  • 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.

Heading to Johannesburg, any Int'l BOTLs?

I got some work taking me to South Africa in Feb of 2014.... any BOTL's call the surrounding areas home? I'll be staying a month or so doing the typical hunting deal up north, but it'd be nice to meet some fellow folks abroad.

A good friend of mine is from Johannesburg and still has some family there. His cousin frequents a shop called Amano cigars, but I'm sure there are many fine cigar shops there. I would check out Cigar journal! as they often highlight shops all over the world.

Remember, there is big push to ban cigarettes and tobacco over there. In Sourh Africa, like Australia, the government enjoys placing nasty looking photos to deter the use of tobacco, doesn't stop anyone I know. Also, I'm told they have a 40% tax, so cigars are not cheap there either, Enjoy, I hear Johannesburg is cool and still has many Great Dutch eateries,
