just by them smell of this shipment of Dominican fillers, I can tell this will be a tasty smoke. 
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
