  • 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.

This event looks awesome. No cover charge either, even though it's at a B&M (Empire Cigars in Raleigh) and they're providing MASSIVE free food and drink. Whole roasted pig and Cuban sides, beer and Mojitos, door prizes, and Don Pepin himself rolling da smokes. I'll be all over this one like a hungry beetle on fresh tobacco, getting my roast pig and drink and smoke on. How bout you guys?

I'm the chick with long dark hair and glasses (Tanith) hanging out with the guy with a massive flaming red beard (Rob, aka TheBeard). Say howdy if you see us!

Forgot to mention, we might have crash space for out of town peeps coming for the event. Nothing fancy, and you'll be sharing the bathroom with a (safely caged) venomous snake currently in quarantine/rehabilitation care, but BOTL's and SOTL's are welcome to hang if the drive back is too daunting to start after a night of hard partying with Don Pepin.

See, that is exactly why Raleigh is one of my favorite cities. The people are just amazing out there. Great offer! I'm on the Left coast right now, and I tow my own hotel room behind me-but that's classic North Carolina right there.

I'm taking a half day at the office so I can get there early for this one. I have been brushing up on what little Spanish I know so I can talk to the Don directly and tell him how much I like his cigars. This is gonna be a blast. Get there if you can.

The time for all of us to step up to the plate and eat some swine is upon us. The Second Annual Pork n Puff is this Friday starting at 3:00PM and we are excited!!!

Jose Garcia , the man behind Don Pepin cigars, will be here with his #1 roller, Rene. The last time Jose was here, we had the best turnout we've ever had. Jose is in a very generous mood and is ready to make the best deal we've offered since I took over Capital City more than 2 years ago.

How does this sound?

Buy a box of any Don Pepin product and get 10% off plus 7 cigars plus one fresh rolled cigar plus 1 raffle ticket for each cigar purchased.

Buy 2 boxes and get one box free plus 15% off plus 2 fresh rolls and raffle tickets for each cigar purchased.

Buy 3 boxes and get 1 1/2 boxes free plus 20% off plus 6 fresh rolls and 1 raffle ticket for each cigar purchased plus an additional 25 bonus raffle tickets.

What are the raffle prizes you ask?

How about a 42" plasma screen TV, an iPod Touch, a Garmin GPS, a one of a kind humidor made in Cuba worth $3,500 and various swag from Don Pepin.

(One rule to keep in mind for the drawing. The ticket must be in attendance. If you can't make it, give your tickets to someone who will.)

What else is going on?

We will be roasting a whole pig and doing it Cuban style!! Add the appropriate side dishes, throw in 5 different beers from Walt and Rich (our Blue Ribbon home brewers), some mojitos and Cuban music, and you've got a party.

We will doing the event in the store and outside, so bring a lawn chair, a sun hat and all your friends! Don't forget to get your official Pork n Puff t-shirt commemorating the big event. So don't miss the social event of the year!!!!

*** - There is no charge for the festivities, but we ask that you make a minimum purchase of $10 to partake in the goodies. See you all Friday!!!!!!

I didn't win anything. But I did get to talk to Don Pepin. I used what little spanish I know to tell him how much I enjoyed his cigars and then he told me "Thank you"..... in English. LOL.
