  • 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.

I am inspired by Ted's [ame="http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php?t=25660"]act of generosity [/ame]and I will continue his work. So here it goes. I can take on two newbs to the world of cigars. I am going to quote ratbert on his thread:

I’m looking for a couple of Newbies who want to sample some different cigars.

Here’s the story…I have more cigars than I will probably ever smoke. Whenever I’m nosing through my humidors, there are cigars that I pass over again and again in favor of others, so I pulled out a couple of dozen sticks that realistically I am never going to smoke. I want to give them to some Newbs who are just embarking on the cigar journey.

Please understand that these are not super-premium sticks…no Fuente, PAM, Tats, Illusione, DPG and certainly no CC. They are just an odd assortment of smokes, most of which I have no idea from where they even came. Most are larger size cigars, churchills and double coronas. But, they would be great for a rookie to try so that he can see how a churchill smokes different than a robusto, or why a maduro wrapper tastes different from a Cameroon.

I can send about 12-15 sticks and can do this twice. So I’m looking for two new Brothers who are just starting out and haven’t smoked very many cigars yet, but are truly interested in a life-long journey. (If you’re on a budget, or a student, so much the better, because if you can walk into your local B&M and drop $100.00 on a handful of premiums, then you’ll be a tad disappointed in what I send you!)

If you’re interested, PM me and tell me a little about your smoking experience to date and what you’ve tried and would like to try, and we’ll get the ball rolling on this.

***********************
So in closing the rules are pretty much the same. If you are interested PM me. I can do this a couple of times.

This one is done!

OK, one newbie has stepped up to the plate. I have checked my stash and I can do this two more times. Anybody new to cigars give me a pm and tell me a little about yourself and your cigar experience and I will make this happen.

What has this site come to...

Ish is trying to give away sticks and none of the newbies want free sticks. Ish if they will not take yours then I guess I will have to just throw the ones I was going to give away in the trash.
