• 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.

    try buying one or two, and keeping it in YOUR stash for a week or so. i personally had ZERO issues with mine. flawless burn and draw. then again, it could have been a bad stick, or box, i can't doubt you as i wasn't there... and @barbarino, yes that is a thread jack, but we don't have hella...

    Has anyone smoked a good cheroot?

    just as this was updated, and to present my current opinion: MF "ice pick" i believe (?) is long gone, but was great, LFD just put out the NAS but I haven't tried it, all the J.fuego origins are solid, and i keep a pack of ugly ass dry-cured parodi in my car as an emergency measure. IIRC...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    dude, you don't know if you don't ask, right? it was an illusione singulare, and I SWEAR the pic looked cleaner when i took it. not sure which, but i think it was the OR, and not the rose croix? one of the mad bastards at the TN herf basically stuck it in my hand and told me to deal (there...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    i have just enough time to slowly enjoy this, the. back to work: i'm torn: on the one hand i hate that i'm burning this as there is one less in the world, on the other i hate that i waited since the TN trip to burn this. all of which adds up to a fabulous smoke, well needed, with major...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    burned my second antiguadad, a toro, this morning before work: most guys WON'T want this as a morning cigar, but i'm a glutton for punishment. regardless, easily recommend trying them, especially if you like pepin sticks with a little weight behind them. which is a LOT of y'all. o)

    My Father La Antiguedad

    yeah, but realize it is a REGULAR PRODUCTION stick. we can get kinda jaded on here with all the cool stuff we hunt. something like this, on the shelves all the time, is a damn good thing. you don't HAVE to go a box deepo. but i think some people will want to. for me (just burned my second...

    G. L. Pease...thoughts?

    to me, GLPease is the pete johnson of the pipe world; not a manufacturer, but a damn solid blender, and kinda enjoying some rock star status right now. to extend that, cornell&deihl, who make his shit, are like the garcias; they make a ton of stuff, and for a couple people along with their iwn...

    LAS CALAVERAS EL 2014 (Now Shipping)

    i have tried the robo and double corona. i prefer the robo due to lifestyle (time), but if i had two hour sessions more often, the bigg'un would be well worth it.

    What's in your bowl today

    honestly, they work for me with flakes, fold and stuff. run some of this month's stokkeby through it, and pace yourself, it might surprise you... then again, you want to make it an english blend briar, those blends usually burn cooler anyway, which would help. o)

    damn right! nothing better, if you can spare the time, than having a good smoke, a cuppa joe, and having time to center yourself before the day really begins. o) also, damn nice selection on the smokes!
