  • 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.

First Smokes in 18 Days YES!

Well I had a Monster sinus infection since Dec 23. That night I smoked a new Hem SS and that next morning they were locked tighter then you know what. Yesterday I could finally breath again after 2+ weeks of horror.(no drugs beat it the old fashion way). So what to smoke. Even better im going up to the local smoking hole to see whats poppin.
1. My 1 and only Tat Frank traded to me by Mitch in the sharks trade I did.
2. Cab Guapo RX 1 of a box I had for a while.
Got there and alot of the daily guys were there glad to see me as Im newer and I was glad to see them.
Bought a couple smokes as always even if I dont smoke them to support the owner.
Lit up the Tat Frank and away I went. Nice draw even burn most of the way thru but corrected itself in the middle. And 1 thing Ive picked up on this bad boy was Orange Peel in the middle. Never had that in a Tat before! Burned it down to the very Nub started getting hot an let it go out on its own.
2. Cab Guopo RX. with some steak tacos from next doors Mex hut.
Spicey up front mellowed into classic Guap smoothness. Nuts light wood. back to light spice on the end.

Well all I can say is there is a god and I cant wait to go back on Tuesday (work Mon) The only bad thing is I smoked my 1 and only Frank witch was wonderful.:sadcry: But what a way to smoke it on my 1st day back at the lounge.
By the way, to a couple guys that are looking for this smoke and paying 20.00dollars. Is it really worth it? Don't get me wrong I think its 1 of the best of 08but I think the pricing at MSRP was spot on @ 13 bucks.(yeah I know there limited smokes Id tried buying them a week after release)
P.S. I was talking to another brother named Dave at the lounge and I was ranting to him about BOTL and he saw the gleem in my eye and after 3o mins of talking he said this. "I see youre a good guy and I like all the sharing and comradery you've been doing with all the online brothers. I don't normaly do this"
He then pulled out a Cohiba Maduro Genios and gifted it to me. I told him I'd enjoy it on Aug 1st my Bday.
This was my day yesterday and thanks for listening in.

Glad you're back in the saddle. Last night I smoked my first gar in about 4 weeks due to oral surgery I had last month. It was a Don Carlos and was fabulous. The timeoff really makes one appreciate it that much more IMO.
