  • 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.

Interesting Ashton news...

While in one of my local B&M's I overheard the Ashton rep giving some interesting news on 2009 releases. He mentioned a VSG Lancero which I am slightly excited about. He also mentioned a VSG Robusto round that will be released in tubes. He said it would be an black aluninum tube adorned with the VSG band logo. And finally, he stated that the most interesting release will be a VSG robusto, same blend with a maduro wrapper. All of these have me drooling, figured I would share....

Lancero sounds great to me! The maduro sounds quite interesting and the tube...well, tubes are great as finger cases!

I have said that for a long time too, that Ashton needs a VSG Lancero. God that would be a great smoke. When Anyone actually sees these in person Let me know. ASAP!

Well very cool, I hope they all come true as we have it in GREAT with our VSG rep and usually carry every vitola, you don't walk into many B&M's and see that many VSG's all in one place.

I heard a rep talk once about VSG Oscuro. Probably one of those things they make and try like everything else, maybe just not for retail.

I think the lance would be very fun in that shape. I hope they cello it, damn brittle goodness.

If you have too many and need someone to send them to.......I am a huge fan of the Wizard, don't hardly see those anywhere here....

Sounds like an interesting twist on a cult classic.

Thanks for the heads up, the lancero sounds great.

Damnit, I sat with our Ashton rep for four hours smoking today and forgot to ask him about this stuff. However I did order four more boxes of VSG's!
