Greetings!
My name is Nathaniel and I live in Calgary, Canada. I’ve been smoking cigars and pipes for, gosh, thirteen years now?
I am currently a school bus driver and won my provincial “road-eo” in 2018 which meant I could compete in the international competition in Philadelphia. This included five hundred dollars in spending cash. I of course spent every penny of that on about fifty cigars!
I have been wanting to try rolling my own cigars since ChinaVoodoo rolled one for me a couple years back. I bet my wife it would take me at least four tries to get something smokable. She took the long odds and said I’d get it first go. Well, I am happy to report that she won the bet! I rolled a rather corpulent robusto from the Oscuro y Rico kit from WLT after watching the “how to roll your first cigar” by Robert Davis on YouTube, so credit to Robert on didactic prowess.
It’s nice to cut out the medio man, so to speak, and I am excited to improve and get creative with this!
I will attempt to attach a picture or two of my first cigar...

Welcome from me in NZ as well. You seem to be mastering the art of rolling, it will only get better.

I have been looking at the cigar blend kits from WLT.
I see you bought the Oscuro y Rico is this a nice cigar.
It has no reviews on the WLT site, can you review it on WLT maybe when your done?

I may get review it in the future, though I can give give you a couple impressions from the three cigars I have so far enjoyed from it. Keep in mind I am winging the proportions...
Big flavour notes are cocoa and peat with sweet spice (kinda nutmeg-ish) in the background. So far I would recommend but I do prefer a more peppery flavour.
It is reasonably strong considering there's no ligero in the blend, but it is bold in flavour.

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated, it looks like you already have a review ready.
