I have tried entubado but somehow get better results with accordion bunching. Could be that I have short stubby hands lol.

Yes, it requires supple, perfectly proportioned hands.

But the truth is that my blends are more harmonious using the accordion method.Yes, it requires supple, perfectly proportioned hands.

I've been using the "book" method for the past year. I've never seen the pros use it but for me it is so much easier to get a consistent ring gauge, leaf placement and density, and they burn great. What ever works....

New here and happy to show stick, inspiring thread. These 2 are Ecuador seco filler and Indonesian Bezuki binder/wrapper, will be smoking today to figure out what I've done. I've decided to invest in some tools to roll beauties like you guys have! Just a kitchen knife and pectin for now.
Great photo! Keep them coming.
Beautiful braids!
Same cigar as last time, but with half a leaf of Canadian fronto in the fill to replace an Ecuadorian.

Canadian Fronto. Are you saying that they still grow tobacco here in Canada. I thought all the farmers were paid to switch to Canola decades ago.
Bruce, I had the same reaction and impulse bought it out of curiosity. Never even heard of Canadian fronto until I ordered it.

Excited to see more as you learn it, I'm in the same spot as an amateur and was really surprised how hard it is to get a cap on. I bet tools help a ton though, hard to cut a circle with a kitchen knife.
Cutting the circle isn't the issue. For me, it's still tough to:
Get the wrapper to the perfect consistency; consistently.
Glue properly and have matching color and texture.
The cap doesn't pop off as it dries.
Capping itself takes half a second if the flag is done right. The flag feels like tying shoelaces and I'm 3 years old.

Thank you for the tip John, embarrassed I didn't think it. Have a metal tube that would work fine.
Tying shoes at 3 is a good analogy. Wrapping your head around what you're doing is the toughest part, it's much easier to tighten the technique up.
And I want someone more experienced to check me when i say this but i think a straight cut is the hardest to cap, most cigars i see have a dome shaped cap. Could that be making it harder on you?
