  • 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.

    Pipes taking the front seat...

    i haven't had a pipe yet that had the dynamism, the range, of some of the great cigars i have had. that said, if you know what you're looking for, what your preferences are, most bowls of pipe tobacco are at least good, to really good: a poor roll, or storage situation, small damage to the...

    What's in your bowl today

    today's work snack was some CH in the rechristening of the DrG starfire: i kinda figured i would bomb this pipe out, but i REALLY dig the starfires (when they can be found decently and in reachable condition) and i REALLY dig the bulldog. and from first blush it looks to be a performer. have...

    What else am I missing?

    true that, and cobs are still life savers, but do you care? i mean, i don't want you to ruin your first briar, burn the damn thing out. then again, if you are the kind of person who likes worn denim, broken in leather, a good chair that fits you better than anyone else, a little rim darkening...

    BOTL Pipe Newbie Sampler Thread

    ... and, although I told him not to... yeah, anyone who has had KK slap them knows the love note, tied with a cigar band (and i'm STILL mad i didn't think of that first, doug!). major points for coming up off four non-lanceros, sir. o) unnecessary doug, yours was less a pipe n00b trade and...

    What else am I missing?

    the "9mm" thing refers to a filter: the stanwell is tooled for a 9mm paper filter. i advise against ever using filters, but that's just me. if it came with one, hell, try it. you can find adapters to narrow the airway down, but i have never needed one. stanwell is one of THE main "factory...

    i have had a wee little sample ONCE, and it was nice and strong, with a pure tobacco flavor, but that was early last year, when i was under three months of true piping, and didn't get a really complete read on it (if that makes sense). just like any HTF bourbon or beer, or LE/regional?whatever...

    Pipe Secret Santa ??

    i really see no reason why this cannot be a thing. i recommend looking at the way cliff runs the secret santa (main), especially in regard to guidelines of eligibility, and timeline requirements. also, know for certain i would love to participate myself. o)
