New to Cigar rolling

[webmost]

I have rolled a few and I just ordered a mold from Keith. I'm also about to order a half pound of:

Dom piloto volado, seco, and ligero
With ecu seco binder
And finally MSA wrapper

I want to see how it turns out

... the slippery slope begins

I blame each and every one of you... especially YOU @blisscigars

I have never told a single person that they should learn to roll cigars. If anything, the record shows I recommend against it!

It's not about what is said, your instagram and YouTube videos did enough damage. Ain't no way you are getting out of what you did!

I mean, let's be honest as soon as @blisscigarco admits his fault in facilitating/causing this new addiction, the sooner we can all go back to rolling/smoking cigars.

Ain't gonna happen!

One thing you need to know, Castrol, these people are enablers. They will encourage you to spend money on leaf all day long. It's a trap I tell ya! A trap!
When I start looking at the leaf blends I see posted here I check what leaf I have on hand, and if need be, I order some of what I don't have so I can make the blend. I've now got so many different kind of leaf it will take years to use up. And that's exactly how I like it. My wife said I had enough leaf. What does she know? LOL

The nice things is I'm starting slow. Small purchases make the cuts into the budget easier, but also Lee me from feeling overwhelmed. Then again, is having too much leaf ever a bad thing?

There is a plan of sorts. The goal is to get as many as I possibly can into storage/aging so I have them to smoke starting as early as Thanksgiving. We're going on a 15 day cruise next year and I also want to have plenty of yearlings to take with me.

So that's going to take a lot of leaf. I ordered 3 more pounds today:
Criollo 98 Ligero, Corojo 99 Ligero, Criollo 98 Viso

What get from your post is that you really like criollo 98! And I hear you on that, I really need to get more leaf!
