Tonight's efforts.
Corojo ligero
Criollo seco
Sumatra wrapper
These wrappers were made from select leaves classed as binder. @webmost provided these to me. And after selecting and sorting i pulled about 5 leaves from the batch and prepped them as wrappers. They are nice and slightly peppery and turn out a nice wrapper.
Thanks again Robert for the gift and experience with a wide variety.
I now have an expanded palate and ingredient knowledge. I will pay it forward.

The moon is bright tonight.
A little more practice each day! That Ecuadorian Los Rios wrapper is crazy! Unless, perhaps I am. When wrapping it just felt a little more “stickier” than others. Perhaps, it was left over glue on my fingers. Nice balance on many points for a leaf!

Nice lil "Quickie". I always liked that shape in that size for that 30-45 spare time. Looks tasty @Biglizard1
Keeping the hands busy today in between calls for work. Some not the prettiest, but always getting better and better!
Entire picture was wrapped in 5 whole total leaves of the WLT Dominican Olor wrapper. Quite a fun wrapper to use! Very large leaf with amazing color. Super easy to work with as well. Cased them overnight in a grocery bag. Made a biggg difference on this wrapper.

Paper clipped the hand rolls with no binder and all scrap filler. For a buddy who doesn’t care about the looks. Love the paper clips! @deluxestogie

Whole Leaf Tobacco – Dominican Olor Wrapper
This is a somewhat thin leaf wrapper with very good stretch and resilience with the traditional Olor flavor.. The sizes vary quite a bit from 16" x 10" to 22" x 18", so you'll be able to wrap just…

My first and second rolls. The first one I put the wrapper on inside out but it smoked the same . The second one looks a little better. They’re some hogs. 6.5 to 7 x 70’s. I cheated a bit by using a mat but I made up for it by using no glue

@MarcL How does the ‘12 compare to the ‘13? I was going to add some ‘13 to my next order here soon and *poof* gone. Lol. Onto the 2012 stock.

It is fine, delicate and I'll say richer then a Ecuador CT seed. This is my first dive into it and its a bold reach. I do like the lip. Not a big fan of a CT CT shade lip but, I was not able to compare it to the Brazil 2013.

..rinse and repeat.
Very nice, how do you bunch them to get the foot that thick and then gradually narrow it ?
