Hi guys/gals, greetings from Iceland. I've been lurking on this forum and others for a while trying to get better at rolling cigars. I think it's safe to say this forum is by far the best I've come across 
So I guess I'm staying, finishing my coffee.
Last May I bought around 4 pounds of leaves from another source and have along with my cousin been going through trial and error ever since. The leaves were heavily taxed to say the least 0.12 US$ per gram! So we better make this count. We enjoy the process of rolling so even though the cigar itself will be expensive in the end, we are really enjoying the time spent rolling too. We are continuously improving and always looking for more information so big thanks for the moderators and guests on this forum you have helped us ALOT.
I'd like to try to add 2 pictures of cigars that were rolled last week, Nicaraguan filler and Binder with an ecuadorian wrapper (the dark one) The lighter looking ones are a blend that I am hopeful will turn out to smoke like a chimney and be full bodied. Fillers made from Cameroon, Nicaragua. Double binder (Mexican San Andres & Connecticut) Wrapped in Connecticut Shade grown. We'll see where that takes us. All cigars were pressed with plastic foil similar to sausages, a trick my cousin learned from years of working as a chef.
Thanks for this awesome little community
