Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the welcome. Since I wrote this post on very little sleep I guess I could give a bit more for those who do not know me.

Currently been enjoying cigars for around 18ish years, dabble in pipes some (more just collecting the tobacco for them), recently after seeing others rolling cigars and watching video after video (partially responsible for the 81 days worth of viewing on a certain channel), I have decided to take the plunge and learn. I have done a few so far slowly getting the hang and looking forward to learning more and progressing in the hobby.

A bit more awake and I have had some coffee at this point.

It is, I believe the 3rd or 4th one that made it to finish

Haha yeah at least 10 hours in the last 2 days since I have gotten my supplies. Still trying to get that calibrated hand for how much leaf I need for a filler, I am trying to stay in the PC size 4.5X46 is the mold I snagged as that is the size I enjoy most from production cigars

Well, if you limit it to 2 sticks fully pressed in the mold and sucked on to check for draw, followed by calibration in the next two, and assuming you are using the same or similar leaf in each stick, you should get pretty well calibrated for that mold in one or two mold-fulls.
