The lancero is my current infatuation. Can't stop thinking about them, smoking them and buying them so I got a mold and tried my skill. I rolled a few underpacked so I thought I'd try out something I've never bought, handled or smoked - the culebra! So fun, I love it! These were bout 1\2 a leaf shy.
Corojo wrapper with T-13 viso and Nic Habano viso.

I had not rolled a single solitary gar in two weeks!
Took a break from smoking them, as well.
When I left off, I was searching for the next obsession to roll a big batch of. Batch-worthies were proving elusive.
Today, I'm going to test these two:
Both robustos share a single Honduran viso core, surrounded by three or four small & thin Pelo de Oro visos and a pair of T-13 visos, with a Dom binder. But where the upper robusto is wrapped in FX CT, the lower one is wrapped in old WLT corojo.
The corojo is not suited to wrapping a robusto. Most are too scanty and slim to provide a flag from the same half-leaf as the wrap, and much of that half-leaf is crunkled. Better suited to wrap a corona. I believe my next experiment will be to bind that same filler with the corojo wrapper, then wrap in FX CT. That way, I can capture some of the corojo flavor inside a smoother wrap.
Sposed to warm into the sixties this afternoon. I'll be on the smoking porch, burning these, looking for the next stash-worthies. Wish me luck.

All 12 grams and left right placement. From the center in leaf, 0.33 ASP. 0.5 PA ligero, 0.5 Peru ligero, 0.5 PA viso and 1.25 Peru seco fillers. Dom/VA binders. Corona wrappers have inner VA binders and La Rosa has Dom binder inside. Two in Olor wrappers.
