  • 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 Tampa "the cigar city"

Tampa! Cigar Castle and Tampa Humidor are great. If you are actually in Ybor City, "true" cigar city, then check out King Corona and make sure you eat and have a smoke at the Columbia. If you're lucky Jerry Ober will be at the Columbia to help you pick out some good smokes.

I've hit most of the shops in Ybor City and the one must, as Stogie Bear said, is King Corona. Try their Puro Placer house blend. Tarpon Springs is a short drive from Tampa and has my favorite Florida shop, Serafin de Cuba. Their Serafin de Cuba maduro is fantastic.

Columbia had some of the best food I've ever had in my life!

Been a while since I have been in Tampa. One of my best friends is out there. Might be a good excuse if the wife let's me go... Ha ha ha

If you can pull it off let me know. You drive, I buy? As long as we talk about health care at some point I'm counting it as a business meeting. Gas and food is covered hahahaha

If you like hockey and the Lightening are in town, there is a Diamond Croen Lounge on the club level where you can smoke and watch the game. It's a pretty cool experience.

I'm a Blues fan, but that sounds like an awesome experience if I ever make it to Tampa.
