    From what I've read, citric acid at a mixture of 2% when added to tobacco makes the tobacco taste "smoother" and takes away some of the rough tasting edges. Recipe: 2 grams citric acid to 100ml water. Spray on tobacco and allow it to absorb

    I think about home rolling cigars the same as i do about craft beer. Its about experimentation and creativity. If it weren't for homebrewers pushing the envelope, many very popular commercial craft beers wouldn't even exist. I'm not reinventing the wheel with the idea of a coffee infused cigar...

    My next experiment! I'm going to try this method with a cheap used wooden cigar box and the espresso or cappuccino capella drops. I'll report my results!

    I've used capella drops to give homebrews like a witbier that extra orange zest "pop". Or a pumpkin ale some graham cracker notes. I really like their product as it doesn't smell or taste artificial. The stuff is highly concentrated. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp is usually enough to flavor 5 gallons of beer...

    Viso has a stronger flavor than seco and less than ligero due to its location. I believe seco is often interchanged for volado. Sent from my SGH-M819N using Tapatalk

    Here is a really good representation on how much leaf to use to attain a certain guage that was posted by a adventures in home rolling member. Its exactly how i was shown by Odelma, the owner of La Faraona cigars in Tampa when i took her class. Bunching: Wrapping: Sent from my SGH-M819N...

    Here's a idea for people to add on to: flavor/aroma descriptions of different tobaccos in a running list. Maybe it'll help people come up with blends or perfect a blend they've been working on. What gave me the idea for this topic/list is some of the tobacco wholeleaf sells have no flavor...

    That's the same ratio the lady at La Faraona used when she taught me. Sent from my SGH-M819N using Tapatalk

    I would like to see it with sections like: classifieds for selling your own equipment or a really good deal you came across, trades of leaf you have excess of. Maybe a recipe section for tried and true blends. Especially if the author describes the notes that the blend gives when smoked, how...

    I'll probably use a tape measurer to mark some lengths on the board to aid in length consistency with my rolls. Got a couple molds and some blends coming in the mail. Can't wait to get started! Sent from my SGH-M819N using Tapatalk
