New Roller

[supdog]

Hello, a lot has happened since http://fairtradetobacco.com/threads/5674-Cigar-Roller-Wanna-Be
I have purchased three of Don's kits (azucarodo oscuro, melodioso cremosa and, oscuro y rico) and a mold from ebay. I lucked out on the mold, wasn't sure of the exact size, only that it was in very good condition. Turns out to be a 4 1/2" x 44 rg perfecto. Petit coronas are one of my favorite sizes. I have rolled 18 cigars so far ( 3azucarodo, 3 melodiosos, 6 ricos and 6 Dom puros). I just finished smoking my first cigar of the bunch, it was a melodioso and was fantastic! I let it rest for 2 weeks. Can't wait to smoke the others to compare flavors since I know exactly what tobaccos went into them. I do have a question about 2 of the fillers I received. What is the difference, flavor-wise, between Nicaraguan ligero and Nicaraguan Habano ligero.

Here is the mold I purchased http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Cig...723494?hash=item1c5eedbee6:g:SnEAAOSwhkRWgq81

What is the difference, flavor-wise, between Nicaraguan ligero and Nicaraguan Habano ligero.

With the Nic Hab Ligero, you know the country, the seed, and how high it grew on the stalk. With Nic Ligero, you don't know the seed. So with Nic Hab Ligero, you can predict it will have that solid habano earth and chocolate, as well as a bit of pepper and a nicotine zing because it was plucked near the top. But with the other, you're at a loss to say, other than some strength because it was at the top.
