  • 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.

    Where can I buy/sell/trade cigars?

    the n00b sampler trade, as stated, is the easiest way to get your first TR, always sponsored by a seasoned dude. after that, the NC pay it forward, non-n00b blind trade, Make a Wish pass II (if you can fill one), or one of the frequent box passes, are all great ways to get a few TR points, meet...
