  • 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.

Greetings from the burbs of Chicago,

Fairly new to smoking cigars (6 months); have been sampling from my Dad's stash for years but have recently acquired a real love and passion for a good stick. I am overwhelmed by the plethora of information out there as well as what seems like such a tight-knit group of cigar enthusiasts. My wife and friends just don't understand the recent obsession; glad I found a forum to share the cigar love with.

I was thinking about this recently, and I thought up a good analogy: when it comes to mechanics there are three types of people: the people that take their car to get the oil changed and wiper fluid put in, the people that do the basics (change oil, fluids, brake pads, rotate tire, etc.), and people who love mechanics and know everything there is to know about vehicles.
Cigars are the same way; some people have no interest in cigars, some enjoy the occasional cigar, and enthusiasts like us like to know everything there is to know about cigars!

Maybe that would help explain it to 'em.

Great question. It all started with about a dozen Romeo y Julieta Tubos that I bought for my wedding. After getting back from the honeymoon I decided to stop by my local B&M who suggested I try a CAO La Traviata. After smoking that amazing stick I was officially hooked. I have since tried to sample as much as I can such as ('CAO: MX2, La Traviata Maduro, Italia'; 'Oliva V, O, Connecticut Reserve' 'Cain Maduro, Habano, F').

I guess I am hooked on that never ending quest to find the perfect smoke!

Currently looking for any suggestions on sticks every beginner should try??
