  • 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.

    request to manufacturers of cutters

    Well minus the self sharpening ability the three D's come to mind if you want something more substantial and showy for a cutter. Dupont http://www.elighters.com/sdudoblcicu.html Dunhill http://www.elighters.com/da20226.html Davidoff...

    cigars on airplane

    Only issue I have ever had was TSA took 2 of my lighters on the way back from Chicago. One was even a soft flame that should have been allowed in checked luggage. I try to carry them on unless I am trying to hide something. Then I wrapped them in birthday paper and put the box and jar in my...

    trouble with my travel humidor

    Of you are using a pelican case I would just go with bovedas as the seal is usually amazing and they are the easiest to deal with in a travel humi.

    Discontinued in 2012

    Nope a lot of it comes down to pricing. In most markets Cubans are substantially cheaper then non. In our shop in Canada a Padron 1926 #9 is a buck more then a BHK 54. Padron 3000 is the same price as a psd4. Opus robusto is $10 more then cohiba robusto here. Premium NC's mostly price...

    request to manufacturers of cutters

    If I remember correctly Palio started out making surgical instruments. Surgical steel in no way makes it heavier as because they use good steel they are able to make the blades thinner thus giving a better cut. Sharpening your own blades would not be something I would expect most makers to be...

    Viaje

    I think a lot of why you see so many of these up for sale is not an issue with the quality or aging potential but a lot to do with the fact of how many are released. If you buy a box of every viaje release you will end up with 20 or 30 boxes of nothing but viaje a year. I think many ohave...

    Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7 Years vs. Legendario Añejo 9 Years

    The varadero is a regular rum so not nearly as sweet as the elixir is. The Ron Varadero is a a higher end rum from a mid grade distillery. The rankings in Cuba tend to be Havana Club is the most expensive flagship brand, then santiago de Cuba, then the legendario and Ron Varadero. Then Mulata...

    Just picked up maybe one of the most HTF's I have ever seen...

    Not sure something seems wrong about them being really rare. I picked up a box at Top Shelf Epping a couple of years ago.

    Sancho Panza CG

    They were discontinued in 06 so should be getting hard to find. If it is a good box they can be fantastic. Ben's boxes from 02 03 should be fantastic with 03 being my fab year for Sancho PanA since 97.

    List your favorite Lancero sized (or similar) Smoke!

    This is so easy. Yolanda Laguito #2. Easily a wow cigar for me. Went through 2 bundles a few years ago and they haven't had them again since.

    Efficient Storage Hydration

    Think he meant easily refillable. I have about 100 in rotation in My humi's just to keep things rock stable.

    Lighter problems

    Still has? Unless things have gotten better in the new recent incarnation of Colibri many I know had refused to carry them due to the lack of follow through on thier waranty. It is one thing to say that you offer a life time warranty and another to follow through. I have never heard of anyone...

    Ummm, Oscuro or NOT???

    Very common misconception. There are a ton of books out there that describe oscuro as a colour shade darker then maduro. If I remember correctly is due to a curing or fermenting process instead. Would love to hear the real answer in more technical form tho

    Favorite marca?

    Kinda stuck here as one that I am always in search of great boxes of but are harder to find then you would think is Sancho Panza. Have been through a few fantastic boxes and because of them tend to think of them as a favourite

    Anti-gun Boycott

    As a Canadian and non-gun guy as pretty much impossible to carry unless a on duty LEO this makes no sense. Why would anti gun groups go after a single organization? If they want to change things do it at a government level not business level. Do they want them to implement a weapons check...
