Aleman Wrapper
I enjoy the 2 pretty much, but was looking for a little more chocolate / coco flavor.
I had issues with 5. Primarily the wrapper didnt want to stay lit. If I puffed regularly on it, I could keep it lit, but this is not how I enjoy smoking. If I smoked at a normal pace, the filler would burn quicker and essntially tunnel and go out. I also started getting a slight bitter flavor in 2nd half, so I put it down. This also had a HUGE nic kick.. well huge for me.
I am thinking the 98 Ligero is not a very good wrapper option. I have read around here, really anything can be a wrapper, so maybe it was the Binder + wrappper combo that was an unhappy mix.
I plan to try a similar mix, but only utilize maybe a 1/4 or so leaf of the 98 Ligero as part of the filler, and try a Habana 2000 wrapper on it.
If you have any input on my findings or suggestions on where I should go from there, it will be appreicated.
Any recommendations on specific leaf that is a good wrapper as well as filler?
Oh, a question.. is there a name for a half leaf? i.e. one side of the main vein. I tend to roll with 7 of them, so really 3 and a half leafs.
