Sorry it took so long MadFarmer, but works been taking over my time. Any hoo, the blend I used is 2 leaves of Parguay Doble- a handful of Latakia with an Indonesian binder.

Casa Turrent makes a really good Latakia cigar. I'm all about it.

No matter which Ligero I'm using, I separate out the "Viso" type leaves from the thickest ones and blend accordingly.

I see. I do follow you on IG as it turns out. I don't recall a message on abt tabacco what ever that is. (do you mean about tobacco?) My IG is lngos1157. I don't post pics there. I did see those molds selling on ebay. Are you selling them or did you buy from that seller?
edit; snap.. you did answer me before I posted this. Nice!
robusto
1 WLT Pelo de Oro ligero
3 WLT Pelo de Oro seco
WLT Dom binder
a mystery wrapper from an old old stash. The label has disappeared. From texture, aroma, and flavor, I would guess it must be Mata Fina
This blend is too moody and turgid to succeed as a robusto. I think I shall do 1/2 ligero & 2 seco in a corona mold.
Deluxe Glessnor long-filler, hand-rolled in a lovely Ecuador Cameroon wrapper. What's not to like? The filler is from the crop of 2020, carefully sun and rain-cured in the mud beneath the plants, and mud-aged for days, if not a week or two.
I have learned to not use mud-cured fliers and trash as a cigar wrapper. That never produces a happy outcome. The leaf was gathered an hour ago. Any still-succulent portions of the stems were cut out. Most of the dried mud was knocked off.
What is actually surprising is that it burns beautifully, is really quite smokable, and presents no weedy, off-aromas. Well...maybe a subtle hint of arugula, with a soft dandilion note. But seriously, I've paid real money for worse. And of course, this one draws perfectly. On the downside, the only cigar-like attributes to the smoke seem to come from the lovely wrapper. What is absent is the raw, grassy taste of freshly color-cured leaf. There is a little nicotine present, I think.
Collecting this mud-cured filler was an afterthought. There I was, out in the garden, carrying a large, flat basket partially filled with cucumbers and green beans.

I found this one rattling around in the bottom of one of my humidors. It’s unlabeled, unusual for me, so not exactly sure the blend. I definitely taste Little Dutch and it looks like my Glessner wrapper, so it must be a blend from my 2018 grow. It’s pretty mild, so probably why it’s not labeled as I didn’t make any more of them. Got to be at least a year old. All in all still a nice smoke, specially as it’s home grown.
Who ever said you couldn't put lipstick on a pig?

Numbers 9 thru lucky 13 in no particular order. Rolled them yesterday and wrapped them this afternoon. All WLT from the Azucarado Oscuro II kit. The rosado wrapper feels like giving keys to the Porsche to the learner's permit kid. They'll taste good at least, but won't know until Halloween.

Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about cigar photos? ... He said "Cigars are too important to be left out of focus."
