Those are some fine looking cigars. Is the chaveta made from some type of saw blade? Nice job.
Pics of your sticks!!

He rolls probably like I roll, but mine are without the fancy pillow!

It looks a lot like a partial diamond rock saw blade, at least that's my guess.

Yes you are right. and its a great chaveta
And I roll in two different way, I mean just for the dome.
one is with a pillow and one is in regular way.
Ok, I'll bite. What's a pillow? Is that one of those fancy smancy cigar aficionado terms?
Jan, your rolling is really improving. I've never rolled a single one that pretty in two years of rolling. Blue ribbon.

They look great. After two or three more triple caps you'll have it down with ease.

Thanks Knucklehead, with ups and downs, but every time I find a solution to the problems. That's what I like about rolling !!
The wrapper on the left is Pennsylvania Oscuro. It is darker then in the picture. I really like the color, but it is indeed a bit thick to make a nice wrapper.
The 2 on the left have a Criollo 98 wrapper. much better quality.
I just smoked the one on the left. It is a 52 gauge +/- 6 inches long. I never had to relight, tons of smoke ... I think that Penn. leave burns really well.
Sometimes it was a bit harsh most to the end. I had it 4 days in my humidor and I feel it is not long enough.
Next time I'll try to leave them at least 2 weeks.
I spoke to a guy who rolls cigars and he told me a MONTH is the minimum !

No, he actually took a pic of his cigars (earlier in the thread) ON a pillow!

A month is hard to do. I have noticed a change in some of my sticks, after letting them sit awhile in the humidor. I try to let mine rest, for atleast a week before sampling.
I have some Pennsylvania Oscuro and Criollo 98 wrapper, myself. Love them both.
Nice sticks by-the way !!
Thanks Indianamac. Indeed they are getting every time a bit better. 2 day's ago I smoked the middle one. I rolled it from everything that was left on the table, so don't now really what was in there. It was rolled really TIGHT, so tight I thought it would give me a hard time to smoke. But already when I lighted it if had a good draw. Still surprised how tight a cigar can be rolled and still smoking good. For the taste it was a bit light for me, a mild to medium, and a bit to earthy, but nevertheless I enjoyed smoking it.
Yesterday smoked the last of the 3 and that was tasting much better (filler = Para. Flojo + Nic. seco). I really enjoyed this one.
Still can't believe that after such a short while I can produce cigars of this quality.

Lol. My french is as good as my rolling, a little bumpy, occasionally crooked and sometimes tough going.
