Anyone know what they use for a filler.
Trying my second batch, I don't think they use a binder?
I know the what the wrapper is.

I read they use ct shade in a ctbl binder, no wrapper. I think I read that on a pack though so take it for what its worth.

I'm pretty sure they have some sort of burley in them, because as a Cigar guy I taste something different like a slight sour. Burleys seem to have a slight sour as well.

im guessing the blend probably changes ...its short filler and probably a good bit of floor sweepings. Who makes them and what is their main cigar product?

All the main tobacco categories have their own flavor, and I can detect different types sometimes like ctbl within categories by their flavor. Maybe sacrifice one and taste individual scraps from the filler and the binder. Ctbl only tastes like ctbl. burley, dark air. Should be able to narrow down the blend just by tasting the individual components.

I would need a new set of taste buds, and with the flavoring I don't think I could tell the difference.
I will pick up a pack of origional that has no flavoring and give it a try.
I like to smoke them in my office since they are mild and don't stink it out like a cigar does including ciggs.
Customers do seem to mind them like a cigar or cigg smoke.
I do catch a hint of burley but it can't be much.
What is mild like a flu cured.

Well got some Conn. shade from Don and spun up a bunch with different fillers.
Picked up some liqueur, rum and brandy.
I will give them a few weeks at least.

image.jpgStill at it. The Kulhua went to mold growing up or down to the cigar.



The glue I used is Dpns and it don't work in a humid drunking environment.
They unroll over time I guess they need packed together.
Gonna smoke a blackberry and a samboca tomorrow.
