  • 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 round is full. If there is enough interest I will do a second round

So I did this last fall, and 3/5 King has inspired me to do it again.

I am looking for 3 or 4 willing participants to participate in a 30 day blind review. Before you sign up, please make sure you can review 3 cigars before October 15th.

I am offering free cigars to willing participants. These will be randomly chosen by my wife out of the humidor, so they could really be just about anything. The bands will be removed, and replaced with home-made ones (something like "A1" and "C6", etc). You review them, I reveal them. Simple enough?

The emphasis on this thread is not to correctly guess what you are smoking (though you absolutely can). The emphasis is an honest review. What you liked, what you didn't like, would you want more, etc. You do not have to become halfwheel and tell us about the butter popcorn you get by sniffing the burnt ash. It must include at least one or two pictures, and should include some description as best you can.

Review will be posted on BOTL under the Domestic Cigar or CC review thread, depending on what you end up smoking.

Rules
1. Minimum 3 months active on board.
2. Minimum 2 Trader Rating
3. You must post at least one review per week per cigar. So, if I send you 3 cigars... you have 3 weeks to complete the reviews. If you don't think that you can stick to that, don't sign up
4. If you do not complete the reviews by October 15th, a negative TR will be left. Sorry to do this, but last time someone just took the cigars and took off.


Outgoing: Problemsolverjc
1. KK33
2. Hoshy
3. Smoqman
4. Rasshat
5. Stogie
6. Dtgw

Sign ups are now open. Packages will ship on Thursday assuming we get 4 signed up.

I will grab a spot Jim. I actually found a couple favorites on smokes I'd never have tried on the last one I participated in. Thanks sir.

I'd love to participate, however, my reviewing skills are a little, shall we say, lacking? Nah, that's too nice, let's just say it's none existent. Let me do some "practice" reviews under my belt.

one spot left...when it is filled this round ships out. When this round of reviews is done, if there is enough interest I'll do a round two. September round and an October round. We need some more reviews.

And we are filled up this round. I will PM you all tomorrow night with your tracking numbers. Dtgw check your PM and let me know if you want to wait until next round or get squeezed into this one.
