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.

Score!!
Sorry about the fakes man! They could be really good cigars anyway! As for telling him, I've found that it's always easier to break the news and also steer him in the right direction for future purchases. Maybe give him a couple names of legit vendors. That way, it'll come off more as an... -

La Riqueza No. 1 -- Review
Thought I'd resurrect this review, as I'm smoking a regular production one right now. Almost identical, with maybe just a touch less of that perfect sweetness and a pinch more earthiness than the previous one. The twang after you exhale is a cross between a PL Lonsdale and a JL Obus. Going to...- Halon

Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)
Smoking a La Riqueza No. 1. This really might *the* smoke. The wrapper is not only the most flavorful, but one of the best burning I have seen in my life. The ash is pure white. F**king masterpiece. TYLER -
Infusing My Own Cigars
Be careful with the coffee beans. The oils and moisture will over-humidify your sticks and they'll be moldy if you don't keep a close eye on them. My boss put some cigars in a tupperware full of coffee beans for a week or so and they were moldy as heck when we took them out! TYLER -

Egg
Never Ever EVER smoke one! If you are ever even considering it, just think about what I told you and grab anything else in the store. An Acid, A Quorum, a Karmasutrasplash, anything! Just not the Egg! That being said, it's a lot of fun to watch people try and smoke them. TYLER -

Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)
Smoked a Monte Purito, an Illusione 4/2g, my last Johnny-O Lonsdale, and a little bitty RP sungrown. TYLER -
Unbanded Tatuaje Verocu #1 & #2
We've got a couple cabs of the west coast in at my shop, but I've never smoked an east coast. Anybody want to trade me a couple east coast verocus? I've got a lot of other cigars to offer! TYLER -
Lets talk cigars or Wonderin about Wrapper Leaf
No prob guys! I actually picked that bit up when I had a couple smokes with Mitchell Orchant. Sure enough, the first plugged cigar I ran into back home I tried that on and it worked! What happens is that, when the filler is twisted inside the cigar like a corkscrew, punching holes in it... -
Lets talk cigars or Wonderin about Wrapper Leaf
A lot of times if you have a plugged cigar you can cut it in half and both pieces will be perfectly smokeable. It is common for the filler to be "twisted", if you will, which makes for a near-impossible draw, but cutting the cigar in half will often times fix the problem. Something to try on... -

Unbanded Tatuaje Verocu #1 & #2
Yeah, pretty much Pete only wanted to make an exact number of bands, maybe 50,000 or something, but they made more sticks than that. They used up a portion of the bands on promo sticks and stuff like that, but then they had extra boxes left over. So some of the sticks are foil-packed and... -
Lets talk cigars or Wonderin about Wrapper Leaf
La Aurora does that with their 100 Anos robustos. You can get Connecticut, Brazilian, Corojo, and something else, I think. It's pretty cool, and the Brazilian one is the best. I would put the percentage of influence a wrapper has on a cigar's flavor from around 30% to upwards of 65%. An...
