• 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.

    A Big **** Yeah for my Wife!

    my wife joanna has been with the IRS for over a decade, the majority of it as a lead. she has shied away from stepping up the ladder for fear of having to deal with politics, but over the last year and a half has decided she needed to try for it, if only for her own sense of accomplishment...

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

    who does those? i know Just For Him does the "middle earth series" like shortcut, ruins of issengard, et al., and another place does just a Hobbit's Weed, but i haven't encountered blends based on place names from the trilogy so far...

    Couple of botl etiquette questions.

    just to address this bit: realize we are talking about stuff that does cost a bit of cash, not to mention the HTF aspect of some. I have seen sick shit tossed at NFGs (sometimes by myself, yes), but if it is a guy you have dealt with here for years, multiple times, maybe they have helped you...

    Couple of botl etiquette questions.

    my takes: 1) i intensely dislike regifting smokes. however, as much as i have been on here, i feel sometimes half my stash came from someone else (seriously, guys, stop it), and my regifting a smoke i have had several times before might make someone's day in a n00b trade or random bomb...

    BotM - Baccy of the Month

    hell, i'm behind it. i think we would have enough other takers as well. maybe do a poll of just "would you participate in this?". also, for the name, how about "PoM"? pipe of the month captures the spirit of this group effort, and doesn't conflict with anything we might already have going...

    bombs at risk due to cold weather?

    yeah, but premium manufacturers still ship during these months, right? hell, UPS and FedEx are slower than USPS on average, even. my personal opinion (backed by a few trades here and there) is, send what you want, when you want, and trust that the recipient is going to rest them properly...

    Blends that make the brand famous....?

    as far as i am concerned, just like cigars, manufacturers all intend for pipe tobacco to be consumed. the end user makes the decision of what they want to cellar, and for how long. fuente wants you to smoke their anejos, and esoterica wants you to smoke the stonehaven. if it takes a decade...

    i can see Cmac's point, but shark is NOT that guy in any interaction i have ever seen. at. all. to the point, i have always had a nihilistic streak, so i just wanted to really see what thirty was like, doubting at times that i may see it. realistically, it's just more of the same. more...
