http://wholeleaftobacco.com/Whole-Leaf-Cigar-Blends_c30.htm and pick a blend. Just thirty bucks includes filler, binder, wrapper & glue, and it comes in super sacks that will keep your leaf fresh. For equipment, all you need is a pizza cutter or an ulu out of the kitchen to cut the leaves, your cigar cutter to square off the ends of your cigar, a spray bottle to moisten wrapper, and a surface to work on. Lots of things can make a surface, like an old cutting board, and unpainted shelf board, a formica top, most anything. My current fave is a one by two foot tile from Home Despot that cost me $2.65... whatever looks smoothest and is impervious to your cutting. That's all you need & you're good to go. Don't even worry about cutting caps or making flags or distilled water or molds or blah blah any other horse pebbles. Just get started. Naked aborigines did it on a smooth rock with a shark tooth, so what the hell, right?
I hope to work on a video today especially aimed at raw beginners. This may finally be the weekend I finally have time to do it. We'll see.
