  • 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 time 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.

I have a subscription to Cigar Aficionado; I think of it more of a "lifestyle" magazine, like Robb report, that covers cigars.

Does anyone have a subscription to CA's Cigar Insider, twice a month e-newsletter? What do you think? They say it has ratings & reviews not published otherwise. The description makes it seem that it's more about cigars. I was wondering if it was worth adding to the sub.

i get it, and it's interesting. it IS mostly cigars, very condensed format, less "go fly here to this private island on your private jet in your bespoke undies" crap. (classist? me??? NO!)

then again, halfwheel usually scoops them, with better info and reviews, in a more timely fashion. and it's free. so there's that.

Another reason why I think Cigar Press will be my new favorite cigar magazine...
