so as far as applying the wrapper, I use a stainless tray, because it is easier to cut on, and if you lightly mist the outside of the wrapper, it sticks well to the stainless ( a trick i found on youtube of Sam Leccia rolling a nub)

you always want to start at the tip of the leaf, with veins facing up.

Remove a thin strip of the outer edge of the leaf, this is the edge that shows!

Then remove a larger section of the inner edge, it does not show, and contains the bulk of the veins.

I then bring it up to a tail, applying glue to the wrapper on the last 1/2 inch before the tip. One thing i did not show is that i cut a small flag from a scrap piece and go around the last 1/2 inch again, making a triple cap.

I then "Roll" the cigar, you can either use the Cheveta, or a piece of cedar like i have. this helps flatten out any veins that are really sticking out.

Cap it, i use a 3/4 inch copper union that has been sharpened,

And cut the foot.... now youre done.
