Those look downright tasty!
I like the shaggy foot...and I'm jealous of the rounded head you got on that thing (the cigar guys, the cigar!). I haven't got the hang of that yet...
Ecuador ligero, thick veins but pretty stuff

The shaggy foot is awesome since you don't cut any of the foot off
As for the head, the mold does all the work. I take a scissor and cut a 45 degree angle into two sides of the head and then press it. Kinda like @blisscigarco but he shaves the whole head

I've been known to stuff a nub in a cob pipe to smoke it to the very end
Actually i wrapped up 5 today. One is PA Oscuro, the other Ecuador ligero. Can you guess which is which?

Nice, man..I would guess the one all the way to the left is the oscuro as it looks the darkestActually i wrapped up 5 today. One is PA Oscuro, the other Ecuador ligero. Can you guess which is which?

It's not fair since I know each of these wrappers very well, but based on veins and color I'm guessing you are right.
Middle is oscuro! Just thought it was cool the range of colors with the ligero

Damn!! Just wait till you get a piece of ligero that comes out with tiger stripes. It's wild stuff
No problem at all. The clear is distilled water. The brown is "mojo" as described by BrewinHooligan, or at least my closest guess of it. Dark rum (aged not spiced), water after soaking in pineapple chunks and being strained through a coffee filter, and some vanilla extract. No scientific measurements on my part, just thought I'd try using it after reading BH's description of Willy's mojo.
Awesome, just picked up some pineapples today to make a large batch of mojo. Have you been able to notice any difference since you started using it?
To be honest, I just got a new batch of leaf that's totally different from the starter kit so I can't give a good answer. It does smell good while spritzing!
Next time I roll some, I'll roll without the mojo then do a comparison. It would be a better trial if I roll comparison sticks on the same day so they'll have the same age, same rolling patterns, just some mojo some no mojo.
The new batch of leaf is all Nic fillers, Dom binder, and Ec shade Seco wrapper. It's smooth and smokes better than the medium blend from March.

I have a little short experience with the mojo so I hope you don't mind if I chime in. The acidic aspect of it is a strong smoothing agent. Typically in tobaccos I've been getting over the last year that would be a huge win, because there is what I call an "alkaline fricativeness" to this tobacco. I thought that was normal but now I believe it comes from less-than-pro amounts of fermentation/aging; because I don't experience that with either pro cigars or certain recently-acquired whole leaf. So, in a way it makes my most-recently acquired filler/binder leaf almost too smooth, i.e. somewhat less intense in the flavor department. So I find that for my own needs it's best to not spray the mojo on everything, but rather only on certain wrappers that I've been collecting over the last year+ that have evinced a certain alkaline fricativeness which I don't prefer.
