  • 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.

There are more and more 60 rings hitting the floor in 2011 and it wouldn't be a bad idea. I can't use your tubes on my LFD 700s, but would like to if there's a 60 ring version.

is my 55 ring gauge cigar tube good enough? or do we need a 60 rg?
Hi Ron,

I buy several of your cigar tubes throughout last year. I have a hard time putting certain cigars such as padron 80ths and certian belicosie sized cigars. I love the tubes there a great hit with the people I share them with.

Do you ever plan on doing any that say BOTL?

Thanks,

Jon

I'm game for 60RG tubes - I love the 55, but it can't fit some of mine (go figure). IIRC, the 55 goes from 5 inches to 8... I'd like to see a 60RG tube that is 4"-7". That way NUBs would fit it comfortably (no vertical rattle-space so the caps don't get cracked!) as would MUWAT in the 7" format... If possible, I think 4-7 is the right window.

Count me in!

You could just stack two nubs so they would be more snug. . .
BRILLIANT!!

To me, NUbs are the dominant 60RG stick, or at least they were at the head of the fad, and are still some of the best 60's out there (all my opinion, but still). Since NUbs hold this spot, at least in my mind, I'd like to see the herf-tube made specifically to accommodate those at the lower end... Also, 4.5x60 is a fairly common size, so I don't think a 4" minimum would be that unreasonable... But still, stacking them. Good call (although that comes to 8" and change, which is a bit on the larger end. I think smaller would be easier, but that's a guess)

Cheers!
