Nicaragua Jalapa Rosado Wrapper, 1lb.
Grown and Air cured in Nicaragua, this wrapper is cured in the Dominican for over one year. The Rosado wrapper has an exceptional flavor that is not heavy handed. It will enhance the binder and filler…

A personal record for the week of wrapped up sticks. Few blends. Stick total 95 for the week. I do have to say that 95 in a week is pretty intense with just starting rolling last November. The knowledge gained during the week on how long to keep certain wrappers in certain “case” and for how long, etc. and playing around with using old board to help press leaf down to lessen the veins was very beneficial! Out of all of these wrapped cigars, I do have to give a special shout out for this particular wrapper on some in the pics:

-This wrapper just performed perfectly on all aspects, once properly “cased”. The aroma, pliability, medium strength (imho), and stretch was exactly what I hoped for once I STARTED rolling up cigars. Definitely a wrapper I will want to keep on hand. As far as flavors and such, first time for me using this wrapper, will provide those updates in a couple months once the chill time is done.
Ecuador Cameroon Wrapper
Beautiful red/brown, velvety smooth leaf 22" x 14". This Is a very good quality wrapper…

That's a pile of nice looking cigars. Congrats! Now, you just need to locate some Spanish language newspaper for wrapping those bundles.

Excellent question. Some of the back row… I know it doesn’t help. Let me see if I can pull them out of the bundle easy and take a pic for ya.
Cameroon, like Florida Sumatra and Ecuador Sumatra, is derived from Indonesian Sumatra Deli leaf. Each of these derivatives has its own unique properties, but all, including the original Deli, produce very toothy leaf--that really shows on the surface of the ash.

Bob! I can’t zoom in! From the view looks fantastic! Let’s see some finer details!

That’s got some teeth for sure! Looks like a tasty one. Hopefully memorable!Here is one of my own images from 2012:

That was many thousands of cigars ago. Back in 2012, my image file names didn't always reflect the variety that I photographed. But the file name did contain "tooth", so I was able to find it.
Now, every photo is saved to my computer with a comprehensive file name that includes category, date, original image number (for finding it again on the camera's SD card), a description, and the size at 72dpi in pixels width. Certain images, such as those for blend labels and possibly for inclusion in a book, are also saved at 300dpi, noting the actual size in inches.

The more you take photos, the more you'll have, and the more important it becomes to you for them to be named in a meaningful and searchable way. Just my tobacco photos go back to 2010, and there are many thousands of them. (Compare a huge carton of family photo prints to a stack of neatly sequenced photo albums.)

Nice looking sticks.
