Much ado about nothing.
A good cigar is a subjective thing. Either you enjoyed the cigar or you didn't. What anyone else thinks of that cigar is their opinion. Any decent cigar shop will have cigars for $10-15. But you could go farther with your money by buying some whole leaf tobacco and practice making your own rolls. You can then make them any shape and size you want.

Something I've been meaning to ask about this particular size, the enclosed foot, is that excess binder gathered into a nub , or is it a separate cap?

Another batch with what I think will be an interesting blend.
Binders were in extremely dry case so were a bit crispy and had to use a double binder.
Filler: CT Corojo / Carmen Cubita / Piloto Cubano
Binder: Mata Fina
Wrapper: 5x CT Corojo / 5x CT Havana

New to rolling. I roll 10 sticks per week. This is week number 5. These are 46 x 5. The dolls and then freshly wrapped going in the dry box.
I feel good about the bunching, binding and into the mold for 24 hours (with a couple of turns). My wrapping and capping needs a lot more practice.

I really like box pressed cigars so......
I took 3 of the sticks and put them in a homemade box press. All the darker wood is Spanish cedar. We'll let them dry out in there and see what we get. Will post final pictures in 5 or so days.
