I've used a variety and found it to be a matter of personal taste preferences in the end. So there is no real right or wrong answer. With that being said, I always like working with the LO Dominican binder for its strength (not tearing), smoothness, and flavor. Lately I've been using T-13 viso...

Interesting observation @YvanheTerrible

I needed a setup to drill some small pieces at a 45 degree angle so made this. It doubles as a cigar holder!

Perpetual state of my desk...a random assortment.

Red Sparrow, wife and I enjoyed it.

I'm not sure, I seem to like everything with this cocktail... I do like the Corojo viso, I'll have to try that! I've not ordered the Olor viso to try yet. Maybe next time.

T13 is a viso from WLT, one that I've enjoyed. https://wholeleaftobacco.com/product/t-13-dominican-criollo-98-piloto-cubano-viso/

A random concoction tonight, with high hopes. Some Dominican ligero, T13 viso, and Olor seco. The T13 was used as the binder. Ecuadorian seco wrapped. It's pretty smooth already. And seems to go good with a blend of Canadian Club whiskey, campari, and Angostura bitters.

As for improving the speed of rolling their first cigar, you could have them watch @webmost video on wrapping with a paper towel to practice before getting the tobacco out in the dryness. Get some muscle memory built in with something other than the actual tobacco first, then go for it.

Finally finished the closet project...wish the walls were straight. This was the first time I'd used a router to make trim out of plain stock, and the first closet I built.

Rolled up a Brazilian Marshmallow for some shop time today.

My rolls are...rustic, just so you know. I tend to roll each leaf portion into a tube and put them into the bunch. For instance, I'll rip half a ligero leaf in half, overlay them and form a tube. Then I take part of a viso leaf, make a tube shape and put it on one side of the ligero, roll up...

Rolled up a modified BHMM blend this am. Subbed in .5 leaf Mata fina for some of the corojo viso, quite tasty... .5 Nicaraguan Habano seco .5 Corojo seco .5 Corojo viso .5 Brazilian Mata Fina .5 Dominican ligero Bound in Dominican binder, wrapped in Ecuadorian seco. I have to wonder how it...

My Ecuadorian seco wrapper was too short so I finished this one with a piece of American CT wrapper.

I'm sorry to hear this Randy. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

So each cigar had a blend of 11 leaves?

A little eagle rare while rolling cigars tonight.

I saw your picture on page 10, 11, 12...I think there was a whole chapter dedicated to you!
