Latest batch wrapped up! This cold dry air isn’t doing much help with the ambient humidity inside. With 3 humidifiers going, my wrappers tend to dry up within a few minutes, so need to work it relatively quickly. Anyways, this blend is one that my lady put together, but I made wrapper changes to see how they compare to the original wrapper (WLT Indonesian Besuki…wish this one was still available!).

All WLT tobacco. 43 ring gauge. 10 of each wrapper.

Wrappers:
-(Left) Dominican CV Corojo Oscuro
-(Center) Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro
-(Right) Dominican Criollo ‘98

Binder:
-Dominican CV PA

Fillers:
-1x Peru Ligero
-1x Dominican Rene Viso
-1x Dominican Rene Seco

Same blend (Vuelta Abajo binder, T13 and P. Cubano Viso filler) and 6 different wrappers (all WLT except some Nic Connecticut shade from @TorcidorMike) I had a box or 27 cigars with the above fillers wrapped in corojo oscuro that I left for 8 months and man they were amazing. Shared most of them at a Christmas party with a group of guys I smoke with. So seeing what they do at 46-50rg and I’ll see how patient I can be…A45680C9-0D6D-4808-8E6F-04FB5D4467D0.jpegF20723EE-9656-4B6D-B5F4-397BFAAA565C.jpeg

How do they smoke?

Bob
It varies. Some I have to continually puff on to keep lit and some smoke great. I had some tobacco that got really wet in the kiln and turned very dark. It actually seems to smoke the best with good taste and tons of smoke. This was a learning year. Hope to get better with experience growing, curing, aging and of course rolling. These first attempts were mostly with scrap short filler.

Working on a batch of 35ish cigars to fill a empty Cuban box. It’s a blend I smoked 2 of last week and thought “oh man I need a big box of these to tuck away.” Barely had enough of each tobacco and ran out of Nicaraguan Seco; hope to see that tobacco come back this year… the semi closed foot started as an accident when I chopped the doll before wrapping it, then cut the wrapper so it would slightly overlap the foot before the normal edge cut of the wrapper. Helps get the cigar lit a little easier and even too.

Looks tasty! Could I trouble you for breakdown of the percentages of each filler leaf used? Also - did you happen to use a double wrapper or double binder leaf? Thanks!
