Looks very inviting, I like the shape!
Not sure I could turn this shape into a daily habit.Yvan rolls the Plumpfecto!
And multiple, glowing embers in your lap will be where it's at. I agree that an unfinished foot looks charming, but I have a number of t-shirts, and fleece jackets that suggest the charming foot should be clipped at the time the head is clipped.The unfinished foot is where it's at!
Today I tried and failed to make a beautiful cigar. I carefully rolled a cylindrical bunch, using a Dominican viso binder, then pressed it in a mold (conscientiously rotating it after 15 minutes). Using a Besuki Nota binder, I actually pre-trimmed a lovely wrapper strip, then wrapped the unnaturally shaped cigar. It was pretty tidy, but not tidy enough to have warranted all the extra work. It wasn't beautiful.
In robotics, there is the notion of the "uncanny valley". A complicated, sophisticated, but clearly mechanical robot impresses people with its clever engineering. But if its designers are too successful at making it look human, the real human brain instantly recognizes that it is not human, and the overly humanoid robot impresses people with how creepy it looks. The uncanny valley.
Well, I just couldn't bring myself to photograph my uncanny valley cigar. It didn't look creepy, but it didn't look like I spent a whole lot of time on it either.
