  • 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.

    2013 BOTL™ Corona by Drew Estate

    i think tim's system will let you input what you want, and then he gets to manually adjust it later, which has to suck. not that i accidentally did this last time or anything. pure speculation on my part. o( EDIT: and as tim has verified below that he DOES have to adjust any orders that...

    you will almost certainly be adjusted down to just one box by the time they get ready to charge and ship.

    Is this a real smoking technique?

    now, blowing ONCE through a cigar, a "purge", can help off flavors, and sometimes help correct a burn issue, but doing THAT ^ just seems to beg for overheating or getting tar-balled.

    Newbie seeking flavor! (tasting/technique/cigar choice?)

    the guys who are saying "start with bigger flavor" have the right idea. i started in the late nineties, going "gimme mild, gimme light", and getting a bunch of crap like macanudo and canary'a'doro (?) and being really frustrated, like i was missing out on something. finally, after voicing this...
