  • 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.

    Gran Habano New STK Box distasteful

    Unless there is some backstory we aren't aware of, yeah, pretty tasteless.

    Hello! and a request for advice

    That's a tough one. Plenty of threads on here about the whole, what to keep around that is cheap thought. Do you have a budget in mind? That might help make offering suggestions easier. Oh, and welcome aboard! Grew up just across the river from Philly in NJ. I miss my cheese steaks, damn it.

    Travel ban to Cuba lifted

    Linkage? Details? Last I heard you still needed some specific reason to be going. Easy enough to get around, but not quite free travel... Sent from my personal space using my iPhone

    Phone Advice

    I still say what I did above, head to a store and play with both of the top options and see how you feel then. Even better, find some friends who have the phenes you want so you can REALLY see how they work. Good luck!

    Phone Advice

    This. For me, the iPhone has been the easiest to figure out phone I've ever had. My dad has one of the Droids from Verizon and I played with it when visiting him. I'm sure given some time I could figure it out, but I like that with the iPhone there wasn't much I had to really spend time figuring.

    For anyone looking to receive a flag flown in Afghanistan...

    Stitched on mine, and I'll take one or two depending on response to the PM I sent. Will give you the name the certificate should be addressed to when details are set. And in case it is a question, would obviously be expect to pre-pay. Don't expect you to shell out cash ahead of time on this.

    Recommendations for Tampa

    Dee, the Marriott Waterside is a great hotel and a great location. I met Cigar Cowboy there. Just let me know if I can be of more help with suggestions and if you can meet up for a smoke. Enjoy your stay!

    Recommendations for Tampa

    Bern's is definitely at the top of the list. You are going as much for the experience as for the food, which is really, really good. Great steaks, an AMAZING wine cellar, vegetables from their own garden and a wait staff that has to apprentice just to work there. Don't skip the dessert room...

    black labs?

    From the Labrador Retriever Club Contact these folks. Always start with the local clubs. You know you are getting a dog who conforms to standards and who meets all of the health and physical standards, something very important with such an over bred breed like Labs. Are you just looking for...

    Flavor profiles more distinct in CCs?

    Well hell. Nice contest, bro'. Shoot me your addy in case I didn't save the package these came in. SLR's are one of the Marcas I just don't smoke much of. That being said, I smoked one of my own JL 1's after smoking this stick and was still pretty comfortable that I had made the right guess...

    Flavor profiles more distinct in CCs?

    Nope, I wouldn't base anything on that. Could be questions on authenticity, proper storage, etc. Plus, it may be that your palate needs some developing as well (you are pretty new to the hobby, right?). The first cuban I had was during a trip outside of the states and I don't remember it...

    Anyone into smoking ... meats?

    Love it. I have a new chargril infrared with four burners so I can have just one burner on and pretty much control the temp low enough to smoke. I've done a couple of briskets, ribs and a Boston Butt so far. Love it when I have the time. What kind of gas grill? You already have the vertical...
