My wonderful wife and I have drank scotch in the past and really enjoyed it but never really looked into it a whole lot until within the last couple of months. After doing some preliminary research I find it very interesting that, like wine, scotch has varied regions with each having a loose...

So the wife and I decided to get an early jump on Halloween and carve pumpkins this weekend. It was a blast (as always). Her ghosts fit her perfectly (goofy as heck) and my gargoyle fits myself as well (obsessive perfectionist). The Stewie one was included just for fun. It was the one I did last...

So what do you see in this picture

First, does anyone know what years the Tat J21's were released in? Were there any distinguishing characteristics between bands across releases? The reason I ask is that one of the best smokes I have had to date was a J21 (in my review here) and in hindsight I have no idea what year it was from...

Ramon Allones 8-9-8 One of these cigars was initially sent to me by a generous BOTL as a result of a forum contest I had won. Coming with a specific request to review the smoke, I happily agreed to do so after it received some rest. Long story short, the flavor of the smoke was fantastic but...

Opus X Lost City Lancero Cigar Pass hosted a memorial raffle last year whose proceeds went towards the running of the online community. Members were given the opportunity to buy tickets for the chance to win one of several boxes of premium cigars that had been donated by various shops and...

My wife and I missed the mad rush to drink the Kool-Aid that was The Sopranos television show when it first aired in 1999. Fortunately for us, a couple we are friends with partook heartily and ended up purchasing the entire twenty-eight disk box set. Borrowing it from our friends, the two of...

Summer has never been complete for me without the presence of a glowing campfire. Maybe that explains my affinity to cigars as well but I digress. Recently, the wife, in-laws and I decided to have the 2010 summer initiation of their fire pit. After getting it cleaned, lit and stabilized I...

Sometimes I think that the apocolypse would be more favorable than following this.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp10/news/story?id=5433551

Throughout each of our smoking lives, many of us set aside cigars that we label as special to be smoked on rare occasions. One such cigar that repeatedly tops many lists is the Arturo Fuente Anejo Reserva No. 77. Resembling a tooth because of its uniquely box pressed torpedo shape, this cigar is...

Sol Cubano Series B Robusto When I first began smoking, a fellow BOTL generously set me up with a large assortment of cigars including some that he deemed as daily smokers. A dozen of these were the Sol Cubano Series B’s. Being far more focused on premium smokes at the time, I stored these...

H. Upmann Magnum 46 Who has not heard of Cuban cigars? Long touted as producing the pinnacle in quality cigars, that small island has made quite a name for itself. Determined to see if they could live up to the hype, I set out on trying one of the most consistently enjoyed sticks available...

I heard about this beer and really want to check it out. It is a Flying Dog product and I have looked a few places around where I live (Hudson, WI) but come up short. Does anyone in the area (including Minneapolis) know where I could pick up a couple bottles of this? Link to Gonzo Imperial...

Ashton Aged Maduro #10 5x50 Ashton brand cigars have been touted as one of the more consistently enjoyable lines available. Being an Arturo Fuente product, that should not come as much of a surprise to anyone. As of this review, I had not tried many of the Ashton line but enjoyed my recent...

A while ago I found myself in Florida with my family enjoying unique foods, watching animals and going on some fantastic rides. Overall it was a very relaxing and rejuvenating experience. During a couple of the nights, my father and I made our way over to Sosa Cigars in Downtown Disney. The...

Not sure if anyone else has been faced with this but whenever I hit the sign-in link at the top of the page or if I am told that the site is unable to find the forum I am looking for (ie BST) and that I need to log in it jumps back to the home page again. Basically I need to click through the...

Graycliff Chateau Gran Cru PG (Robusto) After an Irish Lamb Stew that my wife and I made when visiting my parents, I decided to break out a Graycliff Chateau Gran Cru PG. To this point my only experience with Graycliff was with their Double Espresso, which I had enjoyed at the time. Outside...

I just got back from an 11pm showing of this. We went thinking it would be funny. It was not....that is really all I have. ??? :(:0

I have been doing a bit of research trying to find out what a good price for Padron Milleniums would be nowadays and with the lack of information available I have a couple of questions. 1) What would you consider a fair price on one of these? If you think there is a price difference between...

After a delicious late lunch of grilled chicken kabobs and a couple of outstanding craft brews, my loving wife and I decided to finish out our day with a couple of cigars. Her choice for the early evening, was an Ashton VSG Enchantment, while I decided on a slightly longer venture with an...
