  • 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.

Scammers getting more creative

If this jerk did actually go to Cuba, he may have bought these off the street. All kinds of "Deals" on the island. A guy I worked with took a trip in 03 (TJ to Mexico City to Havana) and he brought back some Esplendidos that he bought in a neighborhood. They smoked and tasted pretty darn good but, he paid a C note.

Hell, the janitor at my last place of business was an ex-Cuban national. When it was still allowed for them to travel back and bring things back with them he used to bring boxes of cubans and sell them to the guys I worked with. No storage to speak of, he just carted them around until he could sell them. Must have been about 4 years ago he offered me what he had recently gotten from "his cousin". Funniest thing I've seen. Two out of the three boxes were for cigars that didn't even exist.
