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.

Oliva Cigars asked "Do you own a smoking jacket?"
Yes, it keeps my warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It's my 2013 Toyota Camry, or sometimes my 04 truck. :cigar: Most of my smoking is in route to or from work.- Jim D

+ I wanted an oversized cutting board but didn't want to spend $30 for one so bought a maple plank, cut it in thirds, and glued it together. Bam, homemade oversized cutting board for my homerolling! Just another idea for you, have fun with this, Jim- Jim D

Good question. I believe Adventures in Homerolling will give a great background on this. Both of the Blending threads will give recipes that have worked for people. And the Videos thread will be a valuable resource for all sorts of mechanics on rolling.- Jim D

B, if you find something you enjoy with the short time from board to mouth, in your experience would it only get better with time? I guess I'm asking if it is worth it to stock up a blend you enjoy that is only a couple days old.- Jim D

Looking great! I leave the foot shaggy 99.9% of the time. One thing I learned the hard way with those shaggy feet, sometimes while lighting it up, a piece of glowing red cherry will fall and can melt a decent size hole in a car seat. If that happens, I found the fastest way to stop the hole...- Jim D

Ever say I wish someone would make this accessory?
I wish certain tweets were never sent... I wish all my blends were awesome... I wish cigars were good for you and helped with weight loss... I wish all my blends were awesome... I wish I was as flexible now as when in my early 20s. I wish all my blends were awesome...- Jim D

Glad you enjoyed the notes! My paper has never had a virus, crash, failed motherboard...even with coffee or water spilled on it, it keeps working. I like tech but I also like simple and reliable. This little notebook fits in the box of homerolling tools so it's always there. You are right about...- Jim D

I know we all keep notes on our blends and I'm sure some of you are way more detailed and organized than I, but I thought I'd share what my notebook looks like. I'll write the date and blend on the page. Then if I like it some time down the road, I'll come back and flag it and put notes on the...- Jim D

What do you tell your friends when they ask what cigar you have given them to smoke
My cigar bands have the recipe written on them with the date they were bunched (it might take a week to wrap them depending how busy I am). I usually try to give them something that sounds like they'd like then if they follow up with questions, I tell them all they want to know. Usually they...- Jim D

Ok gang, below is a picture of the stogies I bunched 1/1/18. I happen to like the LO Ecuador Shade Seco wrapper leaf so used up the last leaf of an earlier batch and started using leaf from a new bag. ALL wrapper leaves picured are Ecuador Shade Seco, believe it or not.... I really enjoyed the...- Jim D
