My camera really highlighted all the veins and details, i think the picture is gorgeous (#bragging), but there's no coffee or nature scene in the background, so i have things to learn...
Knowing you, PA broadleaf and Mata Fina. If I'm right, you're killing me with that Brazilian wrapper, I have a helluva time getting it that smoothMy camera really highlighted all the veins and details, i think the picture is gorgeous (#bragging), but there's no coffee or nature scene in the background, so i have things to learn...
As for the wrapper, there are 2 different ones... any guesses? Should be easy with me

The one on the left is Brazilian, the right is Ecuador ligero, real nice to work with!
LOL. So many cliches in social media cigar photography.but there's no coffee or nature scene in the background, so i have things to learn...
Not only is the Ec ligero great to work with, I think it's one of the best tasting wrappers I can get my hands on. That's just my tastes though. Are you using thin strips of the Brazilian to get it that smooth? Teach me your secret!! Lol
This is where i hit the veins with a little copper pipe to make them behave. It's such a thin and delicate wrapper, you really need to be careful. I've torn many wrappers stretching them too far
Now that is a sexy cigar! I'll take a 5er of marshmallow mata fina blendA little more practice with the Mata Fina wrapper today after seeing what Brenden could do with it. This leaf requires patience and a delicate hand, but I was able to nail this one imo and didn't even have to flatten the veins with anything other than the bunch. When you nail it with this leaf you can get it to look damn near seamless. I will probably try binding and wrapping with this leaf for my straight ligero blend I'm planning. Either that or bind with Nica Habano seco.
Lol!! The Mata Fina works extremely well in this blend too. It has this malty molasses sweetness thing going on that really compliments the marshmallows. First time I've done it in the lonsdale format though so I'm excited to give this one a try.Now that is a sexy cigar! I'll take a 5er of marshmallow mata fina blend

WANT!Introducing the Hooligan triple ligero. 1/2 leaf Jorge ligero, 1 leaf Piloto cubano ligero(WLT), 1 leaf criollo ligero(WLT) bound with Ecuadorian Habano seco from LO. I plan to wrap these tomorrow with Brazilian Mata Fina from LO. Haven't settled on a blend name yet, but leaning towards "Throat Punch".
Why does it seem like every time I get ready to roll my own blend you post it?Introducing the Hooligan triple ligero. 1/2 leaf Jorge ligero, 1 leaf Piloto cubano ligero(WLT), 1 leaf criollo ligero(WLT) bound with Ecuadorian Habano seco from LO.

Well I think we have pretty much the same leaf in our kits so there's only so much we can do. I also roll anywhere from 10-15 a day during the week so you can imagine I have a metric assload of blends I've rolled.
