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.

Thanks, guys. This looks like a really cool cigar forum. Joisey and Schnectady! Alright! I grew up in Hartford, CT. Now living in Cali. I'm new to cigars. Just bought me first humidor last week. Had never even seen one before taking it out of the box. I quit smoking cigarettes two years ago after a 20-year habit. Ugghhh! But I lit up a cigar on New Years Eve this year, Coronado by La Flor, and just loved the taste and the relaxation of it. I decided to order a sampler and got the Ashton Sungrown sampler and that was it: I was hooked. I started off probably like most newbs, ordered a bunch of brand name stuff from Altadis and General cigar, but now I am enjoying stuff from well-known rollers: Jose "Pepin" Garcia, Jaime Garcia, Pete Johnson, Casa Fernandez. I guess for the time being I prefer Nicaraguan cigars, but do enjoy popular brands from the Dominican Republic. I recently bought a sampler of Sosa's and have really liked those. But I'm still learning.

Sorry, bdc30. Figured that out by reading guidelines after writing post. When I saw it was gone, I figured I screwed up. Thanks for the gentle chiding! LOL! BTW, this forum rocks. Already been extremely helpful with my newbie questions, worries, and concerns. Thanks again, bro. Peace.
Oh yeah. Thanks to all you guys out there for the warm round of welcomes from all over this great country of ours!!! Cigar smokers unite!
