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.
Finally made some cigar art out of my old bands....

I basically just got a plain frame from Michaels that had a glass front on it. Glued all of the bands directly on the inside/back of the frame with a glue stick. Let it dry overnight and put the glass and frame on and voila....
3-4 hours with all of the gluing... Took some breaks to clean the glue off my hands and let stuff dry

Weird, I'm kinda doing the same thing. Me and my girl are making a collage of all the cigars and places we've been in our first year of living together.
Trip to Destin, Florida.
My first trip back to Kansas with her, movie tickets from then, too. (Check out The Warren Theater, more cities need one of these)
Trip to Nashville and Opryland
Our Zac Brown Band tickets, kinda our first date, from New Year's last year.
Matt Nathanson tickets from her birthday
My Afghani currency from going over there.
Colombian pesos from my trip over there
The front page of the Wichita newspaper showing her Alma Mater in the NIT for the first time.
Then there are all the cigar bands we've accumulated over that year.
The whole thing will have a glass top put on it to protect the whole thing, and the bottom rail that holds the legs on will be covered with our wine corks from shared bottles over the year. It's basically a utilitarian scrapbook of our first year together. I can't wait to finish it.

That's awesome I tried to get my wife into cigars but it was a no go.
Very nice!

Very cool. Have the intention of doing something similar to my "smoking table" I have in the garage for winter use.... wood top with a glass overlay. Intend on gluing the labels to the top then putting the glass over of course for additional protection.

It was the private blend for Warped cigars. He's a member on here. He is taking a short hiatus from the cigar world as he finishes his degree. He might still have some stock if you shoot him a PM. He makes great cigars.
