  • 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.

Ever say I wish someone would make this accessory?

First look at some U-Tubes decide if you want the to do the investment of time, to make the Cigars well. Most things in life that work out well take an investment of time, money, plus there a learning curve.

I tried it once rolling a Cigar that is, profession let me try, results were not pretty. Gave me a new respect for the rollers.

I've gotta go look at that thread. I've never rolled tobacco before.

There's 3 or 4 relevant threads I think. Some about getting started, blend testing, pics of sticks, all with good info. And theres a place you can get a starter kit. @Hopduro, @BrewinHooligan, @blisscigarco and several others would be glad to point you in the right direction I'm sure..

Well if you give it a try, you will if nothing else have respect for what people do for a living. Honestly I was watching a Padron Cigar with Mr. Padron Sr. He mentioned that his senior roller has 40 years expierence, and is the only roll to do the big dollar limited edition Cigar.
