• 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.

    My cheap tupperdore set-up (feedback welcomed)

    Hygro should not swing 10% during the day regularly. If you can find bovedas, they're better than the foam humidifier. Even kitty litter would work better in that environment. Congrats on the smokes. :)

    Hey newbies! Interested in a Virtual Herf?

    No, don't check them. If the cigars aren't smoking well, I take a look, that's all.

    This is in no way trying to dissuade you to do it.

    I stand corrected. (and for those new to the game, he is an expert even though I have shoes older than him.)

    What do you know about guns bro? Always mouthing off like you're some sort of "expert." :)

    Hey newbies! Interested in a Virtual Herf?

    Yes, but that's assuming that they're all getting the same flavor (and that it's objective) and that you feel the need to find the same flavor from the cigar. I'm just saying that there are many people who just smoke the cigars (like me) who have smoked for decades and don't get those...

    Hey newbies! Interested in a Virtual Herf?

    I think you should try this as I'm sure some would be interested. But just for your information, experienced guys do not always find similar flavors in the same cigar.

    Why is two enough? We keep saying stuff like this to the new guys and they think it's a competition and they need a wineador or two or whatever.

    There is no such point. Everyone is different. Wineador is not enough for many people. Only issue is heat. If your house/area is hot, you might need a wineador. If not, regular coolers will work just as fine or better.

    You don't need to waste money on cedar trays right away or ever. Just pick up a box or two from your local cigar shop.

    Anybody using Puisais method to light up?

    I often get lazy and don't do this but I find that if I heat up the foot and gently puff while the flame is close to but not on the stick is the most optimal way of lighting a cigar. Flame should never touch the tobacco according to some. I find that helps more than cutting off the top after...

    Hygrometer Probe...for Cigar Science

    I was actually being serious with the question. Unless you've had boxes of the cigar and know the flavors, it is hard to pinpoint optimal. Testing the same stick in 5 different rhs won't do the job without a control and a decent sized sample. (and that was way way more than I intended to...

    Used humidor help

    one of those big bovedas are more than enough for those small tupperwares. As has been said, the Cigar Oasis is not a two way system and only adds humidity, it does not take away. Many people do not use such a system as a result. If you're relatively new to this hobby, you might want to...

    Cuban quality

    so $200 box would be around 325. Still might be cheaper than stores there.
