  • 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.

Post your Top 5 of 2009.

Um...What's the point to have a "top 5 of 2009" if you can include any year you want?!
I assume the name of the thread may have been a bit misleading but it is simply a thread about the top 5 cigars that you smoked last year. Cigars that (in your opinion) you enjoyed most in 2009.

The point is that it is fun to reflect on the smokes that you enjoyed and it could possibly inform other BOTLs of what may be smoking good.

Though it is possible to complicate it, the thread is not meant to be taken so seriously.
