• 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.

    giving thanks!

    you cannot dry out without being able to take stock of your relationships, so the "thankfulness" part of thanksgiving really strikes a chord for me. it continually astounds me and amazes me that i have been fortunate to have WAY more good and supportive people in my life than leaches and...

    yeah, it can seem frustrating and like some big secret, but really it's just having been on here, posting and networking with dudes. all it takes is time, and a good attitude. or in eddie's case, a huge bank of clip art pics. no one has pick ups like that. seriously. o)

    spartanfan came through on monday: on an admitted budget, he still done pretty nice. the oliva G mad and cain nub CT, brick house, SS are all solid, and the inch is probably going to have to wait until the thaw, that shit is BIG. and the little burners are all respectable, too, good for...

    just rolled out of work and (god help me) hitting up the grocery store. honestly sitting in my car burning this antano and waiting for someone to get in a fistfight over a turkey. but the cigar is good. o)

    So I'm going to Vegas

    NAILED IT! casa is it's own thing, and well worth it (coffee is killer as well!), but the davi shop at the venitian had a decent stash, at decent prices, and some cool people when i went.

    What's in your bowl today

    rough rub out and like 1/2 hour drying time and it's good to roll! and, yeah, "why rub out something that's meant to be a flake?", but if you enjoy the smoke, who cares. more to the point, plugs, twists, and flakes seem to me to be a different aging and processing, to change the final product...

    Sealed Ziploc Bags in Coolidor/Humidor

    FWIW NC manufacturers ship sealed and cello'd product all the time, which is stored intact in humidified back stock untill us greedy bastards buy it. the bags are not 100% vapor non-pourous, but enough for short term. especially as you are not planning on leaving them for too long, i wouldn't...
