  • 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 your bad day at work?

    i would like to thank everyone here who participated, as seeing someone else's bad day can put your own in perspective. for me, a bad day always involves telling a customer "NO"; no, you cannot steal that, no, your credit/debit card does NOT work like that and no amount of me calling them is...

    Question for Beer Guys

    keep in mind, as a general rule, liquids aerate better at higher temperatures, and will show better on the nose and back palate. having done this for quite a while professionally, ANYONE who brings me an ice-cold sample (beer, wine, or spirits) is hiding something. if they are willing to let...

    Question for Beer Guys

    my stouts were always stored in my garage. below ground level, so they came out at about 62-65F. mind you, it may have been a function os an alcoholic hiding booze, but i never preferred the thick shit stored at fridge temps...

    Pipe story and other do's and don't s

    just to take this thread back to it's roots: apparently piping, and learning to actually DO STUFF while piping are two differing skill sets. anyone else ever have a bowl going fairly well, then either bend or look down and heat a horrible hissing sound? shits enough to ruin your day. o)

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    first time getting to a divi nicaraguan. more davi than nica, IMO, but still a cigar you can get lost in. with thanks. the heavens opened up and the deluge came for a solid half hour after this photo. any of y'all in tornado-y areas, stay vigilant and safe, please.

    Pipe story and other do's and don't s

    I have heard of the horn SHAPE, but not using it as a material. other than a hunting horn, where is is basically a kind instrument, or a powder horn for muzzle loading. as far as a smoking device...

    What's in your bowl today

    just to recommend, you could just store it and revisit it later. i bought my first briar at 18, and didn't figure it out until december of '12 or so. and i still smoke that briar. but it isn't for everyone, and that's fair. post it, and i am certain someone should help you recoup.

    finally got around to this guy, running a couple few errands before the in-laws roll in: not cigar of the year on my side, but DAMN does it work in a lance! major thanks. o) EDIT: so, somewhere just past the midpoint, the bottom dropped out. HUGE crescendo of flavor, and everything just...
