Hello everyone,

I just got started rolling my own cigars and I wanted to share some of my pictures with you guys. I made about 20 sticks using tobacco from www.WholeLeafTobacco.com filler, binder and wrapper and my last 8 to 10 came out the best. Now I just have to let them dry out in the humidor and hopefully smoke them soon!

My blend is: 6x48

Filler:
Aged Nicraguan Ligero
Aged Dominican Seco

Binder:
Dominican

Wrapper:
Maduro

You roll each individual leaf like a scroll and then bunch them up and roll, so Entubado style. I started with the book method, they they turn out looking nice, the burn and was not that good. They tend to tunnel badly and if rolled too tight they don't smoke at all. I've since switched to this style and they do smoke better but don't look as good .. I need more practice, lots more :)

Good job, Cigarfish! They look a heck of a lot better than my first few sticks :)

Yes Entubado is the style :) Thank you for reminding me of the style!

Thank you everyone for the support! I really enjoy this forum and there is a lot of cool ideas out there! I am a bit of a perfectionist. I really enjoy the look of a cigar and the presentation of one. This definitely adds to the taste of a stick to me. So I really strive to have a nice clean and smooth roll on the wrapper. The flag and cap is a little difficult to get perfect but it is getting there.
