  • 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.

    What would be a good starting point.

    IMMO, you want maduro, you stay non-cuban. unless you consider some of the LEs as maduro, in which case that is a whole nother discussion. for me, as a whore for full flavor and full power noncubans, i want a rich profile and a nice weight out of my CCs. boli and trini have been kind to me...

    Show/List your latest NC Purchase

    keep in mind the rat is supposed to be a ball-buster. and i DO love them for it! but all the liga line has shown interesting behavior when aged. dig around, there are several preexisting threads on "liga, to age or smoke fresh", and many MANY differing opinions. but a year down or more may...

    Let's see what the brothers look like!

    NFG rolls off the tongue better when said in it's entirety. the F-stop is better used as an interim accent to speech rather than an abrupt lead in. also, a lead in to a let down: the new... talent? brother? hard baseball bat hitting "gentleman". nope. new f#@kin' guy, sucks to be him. it...

    pour over, french press, or even aeropress are THE best ways to go for a great cup without a huge equipment investment (which, y'know, nonCONUS, is probably a factor for you right now). glad to hear the quality of life went up a little for you! o) also, i seem to recall someone bombing me...
