Keep on rolling, you will enjoy smoking them all the more rolling your own. I never smoked cigars till I got into whole leaf and started rolling them my self.
Yesterday was a fine day. It was the last day of school (I've been a second grade teacher for 16 years) and UPS dropped off my WLT order late in the evening. Time for my first attempt at rolling. It was harder than I hoped it would be, but maybe with time and practice I'll figure it out. Here's the pic. I didn't mean to roll the big one so large, but I did mean to roll the small one so little. I've been a fan of the cheroot look since seeing The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly decades ago.

my latest batch, did these up yesterday:
Trying out the criollo ligero. Some brazilian viso and colombia seco in the mix. Cameroon wrappers. I didn't put too much effort into the wrapping and capping aesthetics as i was in a hurry.
Today's effort, inspired by webmost's work of art cigars. The top two are his of course and the bottom one is mine : )
Father's day cigars, Yellow Twist Bud with Xanthi Yaka wrapper, the small one I infused Vanilla in for my step dad
Anniversary cigars, Yellow Twist Bud with Conn. Shade Leaf wrapper with a strip of Xanthi Yaka in the filler.
Very handsome cigars. Are those the new breast cancer cigar bands?

You all got me in the mood to roll some new sticks, with all your pretty sticks....
