I lost thousands on my house last month. It cont. w a grand of repairs on my car last week. And now this week my wives car needed about 1500 in repairs. Its 4 years old with 65k miles. To say I've had a bad run of late is a understatement. But why do we have Botl? Well here is a wonderful example!
I just got a notice from Matt (Cyrann) that I won Brooks Xmas contest and won my choice out of his humi. My choice ........... A Cohiba Grand Reserva!
Brooksie you have no clue how much this has turned around my week. A chance of a lifetime to try a very unique, 1 of a kind cigar. This truly is just 1 of the many reasons why we have Botl! Connecting botl and sotl to share the share!
I'm truly grateful in advance,:drool:

Justin first off you should have bought American. But I love this place because of the people I have met. I went to the Burning Leaf last Friday and was welcomed with open arms. They took care of us and my wife and I got to sit and meet over a dozen brothers and smoke with them for 12 hours. I had a even bigger surprise when Eric flew in from Houston and I got to spend some time talking to him as well. BOTL is great as you will form friendships that will last a lifetime with people you may never meet. This place is great. Justin thanks for telling us about this place in Mexico. And again would not have problems if you bought American cars.

Justin congrats on the win, and thank you brooks for doing it.

This place is just the best isn't it?

I know things will turn around for you brother. If there is anything I can do just holler, you can have any cigar in my humidor as well anytime..... Though not extensive as brooks! ;)

Sorry to hear that it has been rough the past month or so, Justin. Congrats on winning Brooks' contest! Enjoy that smoke, and most of all, enjoy the holiday with your family.

Hey Brotha,

Just wanted to share with you something that I do when things are going haywire. I start focusing on, and talking about how things are getting better and give myself a little "action plan" as to what I can do to make things improve.... Next thing you know, a couple of months down the road, i get exactly what i started talking about and things have always gotten better!

Hope that helps!

An early holiday toast to one of the brothers that make this place what it is.

A premium cigar and a cold Natty light are there for you anytime!

Congrats on the contest win Justin. It's nice to have a little pick me up when things are going rough. I'm sure things will turn around for the better real soon. Sharing the share is great but sharing the friendships we have here is the icing on the cake!
Best wishes
