Pics of your sticks!! 2022

[spodguy3]

Definitely been getting in some sleep and good food! Looking forward to breaking out the grill here this week! Since I ruptured my Achilles’ tendon at the end of November, I’ve been working from my home office. This will soon change within the next month or so. I like to use the beginning & end of my days to unwind by binding or wrapping up some sticks. I’m thankful that my lady hasn’t gone crazy yet! Lol. Also, just ordered some seeds… may have a grow blog soon… fingers crossed.

Keep us updated on how the grow goes! I'm thinking of ordering transplants here soon. I'm worried I might be too late in the year though. I would be growing them in big pots but it's already mid-april

Do feel free to start a grow log in our Grow Blogs forum, to discuss tobacco growing.

Those sticks look great! Whats your thought on the Habano 2000? How does it compare to Habano Maduro? I have been smoking more of the Habano 92 and have been finding it quite "raw" and really overtakes the blends. I was thinking of trying the Habano 2000 next.

Thanks bud! Always a work in progress! Both the Habano 2000 and Maduro are excellent wrappers in pliability & strength (once properly cased up). They have a good amount of give and are forgiving if you would need to “rewrap”. In terms of flavor, both are good. In my opinion, Habano 2000 adds a slight amount of spice to a blend. Maduro adds more of a sweet and smooth chocolate flavor. Both are not overpowering with their additions to a blend. Burn ability I would slightly lean towards the Maduro being just ever so slightly better.

I haven’t tried the Hab. ‘92 wrapper yet myself. I do have it jotted down in a few blends. Just need to get to them. Lol.

Prepped up some Brazil CT 2012 wrapper. This batch was a little rough, but could get around most problematic areas. Practice, practice, practice! Quick 6!

6 more of the Brazil CT 2012. Lighting is off or the wrappers are still not dry enough… perhaps both. They do look much better the following day for sure. Love the Brazil CT leaf!

WLT Sumatra Binder/wrapper

 

[MadFarmer]

Homegrown Corojo 99 puro. Rolled it as a gift, freehand, paper mold. Couldn't get the head rounded like I wanted so it stayed open. Hopefully the guy I gave it to doesn't stick the foot in his mouth.

Felt a little loose and when it wouldn't light I thought it may need some curing

Just got the habano oscuro wrapper today, had to roll one up for a tester. Hope it tastes as good as it looks

It's taken me fully two days of staring at your photo to understand that there's no cigar inside there. Doh!

Looks great, did you try it yet?

I did. Unfortunately this wrapper might be beyond my skill level tho. After that first one I haven't been able get any of the wrappers to stretch properly without tearing.

Have you smoked it yet? I’m dying to know what it’s like . That first roll looked great though.
