Here is a pic, and for all of you that like the smell of the Roxy's, it smells 10 times better to burry your nose in this pile.

Pic is big, gives more detail

Very nice looking, cant wait to see what you make those out to be

Question on the use of pectin. Are you using some pectin when wrapping the binder? If so, where?

How much and where do you use pectin on the wrapper?

This looks like fun. I think I'm going to give it a try.

Haha, I actually laughed out loud when I read the previous post from Sam Lecchia. It was a shout out to the good ole days of SNL, Phil Hartman as "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer". Check it out if you want to understand the humor behind the comment.

I use no pectin on the binder, and the only place I use it on the wrapper is towards the head when finishing.

If you have a wrapper that is unraveling you can use pectin to fix it. You can also use it on small cracks.

[Blak Smyth]

Pectin is an all natural plant based paste/glue

Can you get in the stores or something that you have to order?

You would probably be better off getting gum arabic. It's what the Cuban rollers use and most likely what other major manuf. use as well. It can be bought at health food stores as well as online.

Alright, just ordered the leaves. And now I need to get some gum arabic and I'll be set. This is going to be fun.

Sweet, I'm excited bout the 42's. How long are you going to make them? A 6.5" cuban style lonsdale would be boss!

[ApexAZ]

I feel 90% better today, so maybe I can smoke and review a Roxy on Sunday.

Can you tell me what's in the test blend?

under the tobacco college, the second column has wrapping videos, bunching videos ( the different styles) and binding videos.

I think the mold will only be 5.5 at most. so if i have to trim the foot the longest i could get would be 5-5.25
