  • 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.

Stogies World Class Cigars order -- nicely done

I bought a box of the new La Palina H-Town Lanceros from them as well as a single Namakubi H-town. Andrea sent a nice note and a hitchhiker house lance to keep it company with the Boveda.

First order from them and got a promo bag to boot! Well done, Stogies and Andrea.

Yea I know they're not a site sponsor, but they are a great retailer. Just recently started ONLINE I believe. I ordered 3 singles of the La Palina H-Town. I really love how you can just do singles there. Sometimes a fiver is too much for something never tried.

I'm going to try to hold off on them for a bit -- unfortunately they have 2 things that make that really hard: La Palina, and lancero ;)

I'm not surprised to hear they do good work at the B&M as well. Some people just know good customer service, and some don't Those that do? Get a lot of business.

Also: how cool is it that they have a house blend in this vitola? Lanceros rule.

Quesada, Room 101, Fratello, La Palina, Alec Bradley and My Father all have either exclusively made or gave first rights to Lancero vitola blends for the shop. All are labeled H-Town Lancero, I got a a few of each brand(and have been know bomb them out). My sources tell me Tatuaje is next on the list to release an H-Town lancero.

Aw man now I wish I had brought one to smoke tonight too. Gonna rest em more I guess.

Now, a TAT h-town? You got me thinking about box #2!

I have had the Namakubi h-town but not the others. I may have to see if they will do a bundle. Do you know if they do a sampler or plan to?

BTW smoked the house lance last night and it was NICE.

Sorry for the late reply, but I am assuming they will be doing a sampler eventually. 13 cigars in total will be made as store exclusives so hopefully they put one together! I need to get to that house blend eventually, I've heard only good things.

I wanted to bump this thread and share my fantastic experience with Stogie's World.

Last week I ordered a box of the Room 101 H-Town Lanceros and a box of the La Palina H-Town Lanceros. Both arrived incredibly fast (and even included one of those little back pack bag thingies). Both boxes also came factory sealed. When I opened the box of Room 101, 3 of the cigars had obvious mold on the wrapper (but not on the foot). I took some pictures, sent Stogie's an email to find out what their return policy was, and then wiped the cigars down with some DW. Once the mold went away, I stuck them in my coolerdor.

Jorge from Stogies responded to my email within a few hours and called me shortly thereafter. I told him that I'd wiped the cigars down and was going to wait and see what happened. After 4 or 5 days with no return of the mold, I sent him another email and said not too worry, thing looked ok. (I've wiped down a few other cigars before without issue and since the mold was contained to only 3 out of 20, I didn't think it would be a big deal to do it again).

Well, imagine my surprise when I get a package in the mail today with a very nice note, 3 new Room 101 Lances, and 2 extra lances as an apology. Totally blown away by the gesture. I know these guys aren't a site sponsor, but I'll definitely be using them again. They're a shop that loves Lanceros (just like me!), that ships quickly, and that has outstanding customer service. A+ in my book.
