  • 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.

New lighting technique

That's not new...there's a YouTube vid out from a couple of years ago showing this method. I've done it several times for fun and it works reasonably well.

Maybe using half the cedar? Instead of having a 4-5" extension flaming away. I could see doing this with an 1" or 2"...By myself, not at the B&M!!! LOL

yeah, but the cello should smolder longer than cedar, ensuring a more even light, right? imma try this on an anejo!!!
I was gonna ask if people leave the cello on or off but since you answered, I do not need to.

I posted on the forum asking if it was a joke, the response
" I've never personally tried it, but some guys think it's fun"

Also, make sure you rotate the cigar as you light it, you want the burn to be as even as possible. You don't have to worry about "toasting" the cigar, the cedar does that for you! ENJOY!!
