  • 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.

    Espresso machine help?

    when you say, "descale", are you talking about cleaning the group that holds the grounds and attatches to the body of the machine, or the entire water line?

    they are a $2 stick. if you are looking for a burner, a yard gar, a "background music", they work. i have a guy in my neighborhood loves the things. i have had a fistful that were frustratingly tight, but many more that were surprisingly decent, if flat. for all that guys go nuts over...

    Rash of PM's from noobs?

    you PM'd a MOD. you also have been active in trading and discussion. you also have a nod from a preexisiting brother. all of which add up to actual networking, being known and knowing people.

    Rash of PM's from noobs?

    this right here! new guys, we are predominantly american membership, and the site is based in the USA, and we DO NOT and CANNOT discuss trade or sale of cuban cigars openly. the LAST thing we need is to endanger the continued operation of a really cool community because someone wanting...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    IIRC all the tats are garcia made, but the original browns, the HUNTER line, are miami @ el rey de los hababos, and the entirety of the rest, including cononu and all three 7th, J21 & PCR, are all nicaraguan from my father SA. and i cannot swear to the limited's, either. and god knows there...

    Savinelli 320 Models

    the one i liked was the gaius line 320, IIRC. traditional sav fat author lines, but a bit tapering in almost like a military but, gave it a chubby elegance. also that unfinished rusticated model pictured above would color in aMAzingly if my instinct is right! look up the same model in a...

    Getting started with pipes.

    obviously, useless on cube cut, and requires running out of flakes and coins, but as a convenience, and confidence builder for the guys just getting up, it works. rocked out a bowl of newminster round slices tonight that way, rubbed out and balled in one step, and rolled the entire bowl on one...

    Getting started with pipes.

    quicker and easier: once you have an idea of how much your briar holds, grab that much and spin it between your palms, like bread dough (same motion and pressure you would use to roll out a ball for a cookie, say, or a meat ball). place it easily into the bowl and go. what can i say, i like...

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

    it is basically just a calendar, but it does list their monthly deals. so, say, you wanna save a little for when they go deep on dunhill tins, or H&H bulk, you will know in advance. or we will point it out when they run it. whatever.

    Show/List your latest NC Purchase

    y'know, when i saw this on tapatalk earlier, all i saw was "opus xXx, my first box purchase..." and my jaw dropped for what I thought was one of THE best box cherry poopings of all time! still a fabulous pick up, and I hope the get beautiful by the time you work down to the bottom of the box. o)

    Getting started with pipes.

    stupid little tip: got tobacco that is just a little bit dry, and want to liven it up? lay it on a plate and take it with you into the bathroom for the morning shower and shave routine, and leave the door closed. usually just enough to give it a little zazz! pack, and enjoy for the morning...
