    Cigarsonist ... You're driving up to Muletown, aren't you?  Bama ain't that far. Throw some leaf in the trunk. Maybe we can sit down somewheres for an hour or so and have a how to session. I'm hoping the weather tones down a bit. That's a long damn murdersickle ride for as cold as it's been here lately. I don't mind a cold ride; but 900 miles may be too much of a good thing; & I don't see the point in going if I can't ride a murdersickle there. Nevertheless, I can pack up a few leaves and such in the panniers. I even have a spare mold I can lay on you. I think Rodger passed it to me. Might be all you need is a kick start to get hooked on rolling.


    I’ll be there brother. And I’d love that. I obviously need it hahaha. I’m probably just going to be there Saturday and drive back that night. Like I said, I’m not giving up on it. Gotta start somewhere

    I'll bring what I can fit in the saddlebags.

    I think I’m making some real progress here in the rolling aspect. The Connecticut on the bottom has the hand feel of a real cigar. Very tight with just a little give to it. Still have to figure out caps but for the time being I’m happy with how I’m progressing

    Mostly estrujado.
    Sometimes estrujado using entubado with the ligero in the center.
    Sometimes entubado.
    Medium filler sticks get utilized with long fillers.

    El Fumador, thanks for the reply. As you see from my post above  I use mostly entubado but I'm going to learn estrujado.

    Habano wrapper cut and ready to wrap. I will use the part in the center to wrap and the inner leaf on the right for a binder. I wrap on stone as the leaf will stick to the stone.  The photo is burning one of my sticks.
