What got you into the cigar rolling hobby? and Why roll your own?

Happy Birthday BH

Today is my birthday and this is probably one of the best presents I'm going to get!

I got started rolling because I have a major diy addiction. I brew my own beer, I roast my own coffee, I make my own sausage, and I build ar15s. Not so much to save money, but I have particular taste and if I want something a certain way it usually comes out best when I do it myself. On a homebrewing forum I'm on there was a cigar thread and a guy there started rolling his own so naturally I had to give it a try. Like any other hobby I get involved in, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing and now I'm working on transitioning from a home-roller to going pro because I have a huge passion for it and unless everyone has been lying to me, I've gotten pretty decent at blending and with the help of a gentleman from Cuba who has mentored me, my rolling skills have greatly improved from where I started.

You mean moving is the best gift you have right now...
