Lol please tell me someone got that.... Any who. Do you make your own cigars? I would love to see a video if you hand roll your own sticks! I've recently become obsessed with watching videos on people hand Rollin cigars. It's just an awesome process to watch. Would love to see yours pics and/or videos!

I dunno if that counts.
I roll, but I haven't made any vids. Still learning.
I have a huge batch of leaf coming in today or tomorrow. My present program is to roll just three a day, most every day, all Winter long, until I develop a proficiency. I figure it's like learning to play an instrument -- an hour practice every day. By the time I am half way into this project, I will have such a surplus of perfectos stacked round me in boxes I won't know what to do with them all. Making plans how to give them away. Last night, for instance, I wrapped three in leaf grown by a fellow in CT. Broadleaf binder and CT habano wrapper. He kept a stash for years, and sent me some. I rolled round some criollo 98 seco filler with a touch of Aleman viso. Gonna shoot a batch back at him soon as I roll thru all his CT wrappers. Big veins, but a nice marbled look:
My staple is Criollo 98 filler with a touch of either piloto cubano viso, or Argentine mata fina, or African flojo, for flavor. Sumatra binder and habano wrapper. Dunno if this mix appeals to you. Be glad to send you some hand-rolled for you to evaluate, if you want. Shoot me a PM.
It's way more fun to do than talk about or watch. It's all about playing in the aroma of quality leaves.
Gave up rollin the other stuff many years ago.
Ill check that link out today on my lunch break. it looks like one of those things that would be fun to do but something I wouldn't by happy with for myself...Im WAY overly critical on my work (cooking, yard work, cleaning and whatnot) that I think I would discourage myself out of I pretty quickly. lol that stick is rather beautiful! great coloring and I like the marbled look is gorgeous! I would love to try some at some point in time but my humi is fairly full and I am still developing my tasting abilities and would hate to not appreciate one of those to its fullest potential. I will however keep that in mind for the future
My last 3. Look crappy, but smoked and tasted great.
In one of the videos linked earlier, the gentleman was using a small plastic mold. I wouldn't mind getting one or two of those.
if those were your first three... The dont look half bad!
