  • 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.

    How long to store before smoking

    i recommend a week at least. whether bought from a B&M or online, letting it acclimate to your stash, runnign at your preferred humidity, will help dial the experience in. your stash, your smoke, your call.

    Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story

    cameroon is super fragile, and i would assume that rolling them VERY precisely, with a firm bunch and tight roll, would help cut down on wrapper damage. if they crack, you're screwed. also, again, i have never had a plugged hemmi in 18 years. may be beginner's luck, though. o)

    Developing your own taste

    that goes for EVERYTHING. learning to taste, and articulate tastes (and smells and textures), is a skill used for spirits, food, pipe, cigar, really anything you don't NEED but enjoy anyway.

    Developing your own taste

    two solid points. get in the habit of putting what you experience into words, even if only to yourself; making a sensory image (taste, smell, texture) into a verbal one helps build a "vocabulary" that allows you context by which you can judge further experiences. and the retro more fully...
