So I've been laying low trying to enjoy some down time relaxing and enjoying the family and the fine weather we've finally gotten in the northeast.  But lo and behold...someone couldn't leave well enough alone.   I go to get the mail one fine weekday evening thinking about the cigar I'm gonna be...

WTF...I just got bitch-slapped by CigSid (Bill)!       Apparently I'm not the only one either.  Bill's been a very busy boy of late.     I come home yesterday evening after visiting my godson up in Albany and I see this box sticking out of my mostly buried in snow mailbox.  When I had left for...

I come home from a nice relaxing family vacation, and then this happens!  I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed after a week away and as I drive up my street on Thursday night I can't find my damn house.  Where the hell did it go?  As I make a second pass I notice a crater that looked...

I'm heading to Atlantis Paradise Island with the family in about a month and was wondering if any BOTLs out there can fill me in on what the smoking policy is there. Through search I found a few threads, but most of it is several years old, so I was hoping for some updated insight. I know for...

Well...it looks like the anti-smoking pundits have a new study at their disposal which I am sure they are going to try and utilize to get the current smoking bans expanded. We have all read about the ban coming to beaches, public parks, national parks etc. Where will it end. Anyway...I...

Hello BOTLs...I am seeking a little advice. Heading down to FL tonight for a wedding. First Orlando then Tampa Bay. What I am looking for is some suggestions of some great cigar spots to check out, experience and buy some cigars. I know the Corona Cigar Co. (all 3 of them) from trips to...
