I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
Of course you can use the scraps for stuffing material in small boxes you may send out. It makes for a nice biodegradable and infinitely adjustable stuffing that smells great when the box is opened.
Pulled this one out of the depths...can't wait to see how 2 and a half years storage smokes!
I only ordered the criollo ligero once and only 1/4 lb. of the CT1W wrapper. This is one smooth cigar, think I'll have to order more.
I enjoyed the Mata Fina with Dominican ligero and piloto seco along with Dominican binder and Ecuadorian seco wrapper. This paired well with bourbon...

I think you'll find @Hopduro listed a recommended filler leaf count based on ring gauge in the first post of this thread, hope this helps.
As for the mold question...well I don't know.
A quick roll with some favorite ingredients in a new blend. Corojo viso, T-13 viso, Nic habano seco. Can't recall if condega ligero is in there or not. American CT wrapper.
This is my 90 pound pooch thinking it might be nice under the desk instead of in his bed...
I guess it is comfy because he is now sleeping soundly!
After rolling a couple cigars, he's now like this:
My two for today. The small one without a wrapper for the ride to work (condega ligero, rene seco, t-13 bound), and the bigger one for the ride home (condega ligero, piloto cubano volado, t-13 bound, American CT wrapper).
Just wondering if this is sand, or overspray from the farm...
To me, it appears as though another frog legged leaf was on top of this one and sprayed with something that dried in this pattern...it doesn't fall off like sand.
What do you guys think?
In case someone asks, this is Rene Seco.
