Keep up the great work.

Re: Rolling your own
 

I just went back and read all eight pages. It was really interesting to watch the quality of construction improve in just a months time. I am amazed how many brothers you have inspired to try this. Excellent work.

Re: Rolling your own
 

THIS! I was shocked to see how they are currently turning out.

Re: Rolling your own
 

How was the one i sent you?

Re: Rolling your own
 

I'm actually going to burn that puppy this Friday night :banger. I'll try my best at a review. Don't kill me if my review skills are lacking :r

Re: Rolling your own

Re: Rolling your own
 

Truth. My reviews are usually: The cigar was :tu or :td

Re: Rolling your own
 

Do you have a list of the youtube vids that you found are the most helpful?

Re: Rolling your own
 

Thanks for the question, I will make a list and supply the links today. :tu

Re: Rolling your own
 

I was wondering the same thing, I kinda found a few but nothing that really sticks out to me.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Andrew, your tube shows it should be delivered today but it was in Philly this morning so it might be tomorrow. Let me know when it arrives, thanks for all your hard work and documentation in this thread!

Re: Rolling your own
 

meh, wasn't today, i was expecting it. there is always tomorrow. :tu

Re: Rolling your own
 

You should sell some after that great review im sure you would get a couple buyers ..... Im thinking about tring this thanks for the thread

Re: Rolling your own
 

I am waiting for my post count to go up, in order to open the "other doors"....

Those are a some good basic videos i have used to help with construction.

Re: Rolling your own
 

I'm pumped to try a few come December. Would love to get together with all you Rochester guys, but Sundays aren't the best for me.

These look amazing by the way. When you mentioned in my thread about rolling your own, I never imagined anything this legit.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Thanks!

One of the first Dominican blends i made, along with a Session Lager

Burned perfect all the way through, great flavors, Got some hints of Vanilla, earthy tones, and towards the end noticed a little anise.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Drew,

I'd be willing to pay for shipping if you'd be willing to send me 1? I'm a newb, and not really good at reviewing, but I'd love to try one and share my thoughts.

Re: Rolling your own
 

pm sent

Re: Rolling your own
 

I'm late to this party, but WOW Andrew you have come along way, I see a bright future for you in rolling your own.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Everytime I see something new on this thread I just keep wanting to try this... I think I will be Very soon

Re: Rolling your own
 

Are these for sale Andrew? I'd love to try some.

Re: Rolling your own
 

I also would buy a fiver.

Re: Rolling your own
 

I would consider buying a fiver to hand out for everyone to try at christmas eve this year.

Re: Rolling your own
 

So this is a mini that i made... dont want to use the name "Nub"
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...8/IMG_1005.jpg

I just purchased some Maduro wrappers, so i will have a Dominican filled with a maduro wrapper shortly.

I have taken into consideration the sale of Roxy cigars, as it is difficult to sell them not having the proper licenses, I figure i will sell the Cigar bands only, and the "tobacco is not for consumption"

Fivers will be 25 shipped in the small flat rate box. How does that sound?

Re: Rolling your own
 

Re: Rolling your own
 

all of the cigars i will be making will be 5x52

Re: Rolling your own
 

How about the "Roxy Stub" instead of "nub"?

Re: Rolling your own
 

Oh I like it! Andrew those look amazing!
I may have to order 5 maduro bands from you later down the road.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Yep, put me in for later down the road as well. Congrats Andrew!

Re: Rolling your own
 

Andrew,

I just got caught up on the entire thread and can tell you that you are doing an excellent job with this! It is such a cool hobby and it gives other BOTL a chance to see an up close and personal side of what goes into making a cigar.

You are really doing a great job and I just wanted to say thanks for a great thread and all the work that you are doing to share your hobby with us!

I will certainly be following your progress moving forward. :tu

Re: Rolling your own
 

Big thanks to Shane who was very generous in sending back some sticks for a couple i sent to him,
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...8/IMG_1012.jpg

Another thanks to Mac, who was also very generous. ( Mac i will be making some more Maduros, so watch out :tu)
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...8/IMG_1010.jpg

Re: Rolling your own
 

These really look great! Put me on the list to try some maduros :tu

Re: Rolling your own
 

I'll take a fiver of the maduros. Just tell me how.

Re: Rolling your own
 

I will let everyone know when the maduros are available with some pictures.

Re: Rolling your own
 

:wo :wo

Re: Rolling your own
 

i saw that comment coming a mile away.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Can't wait to see these!

Re: Rolling your own
 

Great minds think alike, great job Mac!:tu

Funny 2 out of the sticks we both sent are the same (or at least close)! And Maddies, imagine that?

Re: Rolling your own
 

At least I will be able to enjoy each of those sticks, knowing I have a second on hand.

Re: Rolling your own
 

True, that's how I see it too!

Re: Rolling your own
 

Some sticks will be for sale in another thread .

Re: Rolling your own
 

:banger:banger

Re: Rolling your own
 

up and selling a fiver at a time. :tu

soon i will have these available as soon as they rest. Dominican blended filler, Havana Prime binder, CT shade leaf wrapper.
the marbling on the wrapper goes away when dry. just moisture from rolling

Re: Rolling your own
 

So I got a little package in the mail today. Thank you Roxy, I will post a little review when I can for you. I am sure there is a couple other guys that will love to tell you what they think as well...

Re: Rolling your own
 

Glad they made it to the middle east... hope you guys enjoy them.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Andrew, my Roxy Maduro came in last night, thank you, thank you, thank you....will probably fire this up on Friday and let you know on Sat about it.

Re: Rolling your own
 

Andrew, I can't give a real review because It was a quick kill.... But I can tell you that one ROXY is no longer with us.
It was good, but I will need a little more time for the next one.

Re: Rolling your own
 

no problem Shawn,

I finished the CT shade leaf dominican blend. I have 10 available.
I will split them into fivers, or individual. pm me for info.
