Dear Friends,
I'm quite new to the hobby of growing my own tobacco and rolling my own cigars, and I really appreciate if you can help me...
I grew my tobacco out of havana seeds.
I harvested, dried the leaves, fermented them... It all looked pretty well so far.
I have a nice batch of leaves ready to roll and they smell wonderful.
I tried to roll few cigars just to see how it goes, and it went well so far...
The filler was dry, the binder was moderately damp, and the wrapper was moist.
I waited 10 days for the cigars to dry and I gave it a try.
1. They don't stay lit for more than 1 min!. The tobacco won't burn. Instead of gray ash, I get black charcoal.
2. They taste awful. Bitter, bad smell, really bad.
Have any idea what the reason can be?
