  • 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 does everyone do with their bands?

    two bulldog clips holding two business cards flat, and each smoke gets it's band stashed inside, flat and safe. when i fill two of those, they get lumped together and cling-filmed into a mostly flat bundle. i keep hoping for a project to pop up, but it usually happens that someone opens their...

    Pipe newb "ah-ha!" moments

    kudos on the learning curve! FWIW, i have heard the CAO blends are solid, but i have yet to meet an aromatic that really worked for me, and the toppings/ casings (flavorings) that make them what they are usually make them burn pi$$ poorly for me. lay them out a day in advance. even in A-stan...

    yeah, identity crisis aside, the new oliva offerings for padilla still TASTE like padilla, if that makes sense. i think the days of stupid deals are over; most of that seems to me to be all the old stuck dumping to make room for new stock. still, IMHO they are still in the game.

    What caused this and what do I do?

    FWIW that looks like impact damage to me, not humidity issues. shit happens. and contact the shop, but do it nicely just to feel them out. i wouldn't expect anything, but you never know. now, the plus side: DE has AMAZING construction values! i have ham-fisted UC, T52, and LP9, and was given...

    so what's the deal with the filters?

    point craig. actually, the whole filter thing is major in europe. i myself am not a fan, but that's me. smoke for a while, try out both, pay attention. it's ultimately your choice. kinda like choosing the humidity of your stash; LOTS of opinions, and some even informed, but ultimately your...
