Nah, he’s good for another 5 to 10,000 years. (Probably!)

Not the sole benefit: hell of a lot faster too over time once you get working with it down.

My First Cigar!
3 leaves Nic Seco and 1 Nic Lig and 1 Nic Seco for Binder. Im not ready for wrapper yet. Way too loose, not a good ash, but oh my, it tastes Deelish! Couldn't wait for it to dry and humidor, smoked it an hour after rolling. Cant wait for my WLT order tomorow!

Congratulations! That's good tobacco. As long as it ain't too tight, and you're the one smoking it, who cares, right.

One if my favorite molds is this Perfecto mold. It is supposed to be a 50 RG but it puts out 48 (maybe I'm pressing too hard.). Having not perfected the Perfecto, it turns out some nice torpedoes.
My goal in 2020 is to work in my rolling patience. I smoke 2 a day typically, so my rolling shows that. I often focus on production over process. As we saw some years ago in the Cuban cigar industry that can negatively impact quality. Although they still smoke ok, they aren't pretty....I try to keep a 2 week safety stock so I smoke with some age. I set aside others for longer aging.

The stories are a big part of the pleasure of wood molds for me. No doubt the plastics have stories too but there's a lot less evidence of it. And the wood molds are typically of a known provenance, i.e. factory.

True, but it's also ameliorated by the fact that I've been to some of the factories they came from, met the owners and rollers, smoked the cigars made on their younger sister molds....
Home roll number 5. 25+ mph winds this morning dictated that I not smoke a cigar on the water. Leaf is still from WLT’s Oscuro y Rico kit. No mold, no cap, a little glue. Roll times are getting shorter, sticks are getting a little more uniform. We will see how number 6 goes when it happens.
review: good draw, good burn, very complex malty slightly sweet light, hazelnut milk chocolate caramel mid, spice and caramel finish. Pretty good!
This particular leaf was a bit tough to use as a wrapper, had to be careful not to tear. But really like how it looks and tastes: nice and dark and rustic and sweet.

I love the reader's cap-toe, high-top shoes, and the beautiful, free-hand-rolled cigars. Look at how consistent the individual cigars are in that half-wheel at desk 179.
I think I may be in that photo, though I don't really remember a photographer being there:
