• 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.

    Starting a cigar club... Suggestions?

    One thing I saw someone do on FB is publically post that they are "accepting gift boxes from vendors in exchange for reviews". Please don't do that. Not only is it tacky and lacks class but made the group come off like a bunch of mooches. As a product rep (not cigar), I can tell you the...

    general questions for a beginer
