Hello from pennsylvania

[RICH]

Just a quick hello! Just started trying to roll my own cigars,(damn it looks so easy on youtube) and it looks like I'll need lot's more practice. The 2 I rolled so far are very "bumpy" and the filler is loose. I'm going to de-stem all of my binder,wrapper and filler and pre-cut (prep) some of it before I try to roll again.We'll see what happens....

Welcome to FTT Rich. I've been rolling my own for almost three years now. It does take practice and patience. The upside is you can smoke most of your mistakes, Very little waste. I haven't bought a cigar in almost two years and I'm smoking better cigars. Lots of helpful advice here so read up and Good Luck !

Hey Rich

Where in Pennsylvania are you? I live in Northern Delaware and I get all over PA by motorcycle during Summer. I'm in the same boat as you, just beginning. Rolled my first batch about September, my second just last month. It does get better; but it sure does start out clumsy. We ought to set down to roll together and see if we can't learn something. Gimme a shout. I have my first habano leaf sprouting right now.

I'm interested too. I used to live in Bethlehem and Allentown and still have a friend in Reading.
