Double binder question

[Jason C]

Hi friends hope you’re well and blessed. My question is when using a double binder if I use one leaf which obviously consists of a left and a right side is it ok to use both in one wrap verse 2 lefts or 2 right sides.

I’m curious because when I go to wrap the cigar veins will be facing up on one of the leaves and I’m worried it will make the final wrapper look bad.

Is this done? Or do I just use left pieces with left pieces and right pieces with right pieces? Thanks again

I try to match the direction of the veins so that they are parallel with the length of the cigar. Sometimes I use two lefts from two different leaves or I'll use the left and a right from the same leave but flip one leaf over.

I appreciate that thank you. So when you flip the one leads over are you able to still match the veins of the leaf?

Re: "flip"... Imagine just folding the leaf in half. The veins have some level of symetry across the mid rib.

Thank you that makes sense.

The day before i have a rolling session I remove the midribs of all my leaf and bring them into case overnight in ziploc bags. On rolling day I stack each leaf type (binders and wrappers) into left and right piles in the bags. I only use one side per cigar, all left or all right for binder and wrapper, no matter the needed quantity. This method works for me as I tend to gift a lot of my rolls and I don’t like veins showing in my cigars.
