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.

I'm sure you can find someone who will get them in and take care of you....
Correct. It looks like they sold out of one size. I placed an order yesterday for a 5er of the CG size.
I found out when I went to order that size. Oh well. .. second choice.
I tried to warn retailers to please not PRESELL at the IPCPR and then again about 2 months ago knowing that no account was going to receive their entire initial order - everyone received a partial shipment and will be receiving more each month until their initial order is satisfied. About a month ago we transmitted to each retailer how many boxes each month they would be receiving so they could plan accordingly.
That being said, I can understand how they may have missed my warnings and ultimately it is my responsibility to get every retailer their order. The problem is there are only so many boxes and I am not going to rush production possibly sacrificing quality or to run out of ready to use leaf just to collect more money in the short term. That isn't saying we won't run out of ready leaf at some point, but I know the numbers, I know what is ready, I know what should be ready when so I am planning accordingly...
My biggest problem right now isn't the retailers who are accounts, but the ones that now wish to be accounts... there are regretfully a LOT of great retailers we simply do not have the capacity to open yet. :<

Mine shipped today. Picked up the Cervantes Fino and Robusto Larga and I'm pretty excited to try these. @ssaka, I like that you disclosed the blend info. I obviously don't know how each leaf affects the flavor profile but that type disclosure is way better than the generic country of origin stats.
I ordered my CG Sobremesa from Emerson's Thanks as always @Craig Mac
I'm a fan of Senor Saka, so I'd be thrilled if I could find these within my budget. But alas, it is the holiday season, and I'm as tapped as a keg at a frat house.

Heard that. In my house, we have five birthdays in November, one in December, and then Christmas with five kids.
Sounds like my house except 2 birthdays in December, one in January and 5 kids. Brutal on the budget
Just bought my first corona yesterday. I'm waiting till I have a fresh pallet to try it. I can't wait! I've been waiting on this one since the ipcpr video! I told my shop to try to get them in but we waited too long.
