  • 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.

    Oliva Saison cigar

    I just picked up one of these at a local cigar lounge (and a previous poster said they got one at their B&M). I had never heard of it, and just bought it because I knew I should buy something there if I was going to smoke there (I actually smoked one that I brought along). It'll likely be a...

    Cute L'il Vintage Meerschaum!

    Old family friends gave me this pipe last night-- it counts as the first pipe I've ever outright owned. It apparently belonged to my friend's father. Considering my friend is 71 years old, and she thinks her father did not buy this new, this could be pretty old. It measures three inches from...

    Thanks for making me check my spam folder! I decided to take a leap of faith and splurge on a 5-pack of the Don Pepin Garcia Tenth Anniversary Limited Edition... It's Christmas, dammit!

    CA Cigar of the Year?

    That's my question, though-- Do they arrive at a blend they think is top 25 material and then sample all the vitolas to see which one is actually the best? Or have they only been provided with one vitola to rate? My guess is the latter... so I would be inclined to try a top 25 cigar in the...

    CA Cigar of the Year?

    Thanks-- you know I've always thought it strange that the rankings seem to depend upon the vitola as well as the make and model. I've had several HE cigars, but all in robusto (and, yes, they were great). But I'm not sure I've ever seen the Piramide Fino. I can't imagine that these CA...

    I find I can't access the CA site at all! It must be slammed... Can someone who knows just list the rankings released today? Thanks!

    Cigars of the year (2013)

    My problem is that so much is "new to me," that I don't know what was actually "new just this year." One thing I know was new this year was the Eiroa line, and I think these are fantastic. I also really enjoyed this year's Foundry War of Currents in Shoreham.

    Cigar Bid

    I only do the free-falls and only if the lowest number I see for the item I am interested in is less than what's on the main CI site and other sites... I've been very happy with the outcomes.

    FWIW, Pipes and Cigars has Dirty Rats at $13.20 per, limit one per customer. Ugh. http://www.pipesandcigars.com/liprunse.html

    JFK- rest his soul...he was one of us- just watch

    I have long believed that, to this very day, JFK's stash of pre-embargo Cuban cigars remains ensconced somewhere in the White House. Should any of us ever attain a post at that level of government, please report back!

    My first FFP -

    I still remember my first FFP. I had one (and only one) that I was hanging onto for some unspecified special occasion. Then Bryan Glynn gave this stick a kind of "meh" review, so I thought I may as well fire mine up right then and there. It blew me away. If you've ever been to the historic...

    What else do you collect?

    Nobody's said comic books yet?! Well, comic books! I also have a small bourbon collection, with bottles signed by the various Master Distillers. Oh, yeah, and seashells... I seem to have a lot of shells.

    I was in the middle of typing that Superior Cigars has boxes of Dirty Rats and UF-13s, but in the time it took me to type, the Dirty Rats are gone, but it looks like there are still UF-13s...!!
