  • 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.

    Colibri Paradigm Lighter Video

    I hope to hell they improve the product and just keep the name.

    true ivy league

    A bunch of guys are sitting around drinking after work at the Oak Bar at the Plaza Hotel. One of them turns to the guy on his left and says, "You went to Harvard, didn't you?" The guy says, "Yes, I did, actually. How did you know?" He replies, "Well, there was just something about your...

    Arturo Fuente Anejo Shark

    I'm not sure when this cigar was made, but for the past couple of years, the releases of Anejos have been disappointing, at best. Don't get me wrong: I love Anejos, and the best cigar I have ever smoked was an Anejo from a couple of years ago with about 2 years of humidor time on it when I...

    The New Palios!

    Of course, if you drop one of those outdoors, you'll never find it again! Maybe they ought to issue a hunting-safe day-glo orange version. :nodlaugh: I bought my son one of the burlwoods, but for me, any color is OK as long as it's black.

    Palios on Ebay

    Do you mean Mark from Cigarmony? Or maybe I'm confused... :thinkidea

    Do you use Boveda Packs AND the Humidifier??

    If you mix humidity control devices, e.g. beads + Boveda, make sure that both are the same RH.

    Round vs Pressed

    Box-pressed cigars won't roll away if you have to set them on a flat surface. :smokingco

    The Edge by RP - Was it a dream

    Sadly, they are all gone. If you can find any on a dealer's shelf, grab 'em. They were the only Edge since the original release of the maduro Edge that I really, really, really liked.

    Cabaiguan Maduro 46

    Me too. I didn't know what they were, and at first I thought they were maduro Edges without the flavor and Vitamin N.

    St. Dupont X-tend

    Yeah, what he said. Use only top grade butane, and you're good to go.

    Thinking about these - Argyle from Holt's

    I would take a pass on the Argyles. If you want to buy any Holt's bundles, read the descriptions and look for a reference to Holt's Tasting Committee. Any bundle that bears the seal of approval from the Holt's Tasting Committee is generally good, and a good buy for the money. The Argyle...

    Candela Wrapper

    What everybody said. I smoke 'em a few times a year as a change of pace. My usual choice is Fuente, most often the 8-5-8. The wrapper is deliciously sweet, as is the smoke. The flavor is, indeed, mild, but the smell can be a bit acrid, sort of like when people used to burn leaves in the...

    IIRC, Fuente made them. I haven't seen them around lately, but then again, I haven't been looking for them, either.

    Otterbox or Xikar

    Re: purge valves, They're handy, but you don't really need 'em. Most, maybe all, of the Otterboxes/Cigar Caddies have a latch with tabs on top and bottom that you can insert a lock through. If you land and the traveldor is sealed shut by the pressure (which it should be, if it's sealing...

    Deal of the day

    Been doing OK --- thanks for asking. I was busy as hell at work for a month or so, then I was traveling on business for a week and a half, so I haven't been posting much. I'm back now, and things should be getting a bit quieter for the summer. To keep things on topic :cool:, I put away around...

    What 3 burner pocket lighter do you like.

    Yeah, what he said. However, triple-flame lighters are great for REALLY big ring gauges.

    Leather Cases

    Definitely interesting. Based on the fact that the cases are high-quality, hand-made leather, I suspect that the actual pricing will be a bit steep for me, but it's a great and appealing concept.

    Deal of the day

    I would have bit on the deal for the maduros, but not the naturals. JMO, YMMV.
