Pics of your sticks!!

Aleman puro

I get more binder/wrapper from the Aleman Seco and the Aleman wrapper Don lists are mostly of a filler grade. It may be just the batch I got. Anyway, this is a great smoke. I am loving the cedar-incense-like flavour and aroma.
Thanks Don for find these leaves!

I believe it was Knucklehead who said he thought the Aleman was better than advertised. Either way, that's a good look'n stick!!

I had a batch of Ecuadorean shade wrapper that presented that ammonia release when I was bringing to case, I put it back into my kiln for a week and it was great, actually looked better too but the taste was greatly improved

Rolled some more.
I am really liking the dark fired kentucky in my cigar blend. It really adds an extra flavour and texture. I dont thinl the room note is all that great though..


Smoking one right away after drying it for an hour.

Time to post a stick pic. (Almost slipped there...) just rolled this tonight. My experiment toasting the green brior wrapper. Ytb filler, vbl binder.

Nice MB. Is the slight taper on purpose, or just came out that way?

 

[Michibacy]

Just a couple 11% beers in my system and some raspberry beer . I decided to do it by hand instead if a mold this time so it was somewhat accidental

Love to look at other peoples cigars. Makes me think my not so perfect smokers are good too and my a noy so perfect rolling skills can improve to stuff like in this thread. Some of these I would buy just on looks alone...

still letting it dry a bit, I had the leaves in pretty high case considering how dry the air is here. I'll report back!

I am by no means a pro, I just have experience. It's what makes perfect or nearly perfect. Having a good product to work with doesn't hurt either!

Michibacy,

Looks good!

Was smoking this one after work today and I noticed it burning funny. It was rolled straight but burned sided.
Has anyone had this happened to your diy cigar?

 

[Indianamac]

Mine usually fall off at that point.

Nice dark looking leaf there m.b ..I've made me a few from cigarette types of leaf before and they turn out okay..just maybe a bit mild...I roll them all the time cigarette size when I run out of rolling papers. Lol

I have to say Don's Dominican Seco is a suprior leaf to others' offering. noticeably sweeter and smoother.

Lot of my cigars burn scew. Must be the rolling that not up to scratch, smoked a Punch corona the other day that did exactly the same, realy hard draw, for me not a very nice cigar, luckely it was a gift. Show you not just we who struggles to roll cigars

Wilbur
