  • 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.

Ok Im wanting to put together a Pipe Baccy Box Pass.

So here is what I want to do; Pipe Tobacco, 1-2 oz baggies and 2 oz tins. I will put together say 14-20, half baggies half tins, depending on how many join the pass. The swap will be tin for tin or baggie for baggie. Say 5 total swapped, again depending on how many in the pass. Smacking the next guy in the pass, although not necessary, is welcome and encouraged, say with a couple of ouces or a couple of tins of your favs. Looking for your go to blends, favorites, a local shops blend, etc in the pass.

I also like to do a game or two during the pass, so each person in the pass will have an envelope with their BOTL handle on it. Inside the envelope will be 2 playing cards. At the end of the pass, we will have 1 hand of Texas Hold'em. The winner will get a prize from me, to be determined and announced later, probably a few ounces and or tins and maybe little trinkets.

All DC#s will need to be posted on the "Official" Pass thread. That way we all can see its progress.

If anyone has any suggestions for this pass please post up or PM me. Im open for suggestions.

So sign up, lets see how many we can get.

We can stick to mostly baggies if you think that would be better. Im not sure how most Brothers buy their stashes, i mean I saw alot of tins and mason jars and baggies in the pic threads. I could do like a 70-30 split of baggies and tins. What you think?

That will work, I also suggest that we can throw in samples. We don't have to trade them but I know the pipe community just a sample for a bowl or two can be nice. I am good either way but I'd love to hear some opinions on that as well. There are a lot of moments when I won't buy a tin just because I haven't sampled it yet.

I'm a tin guy for the most part... But keep a few baggies around...

I think it will all end up equaling out regardless of how the box starts :)

These things tend to grow around here...

That box might up leaving weighing a pound...

It will likely cone back weighing 2 lol...
