  • 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.

    Remember what you have smoked

    Thank God someone's more nerdy than I am! I should add that as I update my spreadsheet, I e-mail it to myself so I can consult it when I'm traveling. God forbid I buy a stick at a B&M, forgetting that I had it before and didn't like it. Oh, and since I don't update that spreadsheet via the...

    Remember what you have smoked

    I maintain a spreadsheet with columns for make, model, vitola, and comments-- and in the comments I make basic notes about whether or not I liked it...

    Best cigar store in Ybor City?

    My go-to place in Ybor is http://yborcigarsplus.com/. Fresh-rolled cigars and tasty mojitos.

    Internet Sale Tax in the Senate

    KGD asserted that the GOP was adamantly opposed to this. I don't think that's necessarily true-- there was a 63-30 vote in the Senate to end debate on the bill, meaning it can now be scheduled for a real vote. That is an implication of bipartisan support there... Anyway, maybe I'm missing...

    Kitty Litter dust problem

    I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one who picks out the blue crystals. They don't feel different from the rest... or smell different. But... they're BLUE. Not having them.

    The Official Cigar Deals Thread

    As an aside, I went with the smallbatchcigar.com site referenced a bit earlier. They had a Liga sampler that included one FFP. Still pretty pricey, but at least now I get to finally try one.

    The Official Cigar Deals Thread

    I agree that's good advice-- all I know is some people really want 'em, so if they have 'em, you gotta ask yourself just HOW MUCH you want 'em!

    The Official Cigar Deals Thread

    I wouldn't call this a "deal," really, at all... But a lot of people are looking for these Feral Flying Pigs. They are supposedly in stock at internationalcigarexperts.com at $30 each. The direct link is http://internationalcigarexperts.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=194&products_id=5383...

    AB Fine & Rare Torpedo BR12-13

    I've been looking for these, too. My local B&M had them for a long time and I always looked at them and thought, I need to try this one of these days. And then they were out and that was it! I didn't realize they were a limited... (although my understanding is that there will be a 2013...

    Kitty Litter dust problem

    Count me among the Exquisicat users. 67% rh in my humidors with no worries. I've never seen dust. To the OP, I guess I don't know what an "aqua bag" is? The way I do it, I cut the end off a nylon stocking, fill it with the crystals, tie off the end, dip the nylon bag of crystals in distilled...

    Tatuaje Regios Reserva 2013?

    I just got mine from my Cigar Hustler order... now I am resisting the urge to try one ROTT (or, rather, right out of the P.O. box). I went ahead and got some more from Tampa Humidor, for good measure. Don't want to be caught short if I like 'em (and if I don't, then I can always find some...

    Smaller Cigar Favorites (Petit Coronas...)

    When I'm all ready for work and it's a nice morning (which we actually haven't had any of yet up here in the frozen tundra), I allow myself 45 minutes on the deck to have coffee, read the paper and have a short smoke. The MUWAT baitfish has been mentioned, as have the papas fritas. But my...

    I just called and they really are OOS, this time for sure. But the guy said to watch the website, because in about a week's time, there'll be yet another HTF Drew Estate sampler coming up.

    Anybody have any luck with UF-13's today?

    I popped for this sampler-- it's supposed to arrive today. It's good enough for me-- I just wanted to TRY these-- didn't need a box.

    Low-Price Box Options

    Thanks for the reminder about the Oliva Melanios. I just now picked up a box of the robustos from Famous, as I was starting to notice a lot of places selling out of them. I don't want my failure to pick up some more of these to take me over into the "biggest regrets" thread!

    Recommendations for the Big Five-O?

    All right! With all this great advice taken to heart, what I will do is head down to my local lounge (the wonderful Tasting Room in Monona, WI). I'll buy a few sticks to keep Bryant happy, but I will smoke a Padron 80th anniversary maduro followed by (if I have time before the obligatory...

    Recommendations for the Big Five-O?

    It beats the alternative....! Thanks for the feedback, guys. I like the notion of the cigar with the "most meaning." I have a particular few CCs that I picked up in Vancouver last year when I was out in that area on the occasion of my niece's wedding in Seattle. One of those should do...
