BOTLs, I find myself always going back to my phone or camera and looking back at some pictures I take of cigars while I am smoking them. I particularly like the fact that for some reason, all the pictures I have taken have been of me holding the cigars as opposed to them being on an ashtray. ...

Hello brothers, I am trying to organize a herf to be held in Austin, TX. sometime in the near future. I have had a few people show some interest. I need to get the dates narrowed down. I checked with a few people and it looks like April 10th would work with some and earlier dates for...

FactoredReality and I were talking in chat and he brought up the idea of an online herf. We decided to gauge the interest and see if we could get something going. I searched and found one previous online herf back in like 2005. So... Anyone interested in doing this?

/sigh I've been forced, sadly, to partake in the evil empire that I have resisted for the last five years. I just placed a bid on the eternal suffering of hoping my bids win. I do this for 2 reasons... 1. I finally have a room of my own to smoke in and decorate how I wish..aka, MAN CAVE. ...

Ok I'm going to watch the British Open this upcoming year at St. Andrews in Scotland. Maybe someone here has been or lives there or in the UK and knows what I would expect to pay for a decent pipe to mark the occation. I have started smoking pipes this winter so I bought a few nice pipes and I'd...

I was in chat the other day discussing with a couple other BOTL's about a cigar I was curious about pulling the trigger on. Neither had heard of the cigar, but when I provided the website of the cigar, one member made the comment that the cigar was made by AJ Fernandez. How does one go about...

Anyone going to the Big Smoke Vegas this year? If so, we should meet up while we're not smoking cigars and smoke some MORE cigars :smiley20:

Cigar Rights of America I'm a natural skeptic who doesn't take well to being blindly led. Until today, I would not affiliate with CRA because they would not answer "what exactly do you do?" to my satisfaction. Today, Glynn Loope, Executive Director of CRA answered me most satisfactorily. I...

I was doing some research (and daydreaming) on having your own private smoking room at home in case anyone's better half (like mine) will not allow you to smoke indoors. I found this awesome project and wanted to share. Enjoy! (be sure to click on the video tour link at the bottom right of the...
