  • 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.

If you had $500.00 to blow on Cigars, and Cigar Accessories for Christmas?

Me personally, or what you should buy? I have so much I don't need, or have any want, to buy anything cigar related at this point. I have cutters and lighters of all varieties, but what I have learned about myself is that I have one trusty cutter and lighter that I couldn't care less about if I dropped it on the concrete. So with that said, a cheaper fiberglass Xikar Xi, and a cheaper Xikar torch is all one needs.

would buy one box of something that would fit into my rotation. Keep the rest for a deal when it happens.
I have depth in my regular sticks, and really do not need anything in that category.

You need a plan to maximize your 500.00...... Don't give it to the pressure of spending all of it in one go.
Decide what you will do with the cigars, age and try occasionally, long term age, smoke now.
This should determine what to buy.
I would avoid Cohiba, too hard to keep your hands off, and they really need 5 years.
If you can find some aged stock, spend a bit more and accelerate your learning curve.
Samplers would be another way, broaden your knowledge of brands, and then pick.
And, I would stay in the sub 50 ring gauge category until you have tried most brands and have an idea of your favorites.
