Your using 4 filler leaves, try using less leaf rather than more, my 46 rg rolls only use 3 fillers and i can get them much tighter than when i roll 52 rg which use 4, all depending on leaf size, could be your using 4 small leaves.
two large and two small (the corojo leaves were like 3/4 the size at best of the cameroon) actually. so it was probably more like 3.75ish leaves maybe even 3.5ish.

How about this, I roll a 48-50 rg robusto with 4-5 leaves. If it works, it works.

Awesome advice from Bliss: have a commercial example of what you're trying to roll next to you. Feel it in your hands. That's the amount of leaf you should feel when rolling

thats actually how i got to this roll - it was far better than my first which did not have the comparison handy :)

I always imagine that I'm progressing or evolving or something, but it turns out I'm just going in circles. I just checked out this recording of one of my live rolling Twitch streams from nearly three years ago, and it's almost exactly how I roll today:
You still wrap, then cap?

I keep my phones and tablets and other stuff on top of this stack. A friend who I hadn't seen in a few years was here visiting, and she was totally tripping on this "awesome modular table" that I had in the corner. She tried for five minutes to figure out what the hell it was made of before I finally gave it up.

Just living life bromo. Work, kid, old house to tend too. Working part time (ish) as a brewer now as well, so time is limited. Congrats on the job.
That's good to hear man! I was grilling brats the other day and it made me wonder what you've been doing

Honestly, super excited for something new, school has been loooong.
