The first stick I rolled using the mold @daleo8803 bombed me. Blend of Nica Habano seco, corojo viso, and criollo ligero wrapped in PA broadleaf. Finally found the spicy blend I have been craving. Lots of sweet tobacco, cream, cocoa powder, latte, and cedar to balance the red pepper loaded retro. Time to go roll a bunch of these. 4.75" x 38rg figurado that smoked for damn near an hour.
Sounds great!

Shortly after I took the second photo the cigar went out and I couldn't keep it lit. Up to that point it was very good and I was enjoying this smoke. There was a hollow hole that ran through the middle of the cigar that had a negative impact on the draw. First time I have had a problem with this smoke. Oh well...I have a couple more of them in this Corona Gorda size.

I had the exact same issue with the first one I tried, it was a CG too. It had a hollow spot in the middle and it made it burn really badly and gave it a poor flavor. I bought a few more to give it another try though. Everyone raves about them so I figured it was just one bad stick and it was worth trying again.
