  • 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.

    Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

    haven't compared the two. saseini to me is a solid dark LAT blend, nightcap without the punch as it were. SOB is just too frustrating to chase, unfortunately; unless it just falls into my lap, there is WAAAAAAY too much else out there to try. still, for $5 a tin? why the hell not? o)

    What's in your bowl today

    @3/5king: didn't all cigars kinda taste like cigars when we first started? it took most if us quite a while, and a BUNCH of smokes, to get to this point, and still half of us (myself definitely included) have trouble picking out and describing all the little nuances. same with pipe. the...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    yesterday for fuente friday, a casa cuba: ...and today, while doing the lawn, an asylum13 ogre robusto. no pics, was a little mistreated as a yard gar, but the thing was actually a solid mix of corojo and candella. especially now that it comes in something OTHER than a 7x70. and now, after...

    FDA Releases Proposed Regulations

    proper caps and punctuation (Yes, I will be using caps as well, dammit.), no profanity, no slippery rhetoric, speak like you have passion and be honest with whatever level of knowledge you have or do not have. more importantly, speak with a voice. don't be overly clinical or cold, but rather...

    Question about iced coffee

    good point, but space is a REAL issue with my kitchen. as i really don't need gear to make it, per se, it's a win for me; pass it through the FP, then use filters in my drip brewer's basket (and really that was only because i was sharing it with the TN crew, i personally have no problem with...

    Question about iced coffee

    actually, having just rocked off my first batch of cold process coffee, i will say it is a HUGE difference from chilled hot coffee, delicate and still full, very crisp. gallon of filtered water and pound of coarse ground coffee. at kev's recommendation, i went with a full-bodied but low...

    2014 BOTL Pipe of the Year

    yeah, a briar this nice, AND it has ties to the board, i am not going to be randomly putting it places, so it sitting empty is not a prereq for me. artist's prerogative, IMO.

    Slippery slope claims another

    this! seriously, a pipe is awfully rewarding, but i have yet to find a GREAT pipe that will rival a GREAT cigar. plus, you have the stuff, and it will wait for you, provided you stay on top of upkeep of your humi. don't go all scorched earth on your stogies just because you have mastered a...

    "cellaring" your tobacco

    thanks for the reminder, clint. i forgot about that thread. i usually hate the "show off" threads except the daily smoke, but the pipe stash was new to me and i was giddy. i have added a couple few since then. o) as for my "cellar", it is an actual CELLAR, a below-ground-level garage...

    Kentucky Cigar Lover

    yeah. while the kuba kuba and the maker's cigars are solid, hanging around here will open you up to whole WORLDS of new shit. hopefully some of which you enjoy. which is all to say, we have been (validly) accused of being bad influences here. o) also, welcome from the top of your state!
