  • 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.

George Rico from Gran Habano was hosting a cigar release event in Honolulu last week so of course it was time for another SWAMboree. This time the 808 Smoke Mafia guys went all out and brought enough food to feed the entire building! Dez, please please please make more of that awesome potato salad.
On to the photos:

The weekend started at SWAM as usual on thursday night


Da ono grindz!!!


Lots of food and booze


Fia and George


Green tea coco puffs from Liliha bakery


George brought a huge bundle of Zulu zulu habano from 2003! Smooth flavor bomb with perfect burn all the way to the nub.


808 Smoke Mafia guys. Thank you for not hockeying my shirt off my back at the Viaje event last year hehe. Btw Kurt, Teresa really really wants a pink shirt.


The lady in the red circle was so mad LOL, her car was buried in the right corner behind the green dumpster and couldn't get out.

Angry Lady: Excuse me! I cannot go home, please move your cars!!!
Me: Which one?
Angry Lady: All of them! I'm stuck in the corner.
Me: Hahahahahaha ok, I'll get the guys.


Saturday it was the Gran Habano event at Hawaii Prince Hotel.


Mark pouring out samples of whiskey and bourbon. Got to try the newly released Courvoisier C. Very smooth with a bit of sweet finish.


People waiting in line to buy the Gran Habano and Xikar products.


808 Smoke Mafia with George Rico


Barracuda paired with Camus X.O. I really enjoyed this cigar and ended buying a box before I finished my first stick.


After the event we headed down to Irish Rose for more smokes and drinks. The band that night (Elephant?) was badass!!! Me and my gf, Fia with his wife.


Dan, Bryson, Marvin (MC808), and Tad


One very happy drunk samoan putting his lighter app to good use during freebird. I will save the 7-11 sandwich/hotdog story for next time Jon. That is blackmail material lol.


Woke up to this to end another crazy weekend.
