  • 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.

    New box of Flor de las Antillas Toros- how long to leave in humidor before smoking?

    pretty much this. you may want to give them a week dependent on how well they were shipped, or who you purchased them from, but if they look and smell decent, spark one up! FWIW this is a fairly bulletproof and straightforward blend, and should be ready to roll. o) EDIT: also, what brandon...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    figured i would compare and contrast: like a blockbuster movie versus a stage performance: the movie has curb appeal, but a live performance has depth and nuance. and unfortunately a limited engagement. o( and kev's rwandan is a KILLER accompaniment!

    yup, that's me, dammit. so, pretty obviously i have been shark attacked here. just a stupid good pile, man! three quick things: - what's the unbanded? - there was a LOT of extra space in that box. just sayin, a medium flat rate can be put to better use. see next point. - we are...

    Estate Pipe Restorations...............maybe

    yeah, as far as i can tell, "estate pipe" sound better than "someone who might be dead had this in their mouth, now put it in yours". it's all about spin, really. o) although, in all fairness, as a good briar or meer is supposed to last decades easy, if well cared for, picking up a dunhill...

    Aerobie AeroPress

    aero makes a damn decent cup. still think a pour over method is best for clarity in a cup, especially when tasting/ evaluating, and french press wins for the texture (yum! viscous!). will add, even though this has a paper filter, the aero still gives a solid mouth feel from the cup, you still...

    Cigars that you don't plan on smoking?

    i am a philistine and will burn just about anything "just because". that being said, i am a believer of making an ordinary moment special. i REALLY don't like regifting: anything i am bombed or handed, i smoke, eventually. and, while i don't like sending oout anything i haven't burned, i...
