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's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)
First third is spicy, second third cocoa, final third cocoa and spice. It's an average smoke from My Father, but pairs well with a smoky bourbon or sweet rum.- Mr. McSquirelly

FDA Finalizing New Regulations
The guys at Halfwheel have done a really nice interactive piece on this story. It sounds like a final decision will come before the summer break and things will take effect in the fall. Let's just hope the decision goes our way. Not that it matters, but I just wrote a really angry email to the...- Mr. McSquirelly

FDA Finalizing New Regulations
I don't mean to rile everyone up here. But I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about these new Federal regulations for premium cigars. It looks like a decision is coming soon. From my understanding of it, there are two options: The first would keep everything the same, but the second...- Mr. McSquirelly

US Removes Cuba from State Sponsored Terrorism list
Great article. Thanks. This part is frightening for cigar makers right now: "3. The FDA Could Ruin Everything If the embargo is lifted and the trademark disputes are worked out, then we can buy Cuban cigars, right? Wrong.

US Removes Cuba from State Sponsored Terrorism list
Cuba currently has two currencies; until they reconcile them and form a single currency, I don't see the embargo being lifted. Raul Castro has also stated that he wants U.S. taxpayers to remunerate Cuba for the Embargo. Republicans will never agree to that. Here's an article from the Economist...- Mr. McSquirelly

Local shop lockers
Tough call. But I would be honest. Tell the owner, "Look, my hygros are running high in my locker. Do you mind if I take a look at your humidification system." You might ask fellow locker renters if they are experiencing the same issue and then form a little coalition. Power in numbers. But...- Mr. McSquirelly
