• 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.

    Today is a Good Day (Daily Thread)

    strang? switch to a good rye. or green tea, if you're like me. both should work. you have a black rock cob? be interested to hear if the materials have any difference in the final smoke... or any of y'all, for that matter.

    Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

    as you can successfully navigate a bowl down farther without relights, just judicious use of the tamper and a good pack and light, it gets easier. two pipe nails in the car, and i can use them by feel while watching the road. my commute is only 15 worst case, and piping gives me a moment's...

    Anejo No. 888

    this. they are tasty (coming from an anejo fan), but don't be afraid to recut a little. or to wait, see if it opens up during the smoke. and, yes, timing is everything in smaller rings. if it was a wind tunnel, it wouldn't be worth your time at all.

    Tobacco of Choice for Break-In?

    carter hall or prince albert, old school burley heavy OTCs, are the kings. they burn cool and clean, and very easily, and burley is usually the quickest for cake formation. BUT. i think a lot of people over think "break in". seriously, it is a process of slowly building up a protective...

    generic-ass meer i picked up off the 'bay. i want (and have) a couple, to learn how they smoke, to learn how to clean them up. my understanding is most meer do NOT have a brand or maker. if it is a high grade, or solid carving on a design or figural, you get an artist's signature. and some...
