Default Re: Rolling your own

I consider this a fair review, as it will help me make changes to how I store the cigars after rolling, and amount of time needed to rest the cigar, this thread is a learning tool for me and I hope others can chime in to help with issues I am having.

Thanks a lot Blak Smyth

I think you are making a great cigar though, I was impresses with the professional construction and the taste I was experiencing prior to the burn issue.
I would have loved to say all great things but I have to be honest with you so here is the review I was working on:


"Roxy H1 review
Woodsy prelight smell
Single cap very firm and even construction,
partially closed foot.


1/3
First draw was a bit tight but not too tight. Sweet smooth earthy flavor.
Semi sweet mild earthiness
Very light grey consistent ash.
Draw a bit harder than I prefer.
Cigar paired nicely with a cream soda.
At the end of the first third I ran into an unexpected issue, I couldn't get any smoke output even after inserting a draw tool.
I removed all the ash to find the cigar had tunneled in the center.
I cut the end of the cigar down and relit, it began to tunnel again.
I think the cigar was too wet still.
The head of the cigar was quit moist, more so than I had seen before.
I think the cigar just needed more rest. The flavors where great for a mild cigar with lots of creamy smooth earthy flavors.

I see a lot of potential but just didn't get to enjoy the stick due to the burn issue."


Thanks for giving me a chance to review the product, I wish it had been a better experience, but the good news is the flavors where there and the look was beautiful! Good luck in continuing this!
