Re: Rolling your own
 
Thanks so much for letting us all tag along on your journey. I don't want to jinx you, but I got to ask... have you seen any beetles or beetle eggs? I don't know the method by which they store or fumigate the whole leaves from leafonly. Do you think giving them a sleep in the freezer is a good thing? I mean does it look like the leaves would dry out too easily?

This is how i get my filler, stacked- somewhat moist, which is why i have to let them sit and rest so long after rolling

And i just use a rough leaf for the binder. Thick leaves work better because they wont tear. but you could also use two thinner leaves.

and this is how i leave the first batch of maduros... for today

I ha e looked very closely at all the leaves I use and I have only seen a couple black shiny dots and the leaves that they were on I threw out. Other than that I have seen nothing.

Let me just start off by saying.... Rolling a maduro is very difficult, due to the fact that the leaf is velvety soft, and can tear at any given time... luckily with a lot of patience, I was able to roll 10 using 10 wrapper leaves. hydration is very important with these leaves.

also there are a lot of darker tobacco juices, which can stain your hands...

and finally, i have 12 but i rolled 10 today.

Doing a great job Andrew! We all thank you for the hard work.

Some CT shade and Havan Prime are for sale in the WTS/T

so.. if anyone would like to know, I will be getting a second mold to do a 42x5, It will save me on filler, and not everyone likes a Robusto.

for the next mini batch, I am using the same Dominican blend, but with a maduro binder and maduro wrapper.... guess you could call it a "double maduro" :ss

Andrew, I really love what you are doing with the leaf.:dr I can't wait to try some; I plan on smoking one ROTT and letting the others rest for awhile maybe 6 months....if they last that long.:D

Curious on something??? Is there any reason you never got involved in the Newbie sampler trade? You have been a member here since Dec 2009 and really don't have any trader feedback other then the PIF's you have done recently. Just my curiosity running rampage here. No harm and no foul intended.:)
