  • 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.

    This is my first attempt at a review, I'm by no means a pro or afficiando, but here we go none the less. Thought I'd give this one a try tonight after a party we had for a friend. Ashton VSG Cabinet. Nice looking stick with a darker wrap. Started out a bit strong (could have been the coffee...

    So the question still stands, do I have to worry about the essential oils? Is that why you double bag, in order to keep the freezer from drying out the sticks? Just a little clarification would be good. I have a chest freezer down stairs and will happily freeze my entire stock if it truly...

    Ok, fine for the cello, but what if a box comes shrink wrapped? Do you remove that?

    My walk in... pics forth coming

    Ok, so now that I have humidity mostly stable, I'm going to my cigar shop and getting most of my inventory. Big time excitement. Now I know a bunch of you requested pics, but where on here can I post them?:help: FYI - Remember, this is nothing fancy. Just turn the area under the basement...

    Darn humidor is driving me nuts!

    So I was thinkg of replacing my humidors door with a glass door, sounds like that wouldn't be a good idea. Not enough insulating?

    A question my g/f asked

    I'd agree with Dub. No need to justify. It is a part of who you are and what you do. My wife thinks I'm nuts and can't wrap her brain around this whole collecting thing I've gotten into. But at the end the day she loves me, and knows it is what I've decided to do in my spare time. And SOOOO...

    So you freeze them for how long before they go into the humidor? What does the freezing to to the bug (crystalizes the internals to kill them I suppose) and more importantly what happens to the cigar and its "essential" oils. (I keep hearing about those). I am fascinated by this process.

    Ok, so there seems to be WIDE spread debate, opinions, emotions, philosophies as to storage of cigars. It seems temp is almost more important than what RH (within 63-70 RH). I've seen a good range of numbers. Seems optimal at 65-70 RH and around 65-70 degrees. My question is this... what...

    New guy on deck....

    Haven't smoked a wide enough range to say yet. So far it's all good. Mainly purchased them for collecting. Figured I can sell off a few after some time to offset costs. (At least that's how I sold the idea to the wife). I am looking forward to diving a bit deeper into my collection. I...
