  • 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.

    Linkedin... ?

    It's great for networking in the business world but some people use it as a Facebook Lite (I don't accept anyone on LinkedIn that I don't know personally or have worked with in the past). I do know of a couple of people that have gotten jobs from it though, so I guess it does work.

    Most you have paid for a cigar

    $45 for an AVO LE or Davidoff but I'm not sure which one it was. Bought it at the Davidoff Store in Columbus Circle. Next highest was $35 for a BHK 54 done via box split on another board.

    Fuente Hemingway

    Just out of curisoity, when you light them do you let the flame come into direct contact with the foot or are you puffing with the flame a bit away from the end? Tobacco can taste bitter when it burns too hot and most of the time, it comes from the lighting and allowing the flame to come into...

    Sorry I've been absent lately

    Just wanted to say that I'm sorry I've been absent from here lately. Work has be very busy as we just launched a new device / accessories. The last several weeks have been a blur of in-store trainings, sales meetings and training classes. Add to that the planning involved, travel, follow-up...

    What do you live for? Fight for?

    My wife and the fact that I'm too stubborn to belly-up for the bastards that think they can hold me down or impede me achieving my goals. I try to walk with Christ as well but I also stumble along the way.....a lot. I try to learn something new each day and go to sleep at night feeling that...

    Learn from my mistakes, my friends...

    That's the easy way out. I've trained my wife to recognize my favorite brands and sizes so that she can buy them for me. Every birthday and Christmas, I get a nice package handed to me. :)

    What Ring Gauge do you prefer?

    Actualy, I prefer Lonsdales, Coronas and PC's. Robusto is about as big as I like to go in terms of RG. Anything larger is uncomfortable.

    Invest-to-own Cigar Lounge

    In NY state, no...not at all. Otherwise, it would depend on: --Who the partners are and can I trust them? --What is their cigar knowledge? --What is their retail experience? Business ownership experience? --How much of a say do I have in daily operations? --What brands to they plan to...

    Cigar Reps....

    Just remember, that rep you just called desperate is the same rep that you also reached out to for free stuff. As far as a "our club is not going to be used by some desperate rep to pressure the local store into buying it", that's a pretty shitty attitude. If the rep is willing to help your...

    Cigar Reps....

    Let me see if I have this straight. You want the cigar reps to take time out of their schedule to come and talk about a product (and I assume give out samples) that the local B&M won't stock. Plus, you won't allow the rep to use your club as a referrence to support the demand for his product...
