  • 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.

    Let's Talk, BOTL and mental health

    dude, NO ONE expects an immediate response. anyone who DID PM you, did so out of concern. respond in your own time, in your own way, to whoever you feel comfortable responding to. there is probably no small amount of shock you're dealing with here. realize that. also realize, anyone who is...

    so what cigars DON'T you smoke?

    we all have one-offs, hard to find, gifts. by the time we get here, we understand special occasion smokes, whatever we may deem them to be. eventually, we also outgrow shit. tastes change, or blends change, and a cigar can fall out of favor. but i'm not talking about those. what i wanna...

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

    hey, if anyone is looking for a dead sexy briar, especially as a starter, look for alexander zavvos. dude out of greece, has a website, sells off e-bay under "alexander briar". he has apparently sold blocks before to sasquatch, the canadian carver, so he has decent raw material. his low ends...
