RIP @El_Fumador (MarcL on several forums)

Really bummed to read that MarcL recently passed. He passed away a few weeks ago following complications from heart surgery.

He was very active on many cigar/tobacco/home-rolling forums. On BOTL, he posted frequently, sharing good eBay finds of cigar rolling gear and was an avid home roller who shared a lot of knowledge and wisdom with people. I always enjoyed his contributions and his own cigars looked beautiful. RIP brother. My next smoke will be lit in remembrance of @El_Fumador

Link with a good picture of him.

    ... a superb torcedorito, and the best gar photog ever

    a prolific roller

    who rolled all kinds of shapes

    master of the torpedo

    Each and every time I posted a carefully composed pic of my very best carefully culled roll, count on it, fifteen minutes later, MarcL would post a pic that made me look like a fumbling wannabe.

    I always wondered why he did post more here, you could tell he had a lot of tobacco knowledge.

    Damn it not another brother. One other thing I also loved about him was all the cool cigar boxes used to find to stash his fresh rolls in. The pyramid was my favorite.
