• 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.

    What do you shoot with?

    Just had one of my cameras upgraded by a friend of mine who sent me his Sony A77 (I had damaged one of the A65's). World of difference!

    Bill to lift CUBAN EMBARGO!!!!!!!!

    That's exactly what will happen. If you figure 5% of the US population are cigar smokers, that'll add about another 20MM customers to the market, of which most will run to get the "Forbidden Fruit" that's really not that hard to get to begin with. That's a lot of demand when you look at the...

    Are you happy at 62% ?

    I try to keep mine at 68%. I find 62 is too dry and causes the cigar to burn too hot.

    Bill to lift CUBAN EMBARGO!!!!!!!!

    The embargo will not be lifted while there's a Castro in power and it remains communist. Personally, I think lifting the embargo would be the worst thing to happen to the CC industry and would take them years to recover.

    Old camera equipment

    I wish. I'm in the need of a 2nd camera body (preferably Sony Alpha) and a 24-70 F/2.8 A-Mount

    Any experience with mirrorless cameras?

    I agree with Nick....Sony's quality can't be beat. The only problem is that nobody carries lenses for them so it's not like you can walk in to Best Buy and pick one up. You either have to go to a camera store or directly through Sony to get OEM equipment. I shoot with the A65 which is...

    Embarrassing Cigar Confessions

    A friend of mine had given me a glass top box of 10 CoRo's about 2 years before I really got into cigars. I kept them on my bookcase for a few months before deciding to pull one out and smoke it. I sat on my front porch smoking that stale (though I didn't know it was stale at the time), fake...

    AFAIK, "Made By" refers to the factory and/or blender that oversees the production such as Don Pepin, Fuente, Miami Cigar, etc.

    Nestor Miranda Rapture

    Nestor Miranda stopped by the lounge yesterday with samples of his Collection line as well as the Rapture line. I can't do a full review as I was too busy smoking and enjoying it to do a review on it but with 4 fillers from 4 different countries, the cigar is a very complex yet VERY enjoyable...

    Pissed myself reading this article.....

    I'm not trashing Gurkha. I've smoked many Gurkha's....some were pretty decent, some were just freaking horrible and never should have been rolled. Are they worth what they charge? No. At best, most Gurkha's should be in the $5-$8, not the $13-$18 price range. As Problemsolverjc...
