    If only life were that easy, here in the land of the regulated and the home of the circumspect.

    Love that mold Marc. Where'd you get it?

    Would that be a trumpet figurado? I know normally figurados have shaped caps but the fact that it’s 46/60 makes me think to call it that.

    @El_Fumador have you tried your hand at any of the Hemingway preferido shapes? Those, torpedos, and Salomons (smaller ones not the biggies) have always been my fav. 

    Edit: Do you sell yours at all? Always a fan at trying some home made ones and yours are real gems to behold. Rodger’s ( @First_Warrior) are fantastic, but I can’t say I’ve tried @Webmost ones but everyone who has has continuously said how great they are.

    Sounds real easy if you say it fast. But then you got the FDA, the ATF, the blah de blah blah. Not to mention state stuff. Marc's Merryland, for instance, wants 52.75% tax to sell a gar. Now you got to get a license so you can pay the tax.

    Munnymunnymunnymunnymunny. 

    Better off with a PM offering a swap, I'd spose.

    T-13 is a new Dominican tobacco, combining Creole 98 with Cuban Piloto. They've been at this grafting project for 13 years, hence the "13".  You have five small leaves of T-13 viso, one regular sized leaf of Brazilian Piloto, bound in Honduran Habano seco, and wrapped with Dominican Rosado. Aged since May of this year.

    The next one down is named Bliss, after the roller who inspired the blend. Hence the band is, shall we say, a harem scene. We're talking two leaves of Criollo ligero from the Cibao valley, one of Vuelta Abajo seco from the same valley, bound in Dominican Olor ("olor" translates as "aroma"), wrapped in Brazilian Mata Fina. Aged since March.

    The next and penultimate are banded with a picture of Vuelta Abajo, roughly translated "lowland stroll" I spose, Two leaves of seco grown in the valley pictured, one of Mata Fina from Brazil, bound with the aforementioned Dominican Olor, wrapped with Criollo 98. These were rolled last January. They seemed damp when rolled, so the result may have seasoned tight.

    The antepenultimate and ultimate are parejos rolled in December 2016 named Oloroso ("aromatic"). You have two Corojo seco, probably from the DR, bound in Dominican Olor seco, wrapped in a Habano 2000 which does not burn well.  Wish I could get good Habano 2000 wrap; but no such for years.


    Enjoy.
