    I'm talking about the informal member get-togethers that happen, should be one this spring/summer in the midwest region, IIRC.

    @El_Fumador what method do you use to bunch? 
    In short, from the center. tubed ligero then estrujado.
    But mostly depending on the tobaccos used, blend and vitola.

    Are you still lurking at FTT? I haven't noticed. We miss when y'all don't stop through from time to time.. at least I do.
    Yeh, I still stick my head in from time to time.

    How long have you been doing this and what is the learning curve? I'm looking for a new serious hobby.

    Another rabbit hole, tempting.  @First_Warrior, @webmost, @El_Fumador do you spray your leaf with a mojo mix at all?

    No special mix just H20 in a spray bottle. The filler, seco,viso,and ligero has to be dry enough to fold but not dry enough to crumble. The binder leafs ( I use two) needs to be more moist and strong enough so you can bunch without bursting. The wrapper needs to be the wettest because you need to stretch it a bit.

    No. Some do and swear by it. I, on the other hand, have never finished an infused cigar. They give me the gacks.

    Get a beer, sit back, & go here:
