My son says "Glad you rolled torpedo style. That way you can bite off the tip like Clint Eastwood".

Very nice Marc, but why did you make half of them upside-down?

I can only roll from the right with the left side of my brain. And roll left from the right side of my brain. It's subconscious they turned out upside-down. I didn't notice..

Marc, if your left or right brain smokes, it is necessary to know how to rest lol

Marc, si votre cerveau gauche ou droit fume, il faut savoir se reposer lol

I'm smoking a Machu Picchu Havana stogie, wrapped in an upper leaf from my 2014 Timor grow.

The top leaves of Timor are modestly thick, medium gray-brown, and stretchy. There is a slightly dark flavor, but not much else. Despite being still slightly damp, the wrapper burns well. The edge was trimmed, since the margin was rumpled. The Timor produces (along with the Machu Picchu Havana) a lovely white ash.

Machu Picchu often burns poorly, and requires blending with better burning varieties, but in this case, the filler is entirely lug leaf, and burns easily.

This is the 2nd cigar I made and the first I have smoked since growing my own.

All I can say is I BLAME YOU ALL! Now I will have to start rolling cigars :)
Since the first good draw on this where the smoke swirled around my tongue and cheeks, my mouth was watering the whole time. It was smooth and just a little sweet with the taste of the wrapper as a fine compliment. I gotta say I really expected nothing quite like that at all.

Dang it, now I have to grow a lot more variety next year and do a lot more work.
I guess I'll start planning now so I can change it 20 times before starting the seeds.

I'm stunned Marc, honestly. I have a miniature curing barn, somewhat similar to your cigar case. But these cigars you're making are out of this world!
