I'm rolling twice as many cigars for my real estate agent than I am for myself. He's my guinea pig. The names are just a tool to communicate about his impressions.

Can you tell us the blend of this marvelous cigars?

I'm afraid they might be deadly. I had to try.
The fella who will be smoking them has been smoking ridiculously large cigars lately, so I think he can handle the strong blend. These were paper-strip molded, but I'd say they're approximately (eyeballing) 54x5.

I’m trying to learn more, been watching Wikikigun’s videos. The cap is hard to do, my drow is blocked or too tight but they look like cigars, kind of Getting there but it takes a lot of practising... thanks to you guys and your advices!

I rolled one o' them vitola charts you see online, but two of each so that I can share. Each vitola is a completely different blend, so I don't have to use ID bands on them. In my spreadsheet they're just listed by vitola and then blend. Left to right: lancero, Churchill, Lonsdale, panatela, toro, corona gorda, corona, petit corona, robusto, petit Edmundo.

 

[deluxestogie]

That is a rather nice series.

Thanks, JC. You're probably right, I might be better than I was. I'll never be as good as the worst factory worker but I believe I take at least as much pleasure as they do in making the best cigars I can.

Ec. Maduro-wrapped 6x52 toro with "bullet cap."

 

[ChinaVoodoo]

What is a bullet cap? Is that for a cigar punch, rather than a clipper?

I don't know the intended functionality; I assumed it was for aesthetic pleasure. I've seen this cap on a few cigars--Crux, Illusione, Warped, Tatuaje all sell cigars with this cap--and it was referred to as a Cuban bullet cap or 109 cap. Maybe it was once used on some Cuban cigar or maybe it's just marketing BS.

...maybe it's just marketing BS.

You can make the cigar band plus the auxiliary band plus the color ribbon only so big, before you run out of cigar length. How about a band of blinking LEDs?
