  • 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.

    Great Jefferson quote. Brings a tear to me weary eyes.

    Interesting Take on Embargo

    Found this article at CigarInspector: http://www.cigarinspector.com/cuban-cigars-news/cuban-cigars-in-the-united-states-dont-hold-your-breath Looks like Castro regime will have to be defunct before Congress votes to lift Embargo. I think I agree. Raul Castro wants U.S. to pay reparations for...

    Boli PC today

    LOL! Got mine back before Xmas. Tried ROTT. It wasn't so great. Had another last weekend. Getting much better. Probably looking like Thanksgiving before they're ready to go.

    a terrible comparison

    Agreed wholeheartedly. But it seems like 'throwing (wasting) more money at the problem at the expense of the public" is the only answer these clowns in our state legislatures can offer. Lol. Way to go Michigan!!! It's amazing that thing went to a special vote. In the old days, they would've just...

    Not to derail thread, but maybe show your buddy this quote from Detroit Free Press, lol: "House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, D-Auburn Hills, said voters were skeptical about having their taxes increased to fix the roads after watching Snyder and the Legislature approve corporate tax cuts of more...

    quick and easy box storage (Temporary)

    One of these: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/storage/trunks?productId=10026213, and 3-4 Bovedas of your preferred rH. $20 and done. Plus you'll have an emergency overflow container, which I'm sure you'll need at some point down the road.

    a terrible comparison

    A guy like that reviewer is a novice. You can't just smoke Habanos fresh out of the box. That's what it sounds like he did. It varies from cigar to cigar, of course. RASS with '14 boxdates, for instance, are smoking great ROTT, or with two weeks rest. Okay, fine. But that doesn't mean all...

    Spilled Xikar solution on my cigar. Can I still smoke it?

    Propylene-glycol is tasteless, odorless, and harmless. It's a part of our everyday lives. Shaving cream, deodorant, shampoo. It's in ice-cream, sodas, and dairy products. It keeps food fresh. In fact, you could drink a whole bottle of Xicar solution and nothing would happen to you. But don't do...

    Thanks, man. I owe it all to BOTL!!! LOL! I'm serious too.

    Let's see how you store your cigars.

    I upgraded from the two little dinky tupperdors I showed previously in this thread. This incarnation is a Water-tight 46-quart container. I lined the bottom with Spanish cedar. I used the same pucks filled with polymers and a homemade propylene-glycol mixture. The trays are from Cheaphumidors...

    Just on the heels of my Boli RCs!!! Thanks, Jon Huber. You make a fine product. I really the like the four levels of six cigars with each separated by cedar inserts. First class.

    Cigar Poem from 1887

    You know it was written so long ago. Maybe cigar was pronounced with an 'ai' sound instead of the way we pronounce it now with 'ah' sound. I like the way the poem captures the feeling of finishing a cigar and throwing it away. He's out at sea, so it might be a while before he gets another cigar...

    Antique Icebox Humidor

    Thanks for the advice. I am definitely leaning towards passive. Might as well keep it as simple as possible. I'll ask the woodworker if he'll keep a photo journal of the project as he goes along with it. The photos will be posted here in this thread. Thanks again for advice.

    Condensation and Water Damage Help!!!

    Fill the bottom of a tupperware container with white rice. Put the cigars on top of the rice and seal. The rice will soak up all the moisture. Or try covering and burying the cigars in the rice too. Then re-humidify.

    Antique Icebox Humidor

    Thanks, guys. Very encouraging. I am looking forward to the end result. I just wish I had the skills to do it myself. But I found a good master carpenter/woodworker who has converted other antique furniture to humidors. I am just trying to decide whether I should have it wired for an active...
