  • 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.

    Not sure where to post this

    comedian billy connelly had a bit: "in scotland we have a saying: if you're gonna shad a sheep, take it to the edge of a mountain so it pooshes back better". nice find, sir! applicable in a lot of the rural states as well. like kentucky. o(

    current release benji CG, to side by side: these are smoking the same as the OR, a little more lively, but definitely the same blend. not something i would hunt, but good for those occasions when you want a hemi that goes to 11. o)

    To hell with this shitty day....

    dude, you DO have a job. and a wife and kids. and even family that is willing to step in and help. that part does NOT suck, try to focus on that. that said, i can relate to having a schedule change absolutely undermine everything you had going on, and that DOES SUCK. it is just a two hour...

    Storage question

    keep in mind, there's plastic, then there's plastic. the cello that some boxes are sealed in is vapor-porous, it just slows the exchange down some. which is VERY good for long term, actually. but if that wrapping was actually a good seal for humidity, B&M's wouldn't have to humidify their...

    Feral Flying Pig?

    welcome to the board! why don't you roll through the "introductions" forum, give a shout to to everyone? http://www.botl.org/community/forums/forumdisplay.php/23-Introductions as for the FFP, they are a small but recurrent release. drew estate has said they are (trying real hard to) rolling...

    Rocky Patel Cigars, what are your thoughts?

    pretty much this, jack of all trades, master of none. like sam adams; good beer, but by the time you are on the net chatting about it and hunting down stuff (like HERE!), most of their offerings pale a little. wouldn't turn down an old world reserve at a decent price, FWIW. o)

    Loose tobacco in boxes

    yeah, piccadura (IIRC that is what the shag packaging is called) is not really cured or processed for anything other than padding and humitity retention. i know the stuff used in acid boxes makes a passable bowl of potpourri. o)

    Let's Talk, BOTL and mental health

    not a joiner in most instances, the group setting would not have been easy for me, but got myself (mostly) dry for three years not, so i guess you could say friends in spirit? o) feel free to hot me up!

    Pipe newb "ah-ha!" moments

    good start to this, LPF, and great idea! it really sounds to me like you are over tamping, but have found a work around with your packing method, which i love! this method works for me at work, when it takes me all day to go through a bowl: quicker to load, and handles multiple rests and...
