I`m trying to replicate my two favorite commercial cigars- Romeo Y Julieta (short Robusto) and La Aurora Principes. Both spicy tasting cigars.
Rolled a few cigars the other evening
30%- Vuelta abajo- Ligero
30%- Con B Leaf- Viso
30%- Pen B Leaf- seco
Long Red- Binder
Little Dutch- Wrapper
weighed the tobacco to make a 8 gram corona. Tobacco resting since March after 5 weeks fermentation in airtight bags, lower case.
They were very nice, close, but no cigar. Sweet with a leathery woody taste.
I wrapped a few in Conn Broadleaf wrapper, Black st Mammoth and Comstock Spanish.
Smoked a Com Spanish wrapper last night, man that's close, don`t think I`ll get closer. Nice creamy, leathery, woody and slight spicy taste. I am so chuffed with myself, will definitely roll a lot of that blend.
Sorry I carry on a bit, but for me that is one hell of a nice cigar I produced, better than most of the commercial cigars Iv`e smoked.
