  • 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.

... which is a good thing!

I'm not a huge tat freak, but I really enjoyed this cigar. In fact, I liked it a lot better than the Frank!

Tons of flavor, this was less in your face than your standard Tat - which was a welcome change. Makes sense though, the Out of Costume actor should be mellower than the monster, right?

Clicky for the full review - pics will be posted tonight (sorry!)

you note in your review that the Boris does not come in a coffin shaped box. Although I see your point that it does not come in a traditional, monster, 6 sided coffin, the box it does come in (from pix I've seen) looks more like the caskets used today (minus the bowed top).

You're right. I feel like the Boris box is supposed to represent a modern casket (complete with brass hinges) whereas the Monster boxes are old-school cool looking "Hollywood" coffins.

That's why I really want to at least get an empty Boris box!

Just wanted to let you know that I really like your web site! You obviously spend a lot of time on this and it shows. From a fellow North Cackalakian ( Winston Salem) keep up the great work!

Great review! I have to admit I've been more excited for the Boris than the Drac, ever since I found out about the wrapper :yes:
