Hi @Jan Bynens , hows your project going these days? I haven't seen any updates in a while, hope it's awesome!

Its not much, and @Dran shared it first! The wrapper is great to work with and looks nice but wasn't in my wheelhouse. I couldn't figure out a favorite blend with it so thought I'd send it to you, the Great Enabler, @BrewinHooligan !

A quick roll of rene seco, condega ligero Dominican binder and American CT wrapper.

Satisfying and yummy. The first one was made with leaf that had been moistened a week earlier and not rolled yet. It had some ammonia in it part way into smoking. Not a satisfying smoke. The second smoke of the day was with filler leaf that had not been moistened. The second one was paired with...

Made a random blend this evening as my earlier smoke was off target. This one was one Nicaraguan Condega ligero and one Dominican ligero, bound and wrapped with American CT shade. This one is on target.

Today's smoke: This is WLT American CT wrapper on Dominican ligero, T-13, and Piloto Cubano volado.

What kind of blend is it? Curious minds want to know...

I don't go through any of them to separate them but I am not production oriented on my sticks. I don't need consistency in my rolls, I actually appreciate the variation. While I used to log each blend so I could reproduce good ones, I've found that by the time I'm ready to reproduce something...

It was gifted to me, I can share. Besides, YOU are The Great Enabler that got this entire section of the board going. Its kind of like I owe you anyway.

I think it's great to work with. In your hands, it would make beautiful cigars. I also am enjoying the flavors but of course that's just me. Based on some of your blends, I'd guess you'd like it. Let's see if I can find that AZ addie I had stored a while back...

This is Leaf Only Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper....

I meant to check this morning before heading to work...I forgot. I'll check after work and let you know.

This corojo sure is a pretty wrapper:

So what's the blend? What is it you love about it? Curious minds want to know....

Well I finished that router table enough to get going on some house projects. Started making trim for linen closet shelves...

Awesome cigar, and how did you get your chaveta to match your countertop so well?

I'm no master blender but it seems the larger the rg, the cooler the smoke. The smaller the rg, the hotter the smoke. Just as hitting a cigar too fast changes the flavors(presumably because it needs to cool between draws), changing the diameter of the cigar will change the temperature and...

I've experimented with different ideas. Sometimes I've applied the seco similar to a binder, then the actual binder and wrapper. Usually not though. Most of the time its entubado filler, a binder, then wrapper.
