  • 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.

    Coolest car you have ever gotten to drive

    Caterpillar bulldozer. No, don't remember the model, belonged to my boss at the time, but damn, knocking down trees and whatever the f$%k else was in the way, what a rush.

    So what'cha readin'???

    "Up until now" by William Shatner, his autobiography. Light reading for sure, poignant at times, a funny and entertaining look back on his career. Rolled through a few chapters while enjoying a DPG Blue out on the patio this morning.

    What Humidity do keep your cigars at?

    Sorry, ain't buying it. There are some completely false statements here. "At 70% relative humidity (a measure which by definition is independent of temperature)..." is completely wrong. The physics explanation attributed to the medical doc about why warmer air can hold more water molecules is...

    What movie are you watching or watched?

    "Taken", with Liam Neeson. Holy Crap, non-stop thriller. If you like to see bad guys get their a$$es kicked, our hero delivers.

    My first bomb(s)... Help me

    Yeah, shucks and the village idiot bombed me right away, and in true noob fashion I failed to post pics or list the sticks, either, but suffice it to say, it was a 1-2 blast which gave me a concussion. Doc says a stick a day will cure me, so I'm on the road to recovery. :smokingbo

    Like to smoke but don't know too much! Any tips?

    Drop a hint to the wife or girlfriend (or both!) that you'd like a Cigar of the Month membership for Christmas (or birthday, or Hanukkah, or pick-your-excuse day) from Cigars International or other on-line retailer. You'll get five (or 10 if they're really generous) smokes a month in the mail...

    What Humidity do keep your cigars at?

    Relative Humidity is just that, relative to Temperature. For example, air at 70 deg F/70% RH has the same moisture content as air at 78 deg F/53% RH. So if you live in a warm climate and your house (and humi) sits at 78 most of the summer, your humi should be around 53% RH. I've tried it, and...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    Got a Gran Habano corojo #5 going. Tasty, but a bit tight on the draw, probably should have let it sit longer.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    I like the Sancho Panza also, but they always seem to have a tight draw. I punch them and let them sit for a few weeks, then they're enjoyable, but still a little tighter than I prefer.

    Just Curious

    Cigs, never. Cigars, just occasionally for about the last 10 years, but got serious about it 3 yrs or so ago when I got back on two wheels....perfect ending to a perfect day.

    Bahia Blu - first bad experience with a cigar

    I've had the Blue and the Gold in this line and thought neither was very good. Tight draw, lack of smoke, an inexpensive cigar taste. A little more time in the humi helped the draw problem on the second one, and I did not have an unravel problem, but still, not a fan.

    CAO MX2 box-press review

    Give the MX2 another shot when you aren't rushed. I have a med-full bodied preference as well, and this one & the Black are my fav from CAO. Now if someone could explain why CAO's names so many of their sticks like cars. I'm sure there's a reason to this rhyme.

    Ft Hood Tx Area new member

    Hey Jason, I'm new on this board, down in Austin, but get up your way on not-so-happy occasions riding with the PGR. I like you're 9/11 idea. I don't have any of those Americas, but will choose carefully before hoisting the flag and toasting my smoke and those defending our country...

    Amateur Coolidor Porn

    Now this was helpful. I've been seeing posts about coolidors in various places, but you really laid out how to do it properly. Love the little fan. Once my second humi fills up, I'll likely go this route. Thanks!
