I am in the process of making up some forms, in anticipation of seeds arriving and growing out and having to use them.
is there a relationship between length and width of the said cigars. I have smoked short thin ones, long fat ones etc. the forms will be 5" long and will have the extra inch for cut off etc. looking for 4-4.5" cigars could be 5 inch if that is a better ratio and I haven't settled on a width yet was thinking 3/4 in. 1/2 in seems too thin although I do like a villager short in a 4" 1/2 dia.
Some help please. I'm looking for ease of rolling and burning quality, I have made cigar type things in the past and they looked lopsided but smoked ok. These were done with ciggy types and lacked the flavour you would associate with a naught cigar. I often smoke Romeo Juliet's a 6" x 3/4 and find them to be an acceptable width. Years ago a mate came back from a tour in Cambodia and gave me a few, I mean a lot of Colombians. No quarantine or declaration on UN troops. These were 10 inches long and near a full inch wide. I never kept a label. They were some of the best I ever had, smoked them for 5 plus years on special occasions and sometimes just for the hell of it. A very smooth lower nico smoke, I would smoke one over a day or so.
thanks.
