  • 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.

    The Official Cigar Deals Thread

    ricky's are damn good cigars. if you bury them for a couple years, they become DAMN good cigars. rich medium with a lot of subtlety. i have some from i think '09 that are beautiful. pick'em up, bury them deep, and forget about them! o)

    Comic Books

    like sean said, those are NOT in great condition, but despite that, due to the era, they should have some value. someone should take them as a bulk lot. i have no solid concept of the value, but i can tell you to look for the comic shop that has been open the longest, and one that is known for...

    Pancakes - cello on or off?

    hash house a-go-go makes these snickers pancakes. normally i am a traditionalist on my breakfast foods, but these were. SO. STUPID. GOOD! the wifey offered me a bite, and i stole her plate! (to be fair, we are to the point she knows offering me food is forfeiting her claim to it. )

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    DPG superblue. did not want to work today, and had to have a carrot to chase. o) to me, it's like smoking a T52 and a 1926 simultaneously, while getting a backrub from a topless co-ed. you NEED to try at least one of these for yourself. for real-real.

    Cabinets with Glass: Bad for Cigars?

    craig and aaron have solid points. then again, if glass cabs were strictly bad for cigars, you wouldn't see large windows and glass doors in walk-in's at B&M's, right? like any other storage solution, you are looking for close and reliable seals, and temperature control be it active or...

    Cellophane?

    there are MANY pre existing threads on this (which i cannot look up on my phone at the moment), but the consensus is, it is only personal preference. a stash full of beautiful wrappers is sexy, but yellow cello showing age is as well. also, cello protects from nicks and scratches. also, cello...

    Pdr botl

    +1! while i think they are tasty, nothing is going to win everyone over. there are people who don't truly care for opus, liga, and padron. there are people who would love to have nothing but... you get the idea. plus side? they really don't do it for you, they should be easy to trade off.

    Wrapper types

    honestly, this is a cluster. you have designation based on location, like san augustin, ecuadorian, etc. you have designation based on color grading and curing, almost like coffee, like colorado and claro. and you have designations based on seed/ plant strain, like sancti spiriti, broadleaf...

    they are like the NFL, and INTENSELY dislike people using their names without permission. also the association with tobacco and such, as we are evil harmful people who eat babies. although p@yp@l, pail fail, and fund friend gladly process our transactions. dig?
