Rainmax! Welcome back!

As a complete noob, been doing 2 at time so I can smoke 'em as I go. This one is #5 and it smoked very well. Flavour is always good, but this is my first that really smoked well, couple of very nice ashes (I say that and everyone giggles around me). Rested for 48 hours in a dry box ... I think I previous smokes have had a bit too much moisture still in them.

My first cigar! My Terroso Profundo kit arrived today and I spent all afternoon learning. I think the draw will be very weak though. Looks like a tree branch! Haha.

I am a total noob, but that looks like a good one ... it's in the eye of the beholder. I was so excited to smoke my first rolls ... well ... it retrospect it would have better to let them dry out for at least a day, they also tighten up as they dry ... as an added bonus, the smell frickin' great as they do dry out.

Your first stick looks better than my last stick. Stay with it , you‘re off to a great start.

Thanks . I don't have a mold either just free hand. Will post more as I go.

 

[Kerley0319]

I must say this WLT tobacco is great though. I've tried some of the pipe blends before but this cigar is great. Maybe kind of crudely freehand rolled but its burning even , stout , and I love it.

Here is a few I rolled yesterday. Still VERY, very rough. #2 is from a 48x5 mold I have - first time using a mold. Then today, I received this beauty in the mail! 44x7! #4 and #5 seemed to fit nicely in the mold, so my freehand rolling was somewhat on track. Looking forward to the weekend!

And how'd the test go?

 

[tullius]

Perfect draw, great burn, solid beginner medium flavor and strength cigar: mainly spanish cedar mixed with aromatic pencil shavings, mild white pepper and just a hint of orange peel, clove and green tea. Same stick with Rene as the seco and coro wrap scrap as binder is better, but was running low on those two components at the time so tried this variation. All said very good, will roll more of this blend and would recommend, the girl liked it too.

57 day rest? How is that even possible with a beauty like this??!!

If I could roll one that pretty I’d put it in a shadow box on the wall.
