Trying out my new to me 60 RG mold. Next week, I try the 70rg out. 4x60 is the goal. T-13 viso and 98 criollo ligero. PA binder.

Nice rolls there! That 60 I’m still trying to work up to. Did a few awhile ago, but need to revisit at some point. How many leaves/weight did you use for filler?

 

[deluxestogie]

50 x 5" volume = 2.39 cu in
60 x 5" volume = 3.45 cu in

44% more filler

V = π (r^2) h

Well played. I applaud you sir.

2 medium leaves of criollo ligero
3-4 leaves of T-13 viso and a double PA binder. Then shorten all of that to about 4 3/4" with final cut of a 4 5x60l)o>

Rolled a short one with some scraps in just a piece of binder n smoked it. Binder probably too damp cuz it wouldnt burn worth crap but it tasted good n i got a buzz. It was only about 3 1/2" long and took close to a half hour to burn! I was just too curious to be patient.

Teeth is the standard.

A very sharp penknife will make a tidy v-cut.

A couple wrapped up on a blend I’m trying to zero in on. This blend trying to highlight the WLT Ec Los Rios wrapper and Peruvian filler. 2/10 to go!

This is 1/3 remaining blends I’ll need to narrow down, but below is:

Wrapper: EC Los Rios
Binder: Sumatra
Filler: 1x Peru Ligero
2x Dom T-13 Viso
2x Peru Seco
Filler rolled entubado method and used a 50 ring gauge mold.
