  • 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 took a 15 count, an 18 count and a five count travel humi for 7 days. Made them easy to carry on in my small roller and easy to find. I have a 50 but just figured too much hassle and too easy to see. I came home with three sticks. Found I could smoke on the fan tail any time. Margaret limited my balcony time.

Thanks to all of you for your advice, I appreciate it.

Sheep - we're flying out Thanksgiving morning. I'll definitely take you up on your offer! I'll probably buy a torch in Barcelona, as there may be sometimes when I will smoke on deck (ie - out in the wind). Maybe pick up a few CC's...I had entertained the idea of buying a box of CC's in Barcelona and then smoking them all before Galveston.

I plan on making it over to Graycliff's when we're in Nassau.

Any of y'all have other "must visit" places?

Here are the ports/itinerary:
29-Nov Barcelona, Spain – Voyager of the Seas departs
30-Nov Cartagena, Spain
01-Dec Cruising
02-Dec Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
03-Dec Santa Cruz, Canary Islands
04-Dec Cruising
05-Dec Cruising
06-Dec Cruising
07-Dec Cruising
08-Dec Cruising
09-Dec Cruising
10-Dec Nassau, Bahamas
11-Dec Miami, Florida
12-Dec Cruising
13-Dec Cruising
14-Dec Galveston, TX
My wife and I did the Transatlantic cruise in Dec.of 2006 for 17 nights. You will like Barcelona but if you really want a good tour don't get roped into the bus tour,,,get a taxi and bargain with them. Cartegena is very nice and there are tons of shops in that port. Funchal is really great and take the tour to the top of the mountain. I probably enjoyed this island the best. As far as the 6 days cruising across the Atlantic you might get a bit bored so take enough cigars with you and sneak a good bottle of whiskey in your water bottle when you come back to the ship,,,,you will save tons of money on drinks. Have a great time!!!

Sounds awesome, have fun. Spain is the number one importer of CC's by a long shot, I would definitely buy while there for selection, price, and less chance of fakes.

I don't know what you guys think. But I just found these http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10247562
I have one couple oz tube of beads that I stick in there and just have a easy way to transport my smokes.

These are fine for tuperadors, but to transport, i worry about the smokes being loose and getting damaged. The travel humis we are talking about have foam trays that seperate each cigar and gently hold them in place.
