In English, we have an idiom "a stick of furniture", as in: "They just moved in and they don't have a stick of furniture." Among cigar smokers, we often call a cigar a "stick". Therefore, to name a cigar Ikea is apt.

That's a very attractive stick, by the way.

Haaahaaa... this is SO TRUE! Now it's a 'Lick of Furniture' lol... wonder if they got that from naughty pets always licking and gnawing on furniture or from naughty humans doing similarly? hmmmm.... in that case would a Cracker Barrel Label be suitable? :cigar::hilarious::LOL::kiss:

@blisscigarco , If you would be so kind, would you share your thoughts on this blend? And what ratio did you use for the leaves?
I just made an inventory sheet and want to try my latest addition, the Nic Hab Ligero. Your blend above is one of the hits I found searching BOTL Roller's forum...

My notes for that say things like "Not terrible nor awesome. Could use more flavor." My blend for that stick was seco-heavy to compensate for the viso wrapper, and in that case it didn't yield enough "juice." It was like 3:1:1 (seco:viso:ligero).

I have a lot (3 years) of experience with those leaves. For a long time I used the NHS as a binder, but now I don't. I do think that it's one of the better WLT leaves tho. And for a long time I liked that Corojo viso a lot; now I don't nearly as much and no longer "stock" it. It lost some magic somewhere along the line. The ligero, after all these years, I haven't fully come to grips with. I keep making things with it that are too strong for me when I use it; which might be great for you, no idea. I'm going to try some new things with it (I have about a pound in reserve) when my LO order comes in sometime next week.

My suggestion is to take your favorite seco and roll a stick with it and snudge in different amounts of that NHL (1/2 leaf, leaf, 1.5 leaves....) and see what happens. That's what I'd do.

I received some Nic Habano Ligero from WLT just before xmas, just broke it out tonight, did a double Ligero along with some Dom Seco and Piloto Cubano Viso both from WLT, bound it in some Nic (Habano) that i got from Ruiz Customs in Reno (he was kind of vague on the origins)
The Ligero smells wonderful, have you tried that 1? going to wrap them with the Nic Habano wrapper i got from the same place.IMG_1719.JPG

I smoked this one in the pic yesterday ... smoking another one now... I like the one I'm smoking this morning VERY much. The burn is PERFECT and the flavor profile is excellent.

I've been doing Beveled Edge Open Caps for a few years now but this was the first time I used Black Honey on the closure. I use honey just not the black one... it seals SO much better! Here's a pic ... from the forward look you can't tell that they are open cap... they just look like regular cap till you turn them up like this... then you see the beveled edge ... the honey creates a light seal on the exposed tobacco... you simply tongue the hole a lil and the seal releases :ROFLMAO: I swear I can't help myself!
