Jaun they look great for your first dozen.
Enjoy
Enjoy
I'm just so damn happy I gotta brag on this quickie. Just wish I knew how to take a better picture:
What pleases me is the utterly speedy stark simplicity of it:
I have the Liz Carmouche / Rhonda Rousey fight on DVR. Stuck that on ready to go. Laid my leaves out. Two San V seco, one Habano Seco, half a Dom binder, half a Corojo wrapper. All leaves naked as they come, right out of the bag. No dampening them at all. Not even the wrapper. Fired off the DVR, bunched the leaves, bound them, paused to watch Rhonda escape a head crank, laid out the wrapper, one cut to remove the middle, wrapped it, pausing mid-wrap to watch Rhonda finish the arm bar, a bit of glue, and done. Four and three quarter minutes. That's it. No mold, just rolled.
Look at how that wrapper lays down! ...and I didn't even trim the edge. Even and firm throughout, with a fine sheen that does not show in the pic. Only thing... I was so happy with the looks of it that I went ahead and capped it, which ruined the head. Looked better without.
I'm a proud papa.

As well you should be. A beauty considering with all the leaves just out of the bag.

That is amazing. Hard to believe that edge ain't trimmed.
Aw! You're supposed to build a small shrine for it, and contemplate its melding potential for at least a few months.
It's a damn nice looking cigar. I can't remember the last time I rested a fresh cigar for more than an hour or two.

Ha ha ha! This one gave me a belly laugh until it hurt!
I think this is gonna be my new challenge, is mastering the quickie. Not that I'm over the Uppowoc Perfecto; but this is neat too. Deciding whether to call them kinikinik quickies or quickinikiniks, cause, ya know, I do like that alliteration.
If I could just get to where I could do like Dad, who used to pull his fixins out of his shirt pocket & roll a cigarette one handed while driving the car with the other hand and telling a story. If I could fish out the makins & roll a cigar one handed while under weigh on the Indian murdersickle ... why I could be the next big circus act!
What do you think? Kinikinik quickie? Quickinikink? QK or KQ -- what say you?

What's the Native American word for "little one"?
Each tribe pretty much had their own language. If there was a universal language among tribes, it would have been a form of sign language.
This is an incomplete list of Native American languages. It is still huge: http://www.native-languages.org/languages.htm

The Bloody Mary Garnish AKA Rolls Royce Hood Ornament, and the Shitty Draw are wrapped in some old scrap Indo wrapper I had lying around. So is one of the robustos. The inner bits are a Sumatra binder, and one leaf each Criollo 98 seco, Criollo 98 viso, and Habano viso. Smoking the Shitty Draw later today.
Puckwudgie. Akin to fairy, gnome, or sprite. Mischievous little rascal.
- wrapper: Vuelta Abajo (2014)
- binder: Besuki (WLT)
- filler: Machu Picchu Havana and Vuelta Abajo
The wrapper was misted last night, and stored in a Ziplock until rolling time today. It came out with a dry surface, but was as limp as wilted lettuce, and very stretchy.

Slow, rich and dark leathery flavors, medium strength. No glue. No wrapper trimming. Just a plain old mid-morning cigar.

That looks really good for a plain old mid-morning cigar. Now I'm hungry for wilted lettuce

I'll second the Quick-Puckwudgie. It has a ring to it.
Yabbut... what's this robusto have to do with little ones? That's a full sized 52 ring 5 1/2" cigar. Nor is it intended to be mischievous.
