do anyone roll two wrappers

[georgewes]

It seems it might make a cigar tighter when it needs firmness. Any other advantage?

I only use a wrapper half as a binder if one half of the leaf has holes in it or damage to it. I'll use that half for the binder and the other half as wrapper. Alot of the guys use two binders to firm up their cigars. Binder leaf is nearly half the price of wrapper leaf. Filler leaf is the cheapest. When you get your filler in, regrade it into filler, binder, and wrapper leaves for more blending opportunity and some cheap binder and wrapper. There are usually some very pretty leaves in each pound of filler.

You can also get by with wrapper only with no binder for quick smokes and cheaper cost, especially if the leaf is thick and supple.

But, yeah, you can do it.

The firmness should be established in the bunching and the proper application of the binder IMO. When it comes out of the mold it can be smoked without the wrapper being applied. The wrapper, usually being the most expensive leaf, is a decorative finish on the cigar. As Tim Torres says... "It's like a dress on a woman. Makes her look beautiful but it's the women under the dress that really matters".

Yeah, if you need to do that you've got room for improvement at the bunching stage. My bunches are just as firm as my fully-wrapped sticks.

As a side note, since I roll smaller-gauge cigars, I notice the contribution of the wrappers pretty strongly. Two wrappers would really change the aroma profile of my sticks.

No truer words than those right there...

From time to time, you may not be happy with the first wrapper, tore it, met a hole, or etc., so...
