  • 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.

Any handy brother want to give this a try on a cigar? I'm actually a bit curious to see how it would perform. Cool idea!

Seems awesomeee! i would like to see how it works on a cigar. I doubt it would work well though. It seemed to take its time lighting a cigarrete. It would probably take to much timee to light a cigar! anyways definitely seems like something fun to have around!

I made a blue/violet laser from a blue ray diode 2 years ago, wish I could find what happened to it. They really can light stuff, I have a 50mw green laser right now that pops balloons. When you get above 300mw you should have no problem lighting a cigar, but also burning your retinas as well if there is no filter.

I'd tend to think that the point of ignition would be to small to effectively light a cigar, but all the same, I'd tip my hat to anyone that tried it.
