BOTL Newbie Sampler Thread 2.0

[JusBlaze]

Damn! @JusBlaze may claim to be a newbie, but I don't believe it! He sent an amazing selection and certainly did his homework on what I like. I've been craving a cojonu for a while now, so you read my mind on that one. Typical Botl math and a great packing job too!

I knew I was in trouble when it didn't fit in the mailbox

Edit: couple more pics. I hit send too early.

Help me out with the unbanned one?

Lol I went to the Smallbatchcigar School for cigar packaging! They taught me everything I know!
As for the unbanded on the left side of the bag on the right, it's the Crowned Heads Paniolo Especiale (corona gorda version of the Tennessee Waltz); next to that is the Illusione MC Slam, both are courtesy of my buddy Marvin from R. Field Wine Co. in Hawaii.
Enjoy Joe!!!!!

Put me in @CaTeacher

This is a one time deal to get your feet wet and earn a trader rating. We wouldn't want to take advantage of our veteran sponsors' generosity. Feel free to set up your own trades when the right doors open for you.

 

[04EDGE40]

@CaTeacher I got my end from Dale, you can put us on the completed list.

 

[Wicket]

Got my end from Jon @BoneYard wow great hit my friend. Like I told you I get the retaliation and you just started a war. Not only do I need to send you sticks and...?... Now I need to buy roasting equipment lol. Thank you very much brother

 

[BoneYard]

No worries @Wicket , enjoy em brother. You can roast in a cast iron skillet if you want to try it out first before investing in equipment. Another way to roast is with a whirly popcorn maker ($30). Then there are pro roasters... Either way, only takes a few minutes, from what I understand the results are amazing. I got a couple pounds for myself to try out roasting as well. There are lots of youtube vids on this, but this is a good one:

Nice hits everyone.

@Wicket, @BoneYard

Just wanted to holler at you guys and give you a piece of information I picked up while researching home roasting a while back:

I was told to never roast indoors, and if you have to then do it as little as necessary. The reasoning is that the roasting releases the oils from the coffee beans during cracking and the heat will carry them to the ceiling. If you do it long enough you could end up with a dark oil stain on your ceiling that will be very difficult to remove (you'd probably have to paint over it).

I still haven't tried it, just looked into it. Anyway, just trying to save a brother some heartache!
