Re: Rolling your own
 

So did you use a mold or these just rolled tight?

Re: Rolling your own
 

Drew got the rest of my stuff in today, how are you storing your glue? Or do you make just enough?

Re: Rolling your own
 

I just make enough, or if I'm doing more over a week I just cover it with foil or Saran wrap

robusto-ish 50 ring and about 4.75 inch I don't have to cutting machine I usually end up using the chaveta to trim down.


I got a mold for christmas. the wife picked it up from leaf only. not really happy with it. it isn't exactly centered up. I'm going to look at getting the molds they have discussed in this thread sooner or later.

Re: Rolling your own
 

I rolled my 2nd batch today. I received the Ligeros from Leafonly and wanted to try a few. I put a few in the mold and tried wrapping some in newspaper. The newspaper method worked well! They don't look too pretty, but I think I'm getting a little better with the rolls.

Newspaper method, I think this is the first I have heard of this??? Please explain. Pictures would be great too

Re: Rolling your own
 

In my research I came across a couple examples of cuban rollers using newspaper instead of a press. All you have to do is cut a long strip of newspaper about 3" wide and then, after you apply the binder, with the paper at an 75* angle, roll the cigar up tight in the strip of paper as if adding a second binder. When done, twist both ends of paper and let it rest 45 minutes. I was able to get a lancero shape this way and was surprised at how tight the bunch had become. It was as if I had taken it out of a press. Keep in mind that I haven't tried one of these cigars yet so I don't know about any potential draw issues, but they feel solid. Sorry, didn't take pics this time. I'll post some from my next roll.
