  • 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.

    Late night smoking and discussion thread

    Let me catch up and get on the same page. I looked at Discord and it looks very comprehensive. It has integrated chat, voice, video, screen share, video share (play YouTube video to a group) and some other features. It seems that @EL Corojo posts a lot of YouTube music video to share. The...

    Unhumidified Cigars

    I wouldn't call these unhumidified since they are in a humid environment. They just are not in a humidor. All a humidor does is create a micro-environment. We sometimes get fixated on humidity control because most people live in climates that have wide ranges in weather, temp and humidity...

    Late night smoking and discussion thread

    I just stopped by to see what was going on for a minute since I saw @EL Corojo was posting. If I get time over the next couple of days I may do a bit of research just to educate myself on what might be possible on a budget of nothing. If I find anything interesting I’ll let you know. Have a...

    Late night smoking and discussion thread

    I was thinking on similar lines as a VHERF or a near real-time feed. I’m sure there a way to do it but I just haven’t got into making it happen, but it would be nice to have WebEx type thing going where people could talk, text chat and share the YouTube videos. Maybe that’s FB live, I don’t...

    What did you shoot today?

    After seeing the Valor as inspiration I went out and shot my Springfield TRP. I used my own .45ACP using 230 grain FMJ from Pressision Delta, 4.3 grains of Hodgdon Titegroup and Winchester large pistol primer in used processed brass. All from my Dillon 550B.

    It certainly will have its way if people with an interest do nothing.

    Altria—the largest tobacco concern in the United States—wrote "We agree with FDA..."

    The big difference is Altria is the cigarette gorilla and not a handmade cigar company. The cigarette fight was over 45 to 50 years ago. Cigarettes and premium handmade cigars are comparable like apples and bananas. Only about 300 million handmade cigars are made per year vs 300 mil cigarettes...

    Altria—the largest tobacco concern in the United States—wrote "We agree with FDA..."

    Gotta read the news, man. FDA proposed new rules go back to the Obama admission. People think the new rules would kill premium hand-rolled cigar business in and shipping to the US.

    SensorPush Great Customer Service

    I like the data it provides and the Bluetooth technology it has lets you communicate with it out to about 300 ft. radius without WiFi. Then it has the WiFi option if you want constant contact or are distributed over multiple locations.

    cigartech

    I have been using the "My Humidor" thing they have on Cigar Geeks portal. The value they have is the database of cigars when you add them. The interface is clumsy. The problem with the App is Apple and Google. They have phobias on certain mainstream products like cigars and firearms. You...

    Altria—the largest tobacco concern in the United States—wrote "We agree with FDA..."

    Altria—the parent of Nat Sherman and the $25 billion company behind Marlboro cigarettes, and the largest tobacco concern in the United States—asked the FDA to NOT exempt the small, handmade premium cigar industry from its tobacco regulations. Nat Sherman brands include premium handmade cigars...

    Building a walk-in

    Great space, but I have to ask. Where is the anteroom cigar lounge, flat screen, surround sound, wet bar and walk-in humidor?

    Is Heartfelt still around?

    I have a years worth of sensor data that that proves in a wood humi the beads are spiky. Wet them and put them in a closed humidor and humidity spikes up. Then you can see a them drop humidity and once they dry, it spikes low. I'm guessing they behave better in a closed environment like a...
