  • 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.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    doesn't matter in the long run, the tubes are air permeable and will breath, but will prevent the cigars from getting banged up. tonight, fresh off a n00b trade: because there really is never a bad time for an anny. o)

    yes, cromag mode 5. and, yes, a bow; i have found the less wiggle room cigars have, the more likely they are to arrive intact. tape on the bag works well, but no style points. o) enjoy brother! o)

    so, guildhall is a comoy's second, and hardcastle is a dunhill third (?), IIRC. i would honestly try just simple cleaning, and smoke them yourself. you have more than a full rotation for a rigular pipe smoker, AND they are part of your family history, which is golden. also, the one with the...
