    Welcome!

    Did you feel alright after your first stogie being a opus? I think that would have placed me firmly on my @ss

    Lol I was on a royal carribean cruise and had one in their lounge after gambling.......and well....could not finish it I remember my head swirling haha waited a bit and took a walk around the deck haha! Of course the lady who sold it thought it was funny when I took the match and tried to light without puffing..... And the middle burned out without burning the edges....good times

    Hey Crusader.. Nice to have you with us. Nothing like starting at the top when you try a cigar. Kind of a strong place to begin, but Hey, it got you interested. Enjoy your time here.

    LoL, I've been smoking cigars now for little over a year, and I couldn't even finish an Opus, lol! At least you didn't hurl.

    Well hiya crusader!! as you may or may not have notice, this unique bunch of cigars we call BsOTL, is a mix of fillers and binders like you can't even believe. We have big ones and small ones, tall ones and wide. Smart ones and crazy ones, of all shapes and size!! watch out for "dew n' vodka" nights, that's when the sane posts begin to blur...
