  • 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.

I learned from several makers that those of us who worry about the dreaded cigar beetles could be worrying too much. While they all acknowledged it as a potential disaster – “the kiss of death,” said one – they also said all manufacturers take steps to prevent it.

Charlie Torano said fumigation is commonplace throughout the industry. “We also freeze cigars at minus 25 degrees,” he added, part of a process that lasts five days.

Seriously, how the hell, living in Tampa, did I not hear about this thing? It was right over at the hardrock...


Well, ignore the fact that I don't pay much attention to the NC side of the boards, but dang.
