• 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.

    La Caridad Del Cobre "El Buey" Maduro

    Frank (who owns the brand) is a GREAT guy, and knows what he is doing with blends...one of the best boutique brands out there, IMHO... BTW, you can buy them (and many other boutique brands) at Charmed Leaf... Hope that helps! ~brooks

    He told us at the show that he actually prefers the shorter, fatter sizes, thus the reason he sells them at that size. ~brooks

    Show/List your latest NC Purchase

    1200 boxes are going to retailers in August, a show special (buy 10 boxes at the show, get a box of SSM)... I have smoked two, and they are good, but basically just a smaller Hemmingway Maduro...I do love the size though :) ~brooks

    Cigar Caddy for long term storage?

    Well, they are more expensive, but I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for, and material wise, they are not even close to the same thing... The caddies I have purchased (I have 4 of them, from a 5ver, 10er, 15er) had some problems (not all of them of course, but enough to leave an...

    NHC Seleccion Limitada by Tatuaje Capa Especial

    All I can say is that I was not impressed with the 7th Especial at all, and bought a box of the NHC Especial... Tastes are different, of course, but the RG difference of the two cigars is enough to totally change the profile, IMHO... I think you would be surprised if you tried both of...

    Cigar Caddy for long term storage?

    There is no problem storing for that long in a Caddy, but personally, I would go with something a bit more robust if I was looking for long term storage... Try http://armoredhumidor.com...more then a typical Caddy, and MUCH higher quality... Hope that helps! ~brooks

    I think it depends on the blend... The SI Padron is an example of a cigar that tastes great, even with the large RG....

    Most cigar blogs that are started disappear (or at least, stop adding new content on a regular basis) before they are about 6 months old...Nature of the beast :crackwhip

    Need info on Partagas 150 Don Ramon

    They are expired, but still flavorful (they were mild when released, and have certainly not gotten stronger since then)... There is no way you will get anywhere close to $500 for the stick, in fact, I would be surprised if you could get more then about $30 for it, if you tried to sell it...
