50 RG mold will do it. Robusto Deluxe is made at Tabacos Rancho Jamastran in Danli, a Honduras factory that produces Baccarat and Camacho cigars and others credited by Christian Eiroa.

Ok I should know this but I don’t.
Using a cigar mold isn’t something I’ve done much. However, while enjoying a rubusto

I’m admiring it’s construction and I would like to start making my cigars in similar fashion.

What size mold shall I use for a rubusto?

Also, can any of you identify the cigar shown in the picture??

Thanks!

A robusto is a 5x50. The 50 is the hardest mold to get since it's used in robustos and toros, the most popular vitolas in this country.

Use a 48, and let the wrapper contribute the last two 64ths of an inch

Except, be aware that a 48 is 46/64ths wide. Molds are named -2rg.

Edit: what I mean is, the diameter of the slots on a mold labeled "48" is 46/64ths.

I was told there would be no math

Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks Marc, Bliss and Web, I appreciate the info

Incidentally, the cigar shown was pretty good until half way when it tunneled badly

Thanks again.

Clearly I had too much bourbon when I labeled this stick.

I didn’t double check when I lit it today. I placed the band on the wrong end of the cigar when i rolled it, lit the wrong end...

..now I want to take a micrometer to all my molds. .. done

Since I started this thread to document my rolling journey, I owe it to myself and everyone to share that yesterday I was commissioned to roll cigars for a major movie production. It’s incredible the network I have built through social media and how the cigar and pipe community really come together. Since the studios have a ban on tobacco products, I have to use an herbal tobacco substitute as filler and will be rolling a bunch of cheroots that will be highlighted with a hero character. I’ve also been tasked with creating a rope/twist. I am beyond stoked for this and hope that this opens some more doors as well. This is the push I needed to get a business entity established and get a business license so I’m not rogue anymore.

Amazing!! Congratulations and I look forward to seeing where this takes you!

That is nice @BrewinHooligan Congratulations! Let us know where we can see you on the big screen.

What kills me is that I have to wait about a year before I can get much more information and see the actual fruits of my labor but I am beyond excited and feel so fortunate

Just wrapped my first cigar this past weekend at the PA Barnsmoker with help from an Archetype rep. Bunches were provided. Same as the Axis Mundi. Don’t think I did half bad. Probably have gotten a little better if the wrapper wasn’t cased on the spot. I’m sure I didn’t cut the wrapper leaf like it should be. I could see this being enjoyable at some point in the future when I have more time available. Let it drybox for 2 days before throwing in the wineador. Excited to try it just not sure how long I want to wait.

Congrats on the epic news!

I have mixed feelings about not being rogue any more, though.

Wow, that is beyond awesome! Amazing in so many ways! Congratulations @BrewinHooligan
