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.
With This News, I May Need More Storage. :)

Great ammo for the wife that likes to give me crap if I have more than 1 a week. "You're gonna get cancer."
Good to hear, I had 2 cigars and burned 3 bowls in a piipe last month.
I'm good.

Who?
NICE. My wife thinks I'm going to die 10x faster with a cigar than the cigs I used to smoke.. I keep telling her... but does she listen? lol..
back about 20 years ago, the WHO(world health organization) came out with a report stating second hand smoke does NOT cause lung cancer, right around the same time reports were coming that cigarette smoke causing lung cancer. A few months later, FDA found a research reporting second hand smoke causes lung cancer. well surprise, surprise, WHO came out with "new" research stating second hand smoke causes lung cancer, a few month following. So how long will it be till FDA finds 'new' research strongly linking cigar smoke to cancer?

Just to play devil's advocate here, that site is self admittedly a pretty biased site. While their representation of the study is accurate TTBOMK, when investigating things like this, it's always better to go to the source and read the study yourself (if you are able to). Here is the study I think they are referring to:
http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/brp/tcrb/monographs/9/
I read it a few months ago, and concluded the same as their post (i.e. 1 to 2 cigars a day posed a negligible risk of death due to smoking). In fact, the very slight (2 in a 1000) increase in death from any cause could be attributed in the fact that the average cigar smoker isn't necessarily running marathons and eating salads.
The worst case scenario that they studied was 5 cigars a day with moderate inhalation! (and that's what the warnings assume)... who has time to smoke 5 cigars a day? and inhales?.... seriously FDA? GFY.

Well, I'm convinced @bostoneo isn't real; he's just a collective manifestation of what all the BOTLs on this site wish we could do everyday.
He's our Tyler Durden.
I've seen reference to this study before. Question is, what do they consider a cigar? A Corona, Torpedo, Churchill, or one of those 6" x 60 jaw breakers? I personally average 2 to 3 cigars a day, but they are usually Coronas, petite Coronas, or Robs. I also eat very healthy and workout, so I'm not too worried.

Get back in the gym and healthy living bro! We have a lot of smokes to smoke, you feel me?
Oh he's real. Pro tip: don't let him eat eggs on a road trip. Ask @Mossome if you don't believe me.
