  • 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.

    E-Cigar Turning Heads at CES

    One of those guys at the e-cig booth in a mall stopped me and asked if I smoked. I told him, cigars only. He then tried to sell me on the e-cigar....right up until I asked him what flavor profile does it have? He stammered and said, well it tastes like a real cigar. Then I schooled him how...

    What is the greasiest

    The Gran Habano that CI always has for sale is a pretty oily wrapper and they're not that bad of a smoke either.

    Any Baseball Card Collectors?

    Yes, it was Cal Ripken.....Al Lieter's I think was printed backwards or with the wrong guy or something like that. My bad.

    Any Baseball Card Collectors?

    Go to a comic book store (or you might find it online) and get a copy of Beckett. I used to collect back in the 80's and early 90's and Beckett was the go-to guide for card prices. I remember the 83 Mattingly Rookie card going for $30 at one point. Don't know what it's worth now though, but I...

    Yeah, I didn't like it either. But it was a table cloth that had her book release cake on it, so it couldn't be moved. BTW, the cake was tasty!

    F@&$ing Monday

    Every day I wake up is a good day. Every day I go to sleep without someone throwing dirt on my chest is a great day.

    Not so subtle differences...?

    I should also clarify something. By "creamier", I meant softer or not as intense. Think black coffee vs coffee w/ cream in it. The strength of the coffee stays the same, but since the coffee is diluted with milk, it softens the flavors of black coffee. A smaller opening, whether by cut or...

    Not so subtle differences...?

    There absolutely is a correlation between the size of the cut and how it hits your palate. The flavors don't necessarily change, but the intensity of how they come through does change. Take 2 identical cigars of a larger RG. Use a punch cut on one and straight cut on the other. Smoke them...

    Cheapies that are actually tasty?

    I'll second the Lot 23's.....they're great smokes!

    Not so subtle differences...?

    I can't help with B & C....sorry. As for A, it looks like they are two different sizes, which would contribute to the differences. A fatter cigar would need a stronger binder and wrapper leaf to hold it together. Also, a larger RG cigar, depending on the size of the cuts made would be a...

    Just be a good Canadian and apologize to her. Then again, she might take off the mail sac and hockey fight you. $20 says she wins. :-P

    BTW, let me know when you're coming and if I'm not doing anything, I'll come into the city and burn a couple with you. BTW, you can't smoke in the city parks or in Times Square just to let you know.

    Nat Sherman NYC

    I had a bad experience at Nat's. I bought a couple of cigars, asked if there's a lounge or a place I can enjoy one. The sales person was very smug and said, well, you can smoke in the humidor but you have to stand. Cancelled the order and walked out. There are a lot of lounges in the area...
