  • 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.

    Favorite Illusione Epernay vitola?

    I don't know if I would go with "spicier", but definitely more full-bodied. I get a lot of real rich tobacco and a really nice raisin (some might say cherry) flavor from those, as well as a nice sweet kind of caramel flavor. The Epernay, for me is in the low range of medium, with a nice...

    Favorite Illusione Epernay vitola?

    For the Epernay, i think the Le Elegance is the vitola to stick to. Not my favorite Illusione, but still a good one. My favorites are still a toss up between the 88 and 888.

    Yep......perfect excuse for a WA herf. Say maybe Smokey Joe's sometime between 27-30 December? That would rule! Oh yeah, almost forgot.....Welcome, fanboy!

    So who wants to learn how to homebrew?

    Pulled trigger on this. I've been wanting to learn brewing for a long time, and now I'm stationed with some experienced brewers with room for me to brew at their place. Off we go!! First off, a seriously hoppy IPA.

    New Year's CIGAR Resolutions!

    Just one. Since I now live in the middle of the country, (Kansas), I would really like to meet more folks from this board face to face and have a smoke.

    I really want to understand this...but it saddens me all the same.

    Thanks for the thoughts, dude. The final pullout is being conducted in the only way it can be, which is as quietly and securely as possible in order to ensure force protection. Were we to make a big public deal out of it in Iraq, I can assure you that some of those troops would not be coming...

    Alec Bradley Cigar Company

    Welcome! I have yet to try the Black Market, but really dig the Tempus and just ordered replacements for the Presnados that recently disappeared from my humi. And yes, this is THE best cigar community on the web.

    Humi in Carry-On

    I flew home with over 100 cigars in a tupper in my carry on. They ran them twice, but other than that, no troubles. Go for it.

    Today, I begin living again... A big THANK YOU to my brothers.

    Dude....glad you're taking charge of yourself and really doing yourself some good. Recognizing things for what they are and talking about it is exactly what you need to be doing. I had a pretty major depression myself a few years back, except I didn't handle it nearly as well as you seem to be...

    Home defense weapon

    I'm with the short, maneuverable shotgun if you can't coin up for a proper hand cannon. If you can make them yourself or have somebody make them, load it with rocksalt in the first round, followed by XX buck in the second and subsequent rounds. Chances are, whoever you are defending your home...

    I'm Traveling Cross Country

    Hey, fellers. I'm leaving tomorrow, driving from WA state to my new digs at Fort Riley, Kansas, taking the southern route. Going down I 5 and across on I 40, through Cali, Arizona, New Mexico, etc, towing a big ol' 5th wheel. Just wondering if there is anybody I might stop by and have a...

    Scotch and cigars

    Pretty much all good advice here I think. That being said, try one or two or three of these, and if they don't do it for you, scotch might not be your thing. Until I hit my 40's, scotch just didn't do much for me. Now my only problem is that I can't quite afford to drink the stuff I like the...
