That's gettin it done. that all sounds good ... me 2, I'm above 38 myself. i remember these RYJ Habano cigarillos were nice for a really quick blast though.

I use a plung rod. it sends a small hole the length of the turd, only a small hole at the end.When I clip the end,it has to much draw for Me.

We live and learn brother! Look at it this way, You're alive if you can still make mistakes.

I got the Cigar Mold from E-Bay today (not what I expected) it is a 32 ring size a half inch stogie is a bit thin for my taste. But just right for the Tuck Cutter I got the other day these must have been a pair.
I was in the middle of making another Tuck Cutter (but refined) when the mold came. Upon seeing the size I had an OOOPs moment than took a ride to buy a 5/8 bull nose router bit (I don't want dainty stogies)
while getting this bit I got a 5/8 square channel bit as well.
I spent the rest of the day opening up the channels in the bottom half of my oops mold (what a B) i would prefer to make it from scratch, I got one channel on the top half done than fitted the two halfs
to check for round and alignment it looks like I'm going to get away with it. I'll finish it up tomorrow had enough for one day, on the bright side I now have the bits to copy this mold but in a ring 40 (5/8th)
I like a 40 - 42 size.

The top half had a nice warp in it too. This was wasted money in my book... I've yet to try using it. I made a new one over the last two days and am looking into making a pro style out of plastic that can be repeated to make identical molds.

That sounds like the go Brent. ..still no luck on sourcing a original plastic mold?? Where are they hiding them all..you must have to be a big label cigar company to be on the special buyers list.hahaaa

 

[AmaxB]

Yep I have looked all over the net, they are made in PA but stopped selling to the general public about 2 years ago. The plastic is a little way down the pike, I was testing the one I had just made today and it is working out pretty well.
The idea is to reduce the seam line when a cigar is pressed, make using it easy, as well as last a long time. Think I got it I will be making another one next week and will post information on it and will have them for sale..

One I tried today Red Tip filler, broad leaf binder, and Ecuador Maduro wrapper. Liked it a lot...

Why not try to make one out of glazed fired clay?

 

[Boboro]

Don't send it to china for production.

They will find a way to make them with melamine.

 

[DGBAMA]

They will find a way to make them with melamine.

Or a lead based glaze.

 

[Southern Planter]

That would be fairly harmless, the lead is chemically bound when in a glaze.

 

[Boboro]

An it makes flashy colors. But its likey to blow up. Still pissed about the hookah bowl.

 

[Southern Planter]

Broke the Bowl?

 

[Boboro]

Blew up! Lucky I woodnt tqurkin on it!

 

[jekylnz]
