As another year zooms by, I would like to wish all of you a happy holiday season. Although I have not been on much in recent months, this is still home for me and in fact the only site I frequent these days. To Rod and all of the BOTL that day to day ensure that this community is the best on...

What up to all of my So Cal Brothers. I am highly disappointed that I missed the Pre-Thanksgiving Herf so In order to make it up to everybody, What say we get together one more time before the Holidays? In order to be politically correct we will call this the Pre-Holidays Herf. I know a lot of...

1,2,3 and just like that the Dodgers have left the Cardinals at home to clean out their lockers for the 2009 season :(. So much for all the bullsh*t and hype the "experts" were throwing out there that the Dodgers would be swept. Just goes to show that having the Cy Young and the MVP on your...

Hello All, As some of you may have read I have been on a bit of a leave of absence due to work and some personal matters. Now things are starting to look up again, and work and family life are starting to get back to normal. I have been trying to get my hands on some beers made by Cigar City...

What's up everybody? I have been on a bit of a hiatus due to my work situation and some family matters. Thankfully most everything is settled now except for my living situation. Not that any one particularly cares but just to bring things up to speed here we go. Earlier this year the account I...

Allright what the hell has been going on around here lately? At one point we were about 20 strong, and recently our attendance has declined (mine included). I know some can be attributed to weather, some perhaps the economy but we have to get together. :thumbs: I know Charley, Matt, and Danny...

Good afternoon everyone, I know Rod had planned for us to meet at the Hilton in Glendale, CA tonight. Are we still going to get togther? I know Rod had something come up and will not be able to join us. I had made arrangements not to miss this one as it is a significant event. If you are all...

I know how much Justin loves his Belgians especially quads, I have admitedly given up on certain Belgian styles (sorry Smelly). I have concluded that IPA's, Hefe's, Stouts and Porters are more my style depending on the season. Being that it is Fall/Winter I would like to trade for Stouts or...

I just celebrated my 31st Birthday and was just blown away by an unexpected gift from Stinki Monki. There is no words to describe Geoff's generosity, I wanted to thank him in person first but due to the fires I was unable to make it out last night. Many of you have had the pleasure and honor of...

So what do all of the skeptics have to say now? Manny has almost single handedly carried the team... 2 more home runs tonight... VIVA LOS DODGERS! DODGERS! DODGERS! DODGERS!

Still finding stuff that can be put to better use by other BOTL here. 1 Opus X A Master Box (hinges in that lid are a little loose, also a hair line crack that has had no affect on the box). I purchased it from a guy who used it briefly as humidor with a puckifer and it worked great for him...

I am looking for the advice from CP's sharp dressers, for the last couple of years I have been lucky to pretty much wear what I have wanted to work. However in the very near future the dress code in the office is going up to a least business casual attire (slacks, polo type shirt, and or button...

Anyone know the MSRP? I bought one and never used it (can't find the receipt). Looks like it might be time to find it a new home, TIA. Adrian

I had a great Father's Day weekend the Lakers won, Tiger is in a Monday playoff, won a few Poker games as well. That was not even the best part my kids made me some great cards, and my wife buys me a 28 count Vinotemp that was really unexpected. After much pondering and in talking to my wife she...

I am a life long Laker fan, and it has been 4 years since they were in the finals and 5 since they have won it all. I am ready to put a ISOM 5'er up against anyone who thinks the Celtics actually have a chance. Adrian

Billy (B.HOBS) has hit me hard with a HTF smoke that I have been waiting to try for a very long time it is much appreciated. Wanted to thank him publicly for this kind gesture. Oh btw Billy, pay back is a biaaaatch!!! Adrian

Looking for some help from my Brothers living in the Final Frontier. I have been trying to score Midnight Sun Brewing products specifically the limited Oak Aged Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter, or the regular Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter and finally the Artic Rhino Coffee Porter. I...

Well not that anybody really gives a s*it, but Rod was kind enough to allow me to change my screen name. The only reason is because unfortunately Opus X and I have grown apart. For me they have never returned to their glory days of old when they were really just rare and delicious. The Fuente's...

Okay once you are all done laughing at this post, I would appreciate your input. I am going to have to put some beads in the Humi Cabinet in my home office it holds about 30 boxes and 100 or so loose smokes. It is about the dimensions of your standard end table. I plan on having it at about 80%...
