Adventures in home rolling

[Jim D]

After church I stopped at Meier and bought another storage cooler. I now need more trays

Soon, you will need more leaf....

 

[Vanerpaddel]

Im going to put 1 of each MSA, Habano 2000, FX Smith Conn Shade and Brazilian Mata Fina because thats all i have in wrappers lol

It sounds like a good choice.

Sheik: 1 ea Jorge viso & seco, ½ Jorge ligero, WLT corojo oscuro binder & wrapper

Made two years ago. Gave 'em all away... hardly remember 'em any more.

Me too.

I tried the LO PA binder, it’s a strong thumbs down for me.

 

[Dominican56]

Needing a replacement for the LO Dominican binder.

 

[Dominican56]

This has some Perique but I didn’t label it

Hand rolled, no mold

It’s quite good

 

[Dominican56]

Yet another good stick I failed to record. I’ve a bunch of them with Perique and Nicaraguan ligero and this is one of them. I hope I jotted the blend in my notebook

Last night I cobbled this up before going to bed.
It’s pretty good and I thought I was fairly averse to nicotine but I guess not. It’s bound with fronto. Man that’s a really nicotine forward leaf.
Honduran ligero
Corojo Viso
Ometepe seco
BMF wrapper
I like it but it’s making me jittery
Fronto has a richness I like at times. But man, it’s an ass-kicker.

 

[Dominican56]

It’s a nice rich pretty smooth for a new cigar and probably would age well. But dang, it’s powerful!!

 

[Dominican56]

Nub worthy

 

[Dominican56]

Nothing new really
Honduran ligero
Piloto viso
Nicaraguan Seco
Ecuadorian binder
BMF wrapper

A quick roll last night for today

Nothing to write home about but it’s good and I’ll make more.

Trying the T13 in a known blend.
So far so good.

And what was your final thought on this one?

And what was your final thought on this one?

It's very good. I had to end it early because we had visitors.
So:
Ligero: Leaf Only Nicaraguan Jalapa
Viso: T-13 (added a nice pepper zing. I'm guessing it's Nicaraguan tobacco.
Viso: quarter leaf or so of Brazilian viso. (love this stuff)
Seco: can't recall. I will have to check my notes.
Wrapped in Leaf Only Cameroon
Bound with LO Ecuadorian binder

It's a nice rich blend with just the right sweetness. Only hits the back of my throat mildly and I think it's from the T-13.
It's complex as far as the flavor profile and I can't describe all of it.
I like the ligero enough to order two more pounds of it this morning. I'm stocking up on the leaf I really like just in case it disappears.
Tonight, given time, I'm going to make as many of these as I can.

 

[Dominican56]

No label. I hope it’s good

 

[Dominican56]

Trying out the T-13 again this morning.
