@webmost what do you consider when making a blend? Do pick a certain tobacco to stand out and blend around that?
I have been able to make a couple „ok“ nicotine bombs but I have aged them Frank style. I also have a limited stock, my next purchases will be some Nicaraguan, Cameroon, and Brazilian leaf.
Been looking into doing some myself. I have a 5 3/4 x 42 and a 6x46 mold on the way. Been looking at a few different places to buy leaf. Any suggestions @deadman ?

Looks good enough to smoke, what's the blend?
Thanks Chris, I’m trying lol. The filler is a combination of Nicaraguan grown San Andreas viso, Brazilian Cubra viso, and Sumatran seco, with a true Cameroon binder, and finished off with a Honduran Corojo oscuro wrapper. 5 3/4 x 42

Got a small 5x48 mold. Looking to make a full size mold or two. Made a Lieberman setup. Couple of the newest attempts

There's Whole Leaf and Leaf Only, I've tried Whole Leaf when I picked up some Perique for pipe tobacco but they have cigar leaf there too.
I’ve been checking out both of those. Just haven’t made my mind up yet.
I use both of those. There’s also Total Leaf Supply. I usually have my order the next day with them.
Leaf only sells by 1/4 lb so you can sample but unless you pay extra for expedited processing then it takes two weeks to receive your order.
Whole Leaf takes usually a week for delivery. They also have a forum that Webmost would post on.
@Rdp77 Hey Rusty, Leaf Only is doing a Black Friday sale. 15% off sitewide for the next 4 days.
Thanks Nick!!
Must be lower on cigars than I thought. Rolling his own
My favorite cigar list here
Made my first mold. 5 1/2 x 48
Got my jig setup in a comfortable position for the top as you can see by the reduced burning
What did you make it out of? Oak?
Yes, there’s a certain wood used for molds but I couldn’t source it locally. I figured oak would do for a test run.
I’ve been considering making a couple. I figured oak or maple would work best. Let us know how it does.
First one out of the mold…
