  • 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 lounge planning thread

    From your picture of the space it looks insulated so it’s tighter than just a normal garage type space. It looks like you might need a source for fresh air. The reason for the exhaust fans is to exhaust the cigar smoke. The existing air needs to be replaced with new air. An AC until does not...

    Minneapolis Super Bowl Cigar Events

    The Ditka & Jaws Cigars with the Stars, event is a charity event. So a percentage of the event cost is tax deductible. I’m assuming the more you pay the more access to get to the celebrities and perks. I think I read it is for NFL Charities. The Montecristo event is not a charity but a...

    Anyone ever buy previous La Flor Dominicana's Special Football Edition Cigars?

    This year the NFL Super Bowl is in my hometown of Minneapolis. For the past several years La Flor Dominicana has made a Special Football Edition commemorative cigar for the occasion. Have any BOTL purchased any of the past LFD Special Football Edition releases? Have they been worth the price...

    What happened here?

    A Boveda is an unlikely source of this moisture. However, it isn’t impossible. Even if they are 99.9999% reliable it still means they have a handful a year that fail. In the unlikely event the Boveda did fail, you should see something on the packet like a water stain or salt residue. Boveda...

    Desktop Humidor recommendations

    Checkout Craigslist. Create a search on humidors in your area and it will email you updates. There is a lot of junk but once in a while you hit something really good. I picked up one that was custom made for about half price. Solid walnut exterior and solid Spanish cedar interior - no...

    SensorPush vs Wireless Tag

    I have SensorPush for just over 6 months. I like it but I’m a gadget/tech guy. It works great but I have not used anything other than traditional static digital stuff. I don’t know anything about the monitor tags. The cost is comparable to a traditional quality hygrometer. They are $49...

    Wineador noob questions

    I would suggest going to YouTube and subscribe to Boveda's Channel. They also have a podcast you can subscribe. They do a periodic half-hour show if you want to listen. If you want to watch and listen, they post the video-cast of the same show on their YouTube channel.

    Wineador noob questions

    In general, Boveda says one pack per 25 sticks. So that would be 8 standard packs or more.

    Wineador noob questions

    Boveda works on volume of the container and not the actual number of cigars in the the unit. So take the number of cigars you could store in the unit and divide by their magic number. On the flip side, you can never have too many Boveda packs because it won't over humidify. The 320g packs...

    Revolvers?

    I’ve been looking 9mm S&W 986, 7-shot revolver. I also own a Ruger GP100. Revolvers are simple to shoot and maintain. With a good trigger job for the DA trigger pull they can be great shooters.

    Desktop Humidors & Humidity Control Issues

    I suggest watching this this YouTube from Boveda discussing changing humidity in humidors. I have had issues with mine over the last couple of weeks. In MN we have had a don’t of very cold (below zero) temps both day and night since Christmas. So we take outside air with a dew point we’ll...

    Humidor Box will not hold humidity

    Keep an eye on Craigslist. Set up an alert in your area for 'humidor' and wait. You will see all sorts of humidors but once in a while some really good ones come up. That includes custom made humidors, cooladors and wineadors
