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.

Latakia
nope, but it has latakia. lat is a "condiment" tobacco, used to add flavor and interest to a blend without using flavored casings or toppings. it is frequently in "english" blends, and almost always in "balkan" blends. it adds a whole bunch of pungent smokey flavors and rich creamy textures...- javajunkie

Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)
couple smokes while in off premise errands today: estillo cubano: decent in a full and berry-like way, but had some sour notes that didn't work. them again, it was under a fiver for a well made PL. win. impeccable, despite the swampy humidity. this was from their first release of the...- javajunkie

How much is smoking worth to you?
from a practical standpoint, they make little difference between smoking and smoking. cigars are not ciggies. pipe is not dip. go without for a week or so and lie your ass off! if they don't spot check, they will never know. from an ideological standpoint, i get you, i really do. having my...- javajunkie

Where's The Penzance?
seems to me like chasing DE unicos: partly timing, and partly having a good relationship with places. also like the unicos, the secondary market is stupid. good luck on the hunt!- javajunkie

Drew Estate Pipe Tobacco
just to point out, MSRP and what it sells for are not always the same thing. they WANT it to sell for $12, but if someone can make their points off less, then they might sell it for less. thus, the internet. personally, not geeked that all but two are aros, but these guys make it a point to...- javajunkie

Pipe newb "ah-ha!" moments
absorbancy and added surface area. same would work with those paper bathroom towels or the heavier paper napkins. my newest: there is no "right" way to prepare the tobacco if it doesn't work for you. cube cut just don't fly for me so far. even went as far as rubbing out the cube cut burley...- javajunkie
