Pics of your Sticks II

[BarG]

Damn, first attempt. Someone did there homework. I rolled 2 yesterday morning in 10 minutes for my road trip and they aint that pretty , but they smoked well.

 

[LewZephyr]

Well, here's my first attempt at rolling.......the rest not quite as good.

Those are all VERY respectable. What blend did you run with on them?

 

[webmost]

Yeah, I don't believe a word of it. Your neighbor from Cuba with thirty years' experience rolled these for you; didn't she? Fess up. No one can be that good right out of the gate.

... unless, that is, they are GIFTED WITH GOLDEN HANDS!

Ah, me. Why wasn't I gifted with golden hands like yours?

 

[BarG]

LOL! Watch out, you never know. We may have a gifted roller here!
If only he could do it on a womans thigh I would be super impressed.

 

[LewZephyr]

Ah, me. Why wasn't I gifted with golden hands like yours?

Cuz you haven't made a deal with the robot devil....

They look great Mac for the first batch. Keep rolling.

Habana 2000 wrapper
Dominican cigar binder
Nicaragua Habano Seco
Criollo 98 Viso

Thanks all for the motivational words. I rolled 5 each day now, and I think I'm getting the knack of this. I'll post some more pics later. Made a mold last night, those are looking pretty good.

A new "tabletop" version? I like it, well done.

Nice job Big. Do your rollers apply the wrapper also?

 

[BigBonner]

The one in the picture was wrapped with one leaf . It rolls the cigar several rounds before dropping off the finished end .

I need to play with this roller more to see how well it works . One thing about it is it rolls really tight . I need to learn to add less filler . Mat size would have to be change to different size mats . It is a one piece mat with no adjustment but changing to a different mat longer or shorter would create different size cigars . It would take about one minute to change a mat to a different size . Easily done .
When rolling with bunch machines the top roller needs to be high enough off the roller plate so it does not contact the binder or wrapper .

This one is so light that it would need to be clamped to a work table or screwed down to one . It can be used without but you would have to hold the machine some when rolling .

I made the Chaveta out of flat steel , it is sharp but I need to sharpen it a little more .

Thats a neat roller. Judging by the size of the cigar, it looks close to what I get from my blunt roller. The big difference would be that your machine works with the whole bunch at once, whereas the blunt roller has to be filled a few leaves at a time -- stuff, roll, stuff, roll... I just do a binder with no wrapper on them.

 

[Knucklehead]

What's the diameter of the cigar in the picture? I kind of like the smaller ring gauges.

 

[BigBonner]

Whole bunch at a time and scraps to .

With a tape measure and going straight across it is 7/16 " wide by 6 and 1/8 " long
I am sure someone can change it to ring gauge .

 

[Raodwarior]

Its a 28 ring gauge for those who wondered

Nice! A table top version! That is a huge keyboard? No wait. A DIY Vintage Brown & Williamson Cigarette Roller. More niceess!

.. Mat size would have to be changed . It is a one piece mat with no adjustment but changing to a different mat ...

What about an adjustable mat?

I made the Chaveta out of flat steel ,..

You are a DIY master.
