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.
Sounds like you met JB, great guyStopped in Emerson's Cigars the day before deploying overseas in 2012. Met a retired Air Force Colonel there who made me feel right at home. After enjoying a Padron 1964, he went to his locker and handed me one of the Winston Churchill's he had. We both sat and enjoyed another great smoke together. I enjoy making every effort to visit local lounges wherever I go and have never been disappointed. Good company can always be found at a lounge.Emerson's Cigars - home and first real lounge I hung out at, went to events at and met up with many BOTL's there
Casa de Montecristo - just an amazing place all around
Casa Fuente - a must visit as many times as possible when in Vegas
That is freaking nuts, so are people anymore....well more than usual.Cigar Surgeon did you see what happened at Serious Cigar yesterday..there was a shooting. Ex husband vs new boyfriend. Thankfully no customers or staff were harmed. My friend that lives in Spring is a regular at Serious Cigar. I always hear about the customer appreciation party and cigar festival. I gotta get out to it one of these days.
Oh wow no, that's terrible! I'm glad to hear no customers or staff were harmed.Cigar Surgeon did you see what happened at Serious Cigar yesterday..there was a shooting. Ex husband vs new boyfriend.

The Occidental is a great place. ..I was there for a world series game a couple years back.I'm no longer in SF but Ox is and probably always be my home. They gave me a hell of a sendoff thanks to one of the regulars and Yvette, the newest partner to the bar. It's a great place and home for many.
I've never walked out of there feeling anything less than pleased, even when I spent more than my budget should allow.
