    Binders ?

    A nice oily corojo oscuro wrapper half leaf makes a tasty binder for Nic filler. How it would go with San Andy, I dunno. I can't see where SA would want to play with Nic. But I don't remember that I've tried it.

    Leaf Pron

    These Indo wrapper leaves are large. Compare this stack to the size of my tabla. Thin and delicate, too. They come already spread out flat, instead of crunkled up. They would have been used at the factory for wrapper, except for the smirchy color that they came from Indonesia with. That's why FX...

    I wonder whether a Tobacco Conditioninbg Chamber might be useful to you I would prep your wrapper and binder in this, and keep it in perfect shape right up to the very instant you are ready to bind and wrap. You could even put your filler in there. Then take it out one leaf at a time. Strip...

    Blending Thread

    T-13 is a hybrid leaf produced by "grafting" Dominican Criollo and Piloto Cubano. I'm not aware which plant is grafted onto which stalk... they don't say. For that matter, considering the interminable task of grafting mega-thousands of leaves onto thousands of plants across a field, I wouldn't...

    I keep wondering what rolling surface might stay damp. For instance, if one had a cookie tray fille with water, and one laid an unglazed stoneware slab in that, then there would be a surface apt to wick up water constantly, thus keeping your leaf damp. I'm thinking of Mami and Papi, who lived...

    You could certainly cut a cap with a large caliber bullet casing. Outside, with that heat, and dry as dust, I'm thinking you would have to roll as quick as you can. This should be a challenge to someone who lives in AZ to pop out a vid showing how to roll quick as a wink gars out on their back...

    If your entubado draws tight, like as not your filler is too damp.

    Leaf review, Vuelta Abajo binder

    I didn't like my batch of VA binder for binder at all. Much too apt to tear. Most of all, did not lay down smooth enough. But it made darn good filler, combined with T-13 and Rene.

    Blending, is it an art or is there more?

    I don't think it is either art nor science. I aver that it is a serendipitous combo of experience and luck. Experience is what allows you to say "I think a touch of Olor would liven this Vuelta Abajo," and have it work out. Luck is when this particular batch of Olor matches the batch that you...

    Leaf Only canceled my order

    I see a lot of talk about people sorting thru their seco looking for cheap binder and wrapper. I go the opposite direction. I use wrapper for binder. Why? Cause it gives you that much smoother of a bound bunch. Obviously, you'll get that much smoother of a wrapped gar surface if you are laying...
