  • 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.

    Let's see how you store your cigars.

    No-- I've got humidifiers in both the top cabinet (a cigar oasis unit, actually) and one of the drawers (a small, very porous container of Exquisicat!). I rotate a digital hygrometer around the unit and it all holds at 65%.

    Fda 2014 - anti-cigar regulations

    Just an aside on the point of the health risks-- in the past two weeks, I had both a biometric assessment at work and my annual physical at my doctor's office. At each appointment, I was asked if I used tobacco products. I hesitated a moment before answering, and then 'fessed up that I smoke...

    Too Pretty To Smoke...

    Just to be clear-- I will burn this puppy! What I'm getting at is that ineffable... hesitation. Maybe only I get that! Mostly, I was hoping to see photos of other pretty cigars...!

    Too Pretty To Smoke...

    So I just picked up this LFD Mysterioso. It's just... too pretty. I can hardly contemplate actually smoking this. I wonder if any of you have particular sticks you just can't bring yourself to clip and light because they're just... too pretty to smoke?

    Found Some Liga

    Perhaps someone could give them a call (their number is 800-733-3397) and see if they'll delink those boxes for a phone order. I'd call, but I don't want to ask the question and then confess I'm not really in the market for these right, now...!

    Found Some Liga

    Superior Cigars has the Unicos! But there's a catch... you have to buy a box of #9s with every box of Pigs or Rats ordered... http://www.superiorcigars.com/liga-privada-cigar

    Let's see how you store your cigars.

    I found these photos from when I first got it-- It's been a nice performer ever since-- although I confess I also have three older desktop humidors containing some overflow. This new unit was supposed to allow me to get rid of the others! But you know how it goes...

    Got this on CraigsList last year... Yeah, it's kind of disheveled...

    Nine Plushest Cigar Lounges in America

    Maybe that depends on how old you are! I'm 50, so those 40-year-olds are looking pretty good to me... OK, so I'm guessing you're more of a World Famous Cigar Bar guy... I'll take that place any weekend evening over Burn.

    Nine Plushest Cigar Lounges in America

    I've only been to Burn in Naples, but you know, I wouldn't necessarily think of it as a "cigar lounge." If you're in there during the day, or maybe a Sunday night, it's kind of loungey. But other weeknights, it's mostly a bar. And on Friday and Saturday nights, it's a bona fide nightclub...

    Cigar Related Webpages/Links

    Mr. Glynn can be a bit of a prickly curmudgeon at times, but I can't argue with results. I've purchased many cigars based on his reviews and have yet to be disappointed. I also occasionally find good info on the forums at puff.com.

    Cigar Pilgrimage to Mecca

    Just got back yesterday from a week in Habana/Cienfuegos/Trinidad de Cuba. I could write a book. I went to two Casa de Habanos locations (Hotel Nacional and Hotel Bahia Cohiba) and the latter was the better of those two. But the hidden gem was the lounge on the third floor of Club Asturiano...

    Smoking anything special

    Well, I can't smoke in the house, the cigar lounge is closed, and it's expected to be 7 degrees with a windchill of minus insane, so I had my "special New Year's cigar" a few days ago. It was a Padron 1964 Anniversary torpedo, natural wrapper. And it was butter.

    Snoqualmie - Lit Cigar Lounge

    Visited there while visiting my Everett-based sibling! It was very nice.
