Looking good Roland !
I found out that rolling a small amount of cigars every few days helps a lot.
So you got time to think it over and watching againe some rolling videos.

Well, I'm still not ready for prime time. I rolled about seven sticks Sunday with the Maduro azacado blend. I think I got greedy with the larger ring of about 58 and varied between 5" to 6.5". Most of the blend I went with in some variations went 2 leaf dom binder 1 Liga nic, 1 flojo, double oscurro wrapper and the wrapper that came with the blend.
What a power house, whew! About two inches down I had to set it down. Will definitely adjust. The ones I rolled in succession were tamed as I went along so hopefully the next ones won't blow my head off.

The draw was about how I like it, on the verge of tight. Hopefully they will become more pretty as I advance (can't get much worse). I have a new found respect for the pros now, even more so than before.

Just curious, what bunching method are you using?

Entubado. Does it ilook off? Really like your videos and have helped a lot.

Thanks Joe I hope they help.

The reason I asked was that it looked tight or over stuffed and then you mentioned it was a tad tight. These are things you have to play with to determine where you want to be. Entubado is the way to go.

Keep up the good work. They'll get better and better.

Nice touch with the two-tone paint job :)
Now I know what I'm going to do with future shade wrapper scraps :)

Here are my latest babies:

Those are Cameroon and Ecuador shade wrappers. Innards were various permutations of a blend that gdaddy particularly liked: Aleman binder, criollo ligero, and piloto cubano seco.
