  • 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.

    Brotherhood: Reward and Meaning

    i think what you are looking for is "idealist"? o) well said, and well meant brother! at the end of the day, this is more than a website, it is an opportunity. an opportunity some of us may not get to exercise on a regular basis, or ever depending on reigon and situation, to connect with...

    Fuente Casa Cuba

    IIRC retailers got to buy a box, unknown size, if they got 25 boxes of fuente regular stuff at the show, kinda like the 858 and hemmi SG's, and this year the destiny beli and lance. (any of the federal or emerson's boys wanna give us a confirmation on that?) but, yeah, this is a really soft...

    What cover of a song is actually better than the original?

    maralyn manson's "i put a spell on you", shonen knife on "top of the world" (mostly as it unnerves my wife that i can sing in engrish), and the entire discography of me first and the gimme gimme's. as long as it's LOUD. o)

    What's in your bowl today

    A ten foot coil of latex tubing i got from big box fix-it store and chopped into a lifetime supply of pipe softy bits. You try to take teeth marks out once, it gets old.

    What's in your bowl today

    some dunnie navy roll from the last stogie and pipe box pass in my nording ball, watching the sunrise and checking in the beer: also, as to a group buy for a BotL briar: while I think that would be cool as hell, i am not sure there are enough of us to actually be able to make that happen...

    Opus Destino al Siglo help

    pretty much fair market on that. $16ish on the beli and $23 o the lance. if you can comfortably pick them up, go right ahead!

    2013 BOTL™ Corona by Drew Estate

    just to summarize: "this house bourbon tastes kinda like pappy." "but pappy is very yummy, and hard to find!" "i know, right? cheers!"

    The Official Cigar Deals Thread

    dammit, y'all, i was TRYING to be good here! but a box worth of MKUltra and two bounds of pipe tobacco for the usual cost of a box? just to sexy to pass. o)

    What's in your bowl today

    no, that nording was a gift from a shit-ton of guys here, as part of the BBE IX. as such, i have to tip my hat every time i put a bowl through it. it smokes amazing, looks amazing, AND the guesture behind it still leaves me shaking my head. o)

    Cheapies ugh!

    just for clarification. there is ALWAYS someone who could use the hour mental health break your old yard gars provide. o) for me, going back to some of my training wheel smokes is like revisiting my old neighborhood. it kinda sucks, but back when i was younger i neither knew nor cared, and...

    Pipe and tobacco shopping websites.

    so, i just cribbed this from the cigar deals page, but they DO have a decent spread of tobacco as well, and the discount applies to all. box worth of MKultra AND two pounds, for the usual price of a box? yessiree! o)

    Fuente hydration packs and the little blue water droplett, When?

    i don't believe the 77 ever had cedar. the 55, the rounded torpedo, has cedar, but not the shark. i would imagine that it would be impossible to do on a box press without snapping the shit out of the cedar wrap. then again, this is fuente. as much as i love their lines, they leave enough...

    Fuente hydration packs and the little blue water droplett, When?

    sorry we couldn't be of more help. FWIW fuente is notoriously bad about trying to figure out age, which is why we all pulled out obscure shit to try and help. BUT. at the end of the day, you have a box of sharks. and if you got them for a price you felt was fair, that is always a win, man. o)

    drumstick

    this. IIRC craig mac said as much, so that means emerson's will (hopefully) get a round two. most probably the boys at federal as well. hell, be patient and they should pop up at most of our sponsors. OR, you could post an ISO in the marketplace.

    Fuente hydration packs and the little blue water droplett, When?

    yeah, but i have seen anejo released after that '02 date without either the indicator sticker or the boveda pack itself. i don't have any remaining (and more's the shame), but i can recall opening them before '06 and not having a boveda. opus as well. i HAVE consistently seen the last five...
