Premium Connecticut Shade Leaf Cigar Wrapper 2012 crop Brazil.wholeleaftobacco.com
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.@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.
..rinse and repeat.

Simply more leaf up front. Freehand and paper molding. a little practice for consistency.Very nice, how do you bunch them to get the foot that thick and then gradually narrow it ?
- Slightly higher wrapper case
- Left the doll to dry in the mold
- Stretching a little bit more in both directions when rolling (yes, I've broken some)
- Narrower strip of wrapper

Again, wrapper leaf tip needs attention, but they draw well, look better and are great tasting cigars!
Great suggestions, as usual, from all the members.
Now I have to work in the direction of 'uniform distribution' and 'sensing' of the bunch.
Yes @FrostD, 2-2,5'' wide wrapper is enough. Now I ONLY need to focus on the even distribution of the filler, the right amount of glue, the time for a good level of maturation after high casing the wrapper, which casing level for the filler (too near to dry makes difficult entubado ... ), etc etc. Surely a nice pathThey look good in my book! Caps look nice and sturdy and it looks like very little to no wrapper seams I can notice. Have you found that using a narrower strip of wrapper has helped when rolling?
