Pics of your sticks!!

Well I didn’t mean to make it this big but #2 feels tighter rolled so that’s good. Still need to trim the foot and there wasn’t enough wrapper left over to make a good triple cap. I managed to make crude one tho. Gonna let this one age just a smidge. Probably enjoy It next weekend.

What does MSA stand for?

Mesopotamian Sumerian Andalusian?

That's some super rare wrapper but delicious if you can find it.

Darin nailed it, Mexican San Andres. Master of Science in Administration and Mesopotamian Sumerian Andalusian were, shall we say, a little off.

I’m very impressed by the combustibility of the San Andres. It’s very thick and leathery, in fact it almost seems hydrophobic, however it burns great with a beautiful ash.

I smoked an Ezra Zion FHK Lonsdale last night with a beautiful MSA [EDIT BY @deluxestogie: Mexican San Andres] wrapper … oily and delicious!

A gift for a friend before I move:

Unfortunately for him, I smoked all the Partagas, he will have to settle for home rolls.

#3 and #4 are looking much better and this morning I also started cleaning up an old tuck cutter I got on the bay.

I didn't notice the badge until now. That sure cleaned up nice.

The results are in and admittedly mixed for those two terrosso Profundos. The entubado one (first two pictures) was my first nigh on unsmokable stick; there was a nasty knot for about a quarter of the cigar, but past that it was okay.
The second one was better but burned a bit crooked.
I rolled two more today, pics to follow.

 

[Snowblithe]

Okay, this one is my best yet. I was more careful and only used a single binder layer. Also I doubled the igero and I am pleased report that it is more than delicious and burning flawlessly so far. I need to keep doing whatever I just did.

Beautiful cigar.
I'm kind of reminded of a medevil torture chamber though. The cigar strapped in to the iron machinery screaming for its life. The lifeless hunk of its severed foot lying at its base, the screw waiting to be turned to bring the next small section in contact with the blade to be chopped off. Other implements of torture strewn around the scene - the guillotine cutter, the wooden sticks to poke it, the dreaded cap cutter, the metal plate with slice marks on it from previous victims. In the background the rest of the cigars compadres are bound up and being slowly suffocated in a plastic bag.
Like I said Beautiful cigar... but oh the humanity

I'm a little slow, it took me a minute to get the Torquemada reference
