  • 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.

Thanks for the invite. Wish I could have stayed a bit longer. I appreciate the sticks. I'm looking forward to the next get together...I will be much more prepared the next time around.

The Leaf is a Chicago suburban beacon. I love this place. Another great gathering with great boys.

I think the real word you were searching for is "Legend"

....and it's all because of the Burning Leaf Consortium!

I watched you guys damn near all day, glad to hear everyone had a great time!

Just wanted to say what a great time I had with you guys. All the guys are a great bunch! I was so good to put a face behind the name after all this time. Want to thank everyone that was there and everyone that was involved in some way, shape or form. Big thanks to Hdroadglide, Podman, Benzopyrene, Joiletfire, Aquarich, Kockroach, Terrantheman, Kurtdesign, Sam a, Jbott21, Thekid and anyone that I missed. It was great to finally meet Bob after all this time talking to him! He came all the way from Missouri. Thanks again to everyone, you guys are all a class act!

Awesome herf with some great brothers. If you ever want to know just how little you know about cigars, find the time to catch up with Kurt Design and Benzopyrene!! I had a great time hanging and talking cigars. All told, I believe there were 12 BOTLers at the Leaf. Thanks to everybody for driving in, and I hope to see you in Indiana. :cbig:

Thanks to everyone that came out. I had a blast. A big thanks to Bob for making the long drive and for the sticks but more about that later. There was smokes, drinks, BBQ, and a lot of fun. Not to mention all the groundfire. Time to work on some TRs today.

Ah, so that's why I felt creepy all day! So Lar, when are you going to be the performer and not the voyeur? There are plenty of hotels in the area around Plainfield :smokingbo

I might be spilling the beans but I wouldn't doubt if the Leaf regulars have something fun cooking for all to enjoy later this year. It could be killer. Keep a lookout!

first off, thanks to tim for the hospitality. the leaf is an awesome place to start with! and for any of you guys who ever have the opportunity to go to any herf where your botl brothers are, do NOT miss going. when you finally meet your brothers that you've talked to on the forum in person, you find out they are even better guys than you had imagined. so rich, terran, luke, cubuan pete, jere, kurtd, jfire and anyone else i might have missed (can't remember), it was a blast, and what our brotherhood is all about! food, drink, fantastic cigars and brothers....it doesn't get any better!! thanks guys
