A couple of cigars

[johnlee1933]

Here are two i rolled last evening. I think these are a couple of pretty good cigars. So far they are in binder only. They weigh 6 & 7 gms respectivly and just they'll gain a little when I wrap them. Thanks to Deluxe my rolling is improving and I no longer get the uneven burning I used to get. I am now using a modified "book" bunching

John, they look good. Wait till you put that silk (conn. shade leaf) you sent me last year on them> Those bad boys are gonna look like you should speak Spanish.

There used to be three. I want to try Don's generous samples. These were pure seco with MD 609 binder.

They're very good looking! Hope to burn well also and taste wonderful!
The "book" bunching is like accordion?

Yep, Very similar but in my mind a little easier and less time consuming. The leaves really need to be reasonable flat for this technique to work.

And your gonna wrap em? I am so spoiled on rolling a single wrap. whn I mist my wrapper if the veins are to stiff I roll them to flatten and make more pliable.A pen blank is what I use.

I've used my rolling pin and it's a PITA. What are the dimensions of a pen blank? I have cherry and a lathe to make one.
