Let me just start off by saying.... Rolling a maduro is very difficult, due to the fact that the leaf is velvety soft, and can tear at any given time... luckily with a lot of patience, I was able to roll 10 using 10 wrapper leaves. hydration is very important with these leaves.

also there are a lot of darker tobacco juices, which can stain your hands...

and finally, i have 12 but i rolled 10 today.

Doing a great job Andrew! We all thank you for the hard work.

Some CT shade and Havan Prime are for sale in the WTS/T

so.. if anyone would like to know, I will be getting a second mold to do a 42x5, It will save me on filler, and not everyone likes a Robusto.

for the next mini batch, I am using the same Dominican blend, but with a maduro binder and maduro wrapper.... guess you could call it a "double maduro"
