Don't have a better name for these quickies, so I'll go ahead and call them puckwudgies, like Lew and AZD suggested.
Last night, I rolled one of these quickies out of two big leaves habano seco with half a small leaf piloto seco for sweetness, habano binder, habano wrapper. Holy crappanoly! What a great cigar! I put that nub fork FirstWarrior gave me to good use on that stick, I can tell you. Burnt my stache.
Only thing: These puckwudgies are rolled from baccy right straight out of Don's bag, with no dampening or pre-prep at all. I never have troubles binding or wrapping with habano when making perfectos with a mold. When I do that, I dampen the leaf and lay it on a wet board. But when I use habano 2000 wrapper straight from Don's bag, the stuff is so delicate that it busts open when I get to rolling it smooth on the board. So this one, I used Dom binder to firm it up. Then I was careful not to roll it afterwards under the chavetta. Still had probs trying to keep the habano intact. This afternoon, when I get back from handball, I'll see what it tastes like. I'd try that corojo wrapper, cause that's so strong it's perfect for a puckwudgie. But the flavor would screw with my habano thing, I think.
Is there a stronger habano straight from the bag that I could use to clothe my hab-puck?
