Hello from California

[James Hunsicker]

Hello all, gonna be my first attempt at rolling my own cigars. I want something with some creamy, nutty coffee notes. Don't really know what filler, binder and wrap to use. I like something a little lighter then Maduro but I like Maduro too, nothing darker.

Thank you

Welcome from Texas! I highly recommend WLT's Melodioso Cremosa cigar kit to get you started. It's what I used as my first rolling experiment and they turned out great, and sounds like the flavor profile you are after.

Melodioso Cremosa is a unique cigar blend kit using the finest Dominican long filler and a smooth Ecuador Shade wrapper. Buy this 1 lb tobacco kit.

I canceled my order with leaf only, I like how whole leaf has these kits. I didn't want the kit LO has and randomly picked some leafs and filler that sounded good, I did some research and found the leaf I was gonna use for binder and wrapper doesn't make a good binder cause it's too thin. Good thing I ran across WLT and this forum, thanks yall

What leaf did you think was too thin?

Dominican Seco Piloto Cubano and CT Havana Primed is what I ordered. After some research I found it said that the primed is too thin to use as a binder, maybe not for an experienced roller though.

greetings from Fresno, hope to be living in SLO in the next few years..

Thanks. Never tried that CT Primed, but yeah, you can double-up anything and bind with it, IMHO.

What're you hoping to do in SLO? School or work? I admit, I'd rather live in SLO than Fresno, myself.... I usually only pass through Fresno on my way to Yosemite.

Work.. I was born an raised here in Fresno. I hate the heat and extreme cold. Pismo has always been my get away, figured I might as well live in that area. SLO or Santa Maria area

Welcome and have fun playing with your first leaves

Sorry, although I lived in the Bay Area of California for some years, that was a long time ago, back when people spelled things with fingers instead of thumbs. I had to look up "SLO" just now. San Luis Obispo.

Sounds good. Yeah, my buddy in Shafter (near BF) goes to Pismo with his fam to get away from the heat.

People around here have called SLO "SLO" or "SLO-town" since at least the 1960s (I can't remember further back than that). Six syllables are just too darn much.
