A stick from my TLOTR series. These were not capped, but rather I wrap the shoulder with a contrasting reinforcement band.

Binding session over the last few days. 4 different Nicaraguan blends. 10 of each blend. + 18 “scrap sticks” from left over leaf of each blend. Since I have 1x 50 ring gauge mold and it fills up fast, I let them sit overnight or an extra day. Then take em out. Wrap with paper strips, label the strip, so when the wrappers that started prepping last night, I’ll know what is what.

Some wrapped up this morning and some this evening. 4x on left are paper strip molded. 10 on right are from a 50 ring gauge mold.

Soft box press (As in, book press, two magazines on each side that were slightly shorter than the doll, with many books stacked on top for a day or so. It was a very pleasant smoke! Vintage band from eBay.

Ha ha ha! Home rolls stashed away or commercially bought? Either way, I’ll just say, not going to run out anytime soon. Being able to roll more than smoke at the moment, stacks them up pretty quickly!

Bound these up today. Blend batch #1 of 2. Attempts to get close to the Davidoff “The Late Hour”… I know, I know, it won’t be the same. Fingers crossed it’s smokable! Lol.

 

[deluxestogie]

it won’t be the same.

Just put $20 into your piggy bank for each one you smoke.

I know right! Love that aspect!

I know for a fact it’s not going to taste the same. Fingers are crossed that the leaf used come out with a tasty stick, no burn issues, and doesn’t get plugged up.

10x actual blend in mold +2 in paper strip mold

Last batch I rolled out of my 52rg plastic mold. switching over to wooden molds, I just like the 'feel' of the them better.

Smoked pretty shortly after rolling, last of my CV Corojo Oscuro wrapper, and samples of Rene Seco and Nic Viso that came in my last order, great little blend!
