  • 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.

    What's in your bowl today

    bending a new petey to my will with an inaugural smoke (or twelve, we'll see) of carter hall side note: any of y'all know if this style is an "army mount"? it looks to be, as the tennin is tapered to hold in the briar walls of the mortise through a wedging friction, BUT i don't want to start...

    My own blind reviews?

    actually, coming at something without preconceptions can change your viewpoint. something may suck that you loved, or be elevated to the sublime from yard gar status. OR. you may figure out WHY you liked or dislikes something, actually peg it down, once the reveal comes. we all get caught up...

    Would this concern you? (Buying Boswell online)

    call them up. i have heard nothing but solid about those kids. and, yes, i DO see what you're talking about, but it looks to me to be that super-craggy rustication on it, and nothing more. kinda like you don't expect a nording-style "freehand" to be flat on the rim, right? it's not a notch...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    off site errand from work, and a king is dead corona (almost a mareva?) off cheffy: a little muddy, but DAMN rich, and a ton of power backed by flavor. i can see why these are starting to be a thing. thanks, sir. o)

    What's in your bowl today

    in all honesty, i don't know? seriously, pipeworks and wilke had been on my radar for a minute or so, then dismal's pipe MaW came up and gave me the excuse i needed to drop them an order. i got it, and jarred mine while bagging his, and i haven't yet gotten back around to it. i CAN tell you...

    Meet at House of Cigar in Cincinnati for Bengals games?

    i'm not a sports person, but then again dustinspo wound up teaching me a thing or two about soccer during the world cup season, so i might not be a lost cause. lemme know. o)

    Glenmorangie ealanta

    my distributor is currently out, but my rep from that division didn't mention anything like a drastic hike or a discontinuation. scotch keeps going up (and will, as demand stays high), but don't panic if you haven't seen it for a minute. AND i'm still looking. o)

    Tobaccos you aren't a fan of.....

    rex, you might have nailed the biggest. most of us here already LIKE big tobacco flavors, and just need to narrow down preferences and predilictions. for this crowd, aro's are most probably going to go over like infused cigars: POORLY. with a few exceptions. o)
