I've been playing around with the binder lately myself. I've rolled a few with 3-4 binders. Not all on top of each other but kind of like those cigars with a 5 diff wrappers on them to show you what each taste like.I think Jim is referring to the beautifully complex blend
That being said, I love 2 filler leaf blends and haven't even explored 2 different binders, but Marc crushes that one

I think im getting better. Bunching is more consistent and solid throughout. Still have work to do on the caps.
Made a nice blend d last weekend of half ometep ligero, t13 and some secos/visos. Floral, easant and sweet actually. I'm gonna go on a rolling bender this weekend and really slow down with the capping.

I've never noticed an Olor at WLT.42x5.x - various LO Nicaraguan seco, WLT Olor Ligero (donated by @webmost), LO Nicaraguan CT shade & Ecuadorian Corojo wrappers. My 40 ring mold is my work horse, easily 90% of what I roll comes out of that mold.
40 is a really beautiful gauge and balances better in my hand than any other. Probably a toro sits best in a big fat-handed dude's hands. For shortish portly fellows the Lonsdale looks best. Having the right gauge for the hand ups the pleasure level a lot. 40 is my sweetspot but 42 is also very good.
I'm pretty sure I got it from Davis, but I could be wrong.
40 mold, generally finishes to something close to 42. Mostly I roll 5.5x42 - just about the perfect sized smoke. For me.

I agree... blending is like cooking... after awhile you just know what works well with what and like salt or pepper... how much is enough. Over 400 blends in and from time to time I run across a blend that will work for a leaf from my "hate it" list and suddenly I found usefulness of something once considered crap. I say all the time... every leaf is not for every blend but there is a blend for every leaf.

Hey gorgeous, how's your house car project going? Got pics?I agree... blending is like cooking... after awhile you just know what works well with what and like salt or pepper... how much is enough.

I have an intense house warming gift for you before you scoot on outta here.
