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.
Cincinnati Herf June 8th House of Cigars
- Thread starter stin187

I should be up there around 530ish. Wife works till 5 so have to wait till she gets home to watch them
I'll be there after 5 sometime, maybe by 6. Looking forward to meeting everyone! I'll come back and find you guys in the lounge. They do have a "requirement" that you purchase a cigar in order to smoke in the lounge. I'm sure that's the norm at most places, but don't want anyone to be unpleasantly surprised!
You just flew back TO Cincy, or just left Cincy?
I should be there around 5:30-6:00. See you all there.
It was really nice meeting everyone tonight. Nice to share stories and smoke some stogies with you all.
All of you brothers made my first herf a blast. Anytime you Cincinnati guys want to get together again, let me know. I'm in.
Justin, thanks for putting this together and enjoy the rest of your tour.
@cigarblunk That sucks to hear. I'll try to get over there in the next couple of days and give a full report.

It was great to meet everyone last night. I'm also in for any future herfing.
A very good time with a great bunch of BOTLs. Very knowledgeable and very, very generous. I'm in to do it again soon. I was getting bombed every time I turned around and I need to reciprocate. Thanks again for all the great leaf. A ninety mile drive ain't nothin'.
I stopped by Indie pipes today on my way home from work. The shop is not in a very good neighborhood. In fact, in 1994 my first apartment was about a mile from there. Someone broke in and stole a bunch of stuff and my pickup to haul it all off. 2 weeks later, the police found it abandoned in the residential area behind the shop.
All of their cigars and cigar accessories are 20% off. The walk-in is super tiny. Only about 6x6 with three rows of shelves on two of the walls. About half the stock is mid level DE stuff. UC, Nica, Isla del Sol, and KFC. Some Alex Bradley, and various others. The jewel for me though was 6 different boxes of 1502's. I really like their emerald blend. I picked up a couple box pressed lanceros of emerald, ruby, and black gold.
None of their pipes are on sale.
I spoke with the salesman for a few minutes. After being there for only a year, the landlord sold the building and gave them little or no notice, and now they have to move. He said they haven't found a new place yet. If they can find a place where they can have a retail space, and a place to smoke, they'll reopen a store. If not, they won't. He left me with the impression that they do the majority of their business selling pipes online, and that selling from a B&M wasn't a priority.
