I'm a raw, bloody newbie. I've rolled 6 cigars, smoked one and have leaf in the tempering bag for a half dozen more. I am attempting to learn the craft in stages. First stage: entubo bunch, binder, age 7 days. Figured once I have a stick that burns well, and doesn't fall apart, I would move to molding, wrapping and capping. Is there any significant alteration to the burn characteristics when adding a wrapper? Also, I have read threads here discussing dry boxing cigars before smoking. I have my current stash in an empty wood Camacho box. Considering adding rice to improve drying characteristics. Any thoughts?
