Pics of your sticks!! 2022

[marshall9779]

A couple more that were bunched two nights ago and wrapped last night. Need to put more angle on the stick when wrapping. Following the veins but seams are really close and too many wraps for a Robusto.

they are looking pretty good from here. but i guess the true test is how well they smoke?

The second one I smoked after trying entubado bunching smoked way better than the first where I was just rolling each filler leaf inside the next. Draw was about perfect. Had to touch up a couple times after about the halfway point but was only a week after being wrapped so probably still a little damp.

Bound & wrapped up some sticks of a blend I call the “Webslinger”. It was derived from leaf that was traded with @webmost . Having fun with the bands. ;-)

Hi @FrostD looks like that you are getting better and better at capping! Nice work.

My First rolled cigar from my first crop of homegrown tobacco. I think it is ok. CT Broadleaf filler with PA res binder and wrapper.

I've been trying to post pictures, but have had very poor network connections. Here are a few 5.25x44 Coronas. Fresh in wrappers today. Pelo d'Oro seco, T-13 viso, 98 Criollo ligero, Dominican olor binder and Habano 92 wrappers

All WLT. Super smooth.

Looking good. Lucky, you got some of the last of the T13. Great stuff. Some of my best cigars had only that as a filler. Had it in my cart and wasn't quick enough! haha

I haven't seen this before, but just for fun, I've tried it a couple times, rolling perpendicular to the viens instead of horizontal. Bamboo Style. I gave one to a friend and he said he got a little spice kick at the viens. Fun.

I've been buying old, unused stock of cigar bands from the early 1900's and onward off of Ebay and Etsy and have quite the stock now. Anyways, placing them on my own home-rolls is quite fun and doubling them up on a cigar, like the limited edition Cubans I so love. Makes me about 5% more excited to grab and smoke one. I've been either writing the blends on the back, or inside the band if I want a blind taste.

I can just about guarantee that the real Uncle Willie Mississippi River cigars never looked that good.

thats a really cool idea

Wow, love it!

The first one I rolled looked good for a rookie but it weighed 30gr. and reading here found out that this is more then a double for a 5x54. The draw was almost non existent.
This is the second one. PA Red binder, filler and wrapper. Same size but it weighs 15 grams. It has some soft spots but i'm still learning.

It looks like 11 lbs of the T-13 just became available. Grab it while ya can!

Thanks @FrostD !! @koceff I've never weighed my leaf, but I can only imagine that would serve benefit to me if I did! Thanks for your post. It got my gears turning.
