  • 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.

Chicago Herf "warm-up" event.

Just got back from an event tonight at Lake Country Cigars in Delafield Wisconsin. Got some great Drew Estates and JDN cigars, spent some good quality time with Jonathan Drew and pulled the trigger on my CRA membership with Patrick Carr. I also got some sweet swag and freebies! :thumbsup: Drew Estates had a "buy three get one free" deal going plus I got 2 smokes on the spot AND another 2 coming in the mail for signing on to CRA. I also got a killer JDN hat and a copy of the latest Cigar Afficianado magazine. On top of all that, Jonathan gifted me a MUWAT baitfish which I smoked while I was there AND a JDN dark corojo Antano that I enjoyed on the trip back to my hotel!!!
:cbig:

Unfortunately I am not able to make it to the Chicago Herf this weekend :frown: but if the warm-up tonight was any indication it should be a great time. I have attached some photos of me, JD and Patrick as well as my a shot of my latest purchase and sweet swag for everyone to enjoy!

BIG THANKS to JD and Ben from Drew Estates, Patrick Carr from CRA as well as Mary Lynn & Don from Lake Country Cigars for putting on such a great event!!!!
:applause:

Very cool!
So... what'd you think of my hometown B&M???
Top Notch!!!

Selection is great, prices are reasonable and the owners are really nice. Met Don and Mary Lynn and then sat and then got a nice tour and chatted with Mary Lynn for about 10 minutes. You are lucky to have such a nice place near home base for you....I've got nothing where I am at.
