Pics of your sticks!! 2021

Yes, it should be. I'm trying to get to a similar blend as the Cain Daytona. They have a Double Toro 6x60. That is my goal in a little shorter smoke.

Hey that’s really cool, I just had a Cain 550 Maduro not too long ago, I found it sweet and spicy, good price too

@mbatini I thought that it was ebay.de so i've searched there right away. I am currently bidding in two auctions so we'll see.

Will find out if the Corojo is ready or not this week.

The Corojo was indeed ready, and I wish that dime was a silver dollar - done too soon.

Vacationing in Mexico with some home rolls!

First try and far far away ...


Imprecise taper, cap ... not capping. Even with mold it's not a straight design. Anyway I'm going on


Using the 'S' approach from @webmost. I've also seen some video where the roller does not use anything than tension to perfectly wrap this guys. But I think it's a great knowledge there in.

Practice ...

Need some @MarcL inspiration
Half Piloto wrapped and half Sumatra. Same filler. If not THAT beauty, aroma is great.

Wow, love it! I was just admiring a Black Label Nocturn Perfecto and was wondering about wrapping one and boom I see you did a nice job right here. How do they draw?

Home rolled Churchill. First cigar at the new house.

Wrapped this up with some of this years WLT sale, thank you Don and crew at WLT!

Filler is all corojo, seco viso and ligero, bound with Nicaraguan habano seco.
The wrapper is Ecuador Maduro wrapper.
Probably the prettiest cigar I've ever made! It'll be ash by the end of the day but looks nice for now...

This began as long filler scraps, wrapped in home-grown Corojo 99. The wrapper (no binder) popped. So, on top of my now popped Corojo 99 binder, I applied a leaf sent to me by @skychaser. [Thank you!] It is "Pieate Cuban" (which, according to my secret decoder ring, is actually grown from Piloto Cubano seed submitted to the FTT seed bank with the illegible label of "Pieate Cuban"). I subsequently kilned the leaf. The "Pieate" leaf morphology, size, texture and aroma are unmistakably Piloto Cubano. [I'll be planting some side-by-side with my own Piloto Cubano in 2022, for comparison. It may be Piloto Cubano from a separate area of the Caribbean--or not.]

Since this wrapper was grown at a higher latitude than my own Piloto Cubano, it is milder.

First home rolled sticks, of course band is just for fun. I really have to work on bunching the ends tighter and of course the endcap as well, still should be smokable.

 

[santisimo]

Finally... from this year's harvest I have rolled my first two cigars. They are not perfect now they must dry and I expect a great smoke.
For filler and binder i used home grown Criollo 98 leaves, for wrapper a nice leaves of Connecticut shade. All of this process from seeds to cigar rolled i learned everything from you, thanks to this generous community.

 

[Homegrowngoodnes]

Congratulations and welcome tothe club!

 

[Biglizard1]

Tonight's wrapping.. kinda like presents. And play time, with a barber pole
These are all Cuban sandwich filler. Wrappers vary with Habano 92, Ecuadorian, and the Connecticut shade for the stripes with some Habano help.

 

[deluxestogie]

Everyone should definitely click on that barber pole thumbnail (in the previous post), to see the full image. Very nice work.

Bob, thank you for the most generous compliment sir.

Vein lines are telling me something about improvement space I have


Better wrapping here, too veiny the leaf ... Cap review is also in order


One of the best performances on these Perfectos. Biggest contribution is from the inner of the glass

Nice taper with good transition taper-barrell, quite good cap, good Grappa (Barrique)

Have a great we all

It ain't pretty, but it's 100% homegrown 2021 Corojo 99. The ring gauge got away from me and grew too big for my cutter so I had to hack it down with a knife.
It wanted to smoke a little too hot as the weather outside is insanely dry, but when I paced myself the flavour was excellent. If you're planning next season's grow, believe the hype!

Those snipped-off chunks are just begging to be stuffed into a corncob.
