  • 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's in your bowl today

    actually i do like the 4noggins english blends, but their virginias seem better than their eng/balkan. BUT i am still picking up so much info, i really can't give you a solid answer. other than their sampler has five separate two ounce selections, in either VA or english, your choice. and...

    How long will an unopened tin of Dunhill last?

    fixed it. o) tins can and are used for long term storage, so the one you don't pop should be solid until you feel like it. hell, use a sharpie and write the purchase date on the bottom, then lose it for a while. also, if you will not go through an entire tin in what you feel to be a good...

    breakfast on ara this morning, a tat fed redux: FWIW, people who might grab an early day smoke, gravitating to milder or gentler profiles: there is NOTHING that jump starts the synapses like big bold broadleaf and stout coffee. until they invent intravenous bacon. o)

    Damaged Head smoking tips?

    all good feedback, but consider this; DE construction values are insane, especially at the LP level. i have burned undercrown and LP (even a rat), that had worse done accidentally, and they burned and drew perfectly. you'd be surprised.

    Wow so...

    FWIW the newer ones are different, and allegedly better than the old ones? i know there was a blend change, and they may not be the beasties you remember them to be.

    Is this common? looks like frog-eye leaf spots?

    nope, you are going to see that in binder and filler. wrapper needs to look flawless, but water and sun spots, natural flaws like that, are going to happen. i see nothing overt to be concerned about. and that is NOT beetle sign. or worm sign, for that matter. also, welcome to the club...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    had this winding home through traffic: great construction, looked beautiful, but lacked soul? i wanted big flavor, and they were just phoning it in, to me. so i pulled out... with thanks to simian from the train wreck affectionately known as the "we're not sane" pass. THIS delivers. o)
