  • 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.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    dude, try them! it IS an interesting take on cammy, and imma try them again, but it just didn't sing for me. also, not every blend will work for every person. just not for me, really.

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    had a nirvana last night, and it was just meh. kinda sad, it even had some liga undertones, i could tell where the binder and filler came from, but the cameroon wrapper just didn't work for me on this. it's worth trying, but i am pretty sure they are not for me.

    Kopi Luwak Coffee

    Fuente Anejo Question

    IIRC (without looking it up) the sand shark is based on the anejo #77 platform, with a different wrapper. there is also an opus shark. all three have matching or very near binder and filler details, but the CBL anejo wrapper, the dominican opus wrapper, and the cammy wrapper are the...

    Pipes with "balance"

    it's called "the clench", being able to keep a pipe tucked in the corner of your mouth and run it on autopilot. it is a matter of personal preference, physiology, and physics. some guys do NOT like having a pipe (or cigar) in their mouth, and will hold it, and only move it to draw. well and...

    Is there some magic with how air travels in a humidor?

    there is nothing but solid info here, so no worries, BUT, as for the "humidity pack" question: that is really just idiot proofing on the part of manufacturers. if you have an end user (or god forbid a retailer) who doesn't know to keep a box humidified, it is a cheap insurance against bad PR...

    you mean the export? those guys, and the ugly ass parodi cheroots, are in my car as a back up plan at all times. yup, machine mades are my guilty pleasure. o) and, FWIW, i think the intent of the OP is "what do you think you shouldn't like, but can't help but like it anyway?" overpriced...

    What's in your bowl today

    erik stokkebye 1897 sample for the inaugural burn of my new lane crown achievement: tobacco is a little sweet/ aro'd out, but the VaBur base does prop it up well. the pipe is solid, based on the deal they had for IPSD. so, win. o)
