• 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.

    Would you smoke these moldy cigars?

    yeah, mold usually doesn't go away they easily in real life. it doesn't look BAD, but i would be worried. have you inspected the feet of the cigars? a little on the capis one thing, the possibility of it being in the filler is a whole different game. good luck with it.

    Newbie pipe question

    while some can totally walk away from a bowl and return to it a day later,i would say pack it smaller. nice thing about a pipe, you can dial it in to your needs at that moment. and good luck. your schedule sounds screwed, buddy, and i know what a stressor that can be. o)
