I have been rolling my own for about 8 months now.
In order for me to roll and smoke this is the method I use:
First off I buy my leaf online, so far I have never smelled anything other then delicious tobacco.
Moisture content is key. It needs to be dry yet pliable.
Typically, the filler tobacco comes at the right moisture for rolling, the binder and wrapper I will need to spray.
I'll take each individual leaf and spray at a 90 deg angle (not directly at the leafs) , just one side, then stack them wet side to dry side and place in plastic bag for a day or two.
I like my cigars rolled on the tight side so if the tobacco seems a little moist I will let the leafs I plan to roll sit out for half hour to an hour.
They need to bend without falling to pieces.
I roll them maybe 10 in long and then cut them in half. Maybe 4.5 to 5 inch cigars.
The shorter they are the easier the draw, especially if I smoke immediately . I'll let them sit for maybe a hour or until the wrapper looks dry.
If I don't have time to let the leafs dry before I roll, I'll roll less tightly. If I don't need to smoke them immediately I let them dry one day.
My blend is about 60% Dom Seco, 30 Nic, Seco, 10 Dom Ligero. Binder Nic Wrapper Equadorian
I roll almost every day and smoke 5-6 short cigars a day.
If I was to roll a 7 inch smoke them it would need to dry probably a week, it depends on the humidity in the room.
I have noticed in the winter they will dry a lot faster because to the dry heat in my house.
Hope this helps.
