Must be tough to maintain diameter on something that long going at it freehand

Getting pretty easy after six years of working at it.

Very nice, how do you bunch them to get the foot that thick and then gradually narrow it ?

I used to make those too. What I did is trim the tip of the leaf about 2 1/2 inches down, then invert it. Also the same for the other end. It's like the Tim Tores videos where he took an amount off both ends. The difference is, take those and put more tobacco toward the part you light, and evenly place until you have a conical shape. I used to call them Trumpeto's, they resemble a bell of a trumpet.

My first attempt at rolling.
They are only 3.25" long and about 23 to 25 ring.
I used burley as a filler and maryland as a wrapper. This is just practice as I'm planning on getting a cigar leaf kit from WLT.

Wondering how many little cigars can I get from one of their kits?

Can you weigh your cigars? Each blend contains about a lb. of leaf and makes approx. 20 cigars 7” x 50 rg.

Blend info

 

[deluxestogie]

Wrapper: WLT Cameroon
Binder: Cameroon scrap
Filler:

• WLT Pelo d'Oro ligero
• WLT Peru ligero
• WLT CT Broadleaf

Surprisingly, this is a little less than what I would consider "full" strength, but just by a pinch. Both Pelo d'Oro ligero and Peru ligero (a whole leaf of each) seem to lack any hint of sweetness. And both, though delicious, present a relatively similar and narrow aroma profile. The CT Broadlead (maybe 1/6 of a giant leaf) provides a gentle complexity to that. As usual, the Cameroon (looks to me like Ecuador-grown, but is not the bronzy red currently in stock at WLT) is ever so gentle and subtle.

Great work!

Those probably weigh about 1.5 to 2 grams. He’ll tire of rolling by the time he gets through a pound at 2 grams a pop I think there’s 455 grams per pound if my memory serves me correctly. A cigarette weighs a gram but since this is pure leaf I suspect it’s considerably heavier for its size.

I see what you did there. Lol.

The wife and I took two days off and snuck off to the Texas Hill country for a little R&R. We spend most of the day in rocking chairs watching the birds and the lake, and reading books, and hiking the nature trails. I like to take a travel humidor with home rolls with me. The park we go is called Canyon of the Eagles, and while I have been going there for 15 years I've only seen an eagle once. I have seen 70 billion vultures and 4 ospreys though. There are lots of song birds to watch however, and we always enjoy our time there. It's a designated Dark Sky area and we usually bring at least one telescope there with us. Anyway, one of the cigars I brought was my Twisted Lizard blend, and it never tasted better

My first attempt at a home rolled mini. Tobacco bought from “the other guy” befor I knew better. Don’t worry, I won’t buy there again. It smoked really nice though. I used a blunt roller for bunching. I’m not good at rolling by hand yet so I figured a mini would be even harder. Not unhappy with this though.

Decent looking blunt. Toddler's Lego blocks are big. Rolling a big fat cigar is much easier than a tall thin one.

Trying out a test blend a buddy concocted that I rolled up before my move. Pairing it up with some Driftless Glen Rye.

Perfect day for an imperfecto. This is a Latakia cigar that has been aging for a few months and it is really tasty. I used Ecuador Cameroon wrapper.
