Hi i am from Canada and am into cigars for about 3 years now and just found out that i am able to buy leave for my roll my own cigars. So now i am fully interested and waiting for my order sample and some other leave to arrive from whole leave so i can start this journey of making my own blends. Can someone help me on a blend that would or can imitate a cuban H.upmann mag46 or Fuente Gran Reserva Maduro churchill. Thanks for any help you Bolt can help with.

Welcome to the forum. Attempting to duplicate a specific frontmark of a specific brand is usually a futile exercise. While I can't help with the H. Upmann Magnum 46 Cuban, I'll take a shot at the Fuente.

Now, to begin with, http://arturofuente.com never says anything about specific leaf varieties. Those are trade secrets. So we go blindly into the Dominican Republic, attempting to invent a "mild-to-medium" cigar with rich aroma and a smooth and gentle maduro wrapper.

For a very dark, yet mild wrapper, I would suggest Ecuador Maduro Wrapper from WLT.
As binder, WLT's richly flavored Dominican Binder, which I believe to be Olor, would serve.
Filler could be a blend of the following:
These are truly wild guesses about Fuente's darkest secrets. But this would undoubtedly amount to a delightful, mild-to-medium Dominican cigar in a dark, tasty wrapper.

Welcome to Fair Trade Tobacco.
Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva are aged in spanish cedar which does lend to the taste. there boxes are good for that.
