I don't get time to roll a lot of cigars, but when I do I use strips of newspaper to tighten around the rolled binder as a mold, let it sit for an hour, then apply the wrapper. This was the last of my Nicaraguan shade wrapper from WLT; with a Sumatra binder; Dominican O'lor and a leaf of Little Yellow that I grew a few years ago as filler.

Machu Pichu Havana puro. Light to medium body with a sweetness that I couldn't quite identify, somewhere between table sugar and vanilla, and oh so peppery. This is a variety that would add some zip to a tamer blend, but wouldn't distract in the least.
Smoked pretty hot throughout but I'll mark that to construction, age, or the balmy weather.

Man these cigars you guys roll are a thing of beauty!
I rolled this one last night. Habano and Criollo filler with Habano binder and a Havana 608 wrapper. The wrapper was a seco from the last batch of plants that I had to harvest way too early. It was thin and stretchy though and wrapped nicely. Getting a better feel of what works. It's just a rando bunch of whatever was closest in the storage container but it should be good.
Think I'll smoke it when it warms up a bit outside.

First sticks ever made from random mudlugs. Really just to learn the steps and get a feel of the tobacco.
The filler I used was way too dry. It may have started out as entubado but it ended up flakes.
I made four and smoked one. That one drew well and tasted good.
I really need to work how to rehydrate the leaves.

Nice first sticks.
The night before rolling, lightly mist the filler leaves, and tuck them into a plastic bag. Do the same for the binder and wrapper, but mist a little heavier. Next day, they should be ready to roll.

Thanks for the tips. I did that but the leaves dried out again by the next day. Maybe I need better bags and boxes? That's the sort of stuff I'm having to work out.
I've got plenty of mudlugs to trial and error with till I develop something that works before I start using my good leaf which on the most part is still out in the garden growing.
So, I've got time. I might try building a plexiglass box. I've got scrap plexiglass lying around. I really don't want to have to buy stuff. I can afford it; I just don't want to contribute to the economy if I don't have to.
BTW:
"The night before rolling not a creature did stir..."
Its almost like we are wrapping presents for ourselves. Then to open them, we light them on fire! Totally my style.
I just use unscented trash bags. I mist the leaves and then spray some in the bag too before folding them over. Doesn’t need to be fancy. Also best to used distilled water when misting, but if you have filtered water it would probably be fine.
