? Fast smoker?

    I tend to wear ash color clothes for that reason alone.
