That is a glorious sight! Leaf Excellence! Just look at those ripples... that fine ash... that ring is committed!... the dress on that beauty is of genuine Indian leather... remarkable MOTL... remarkable... I'm sure she tasted as magnfic as she looks! I'm a big fan of Honduran leaves.Home after a 7 weeks swing of work !
Lot's of rain here, but yesterday evening I went to the beach to smoke this 54 X 5.5" all Honduran blend.
The cigar was rolled 6 months ago with tobacco I bought 1.5 year ago.
I made a promise to myself not to smoke cigars anymore under 6 months !!
So I better start rolling !!
Today I finished the shelves in my tobacco bodega, next week I install the door.
Will post some pics when finished.

House Blend - 5.5x42 - Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper. Decent flavor, but a pain to deal with. Glad I only bought a 1/4lb.

I liked BRZ Mata Fina a lot. I didn't see any bad from the pic, what's the pain of dealing with them?House Blend - 5.5x42 - Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper. Decent flavor, but a pain to deal with. Glad I only bought a 1/4lb.
That's the arapiraca wrapperI liked BRZ Mata Fina a lot. I didn't see any bad from the pic, what's the pain of dealing with them?
I've not used Mata Fina, so I can't compare, pictured is Arapiraca. The leaves were long, but very skinny. It doesn't have any stretch either, getting it to lay down was a problem.I liked BRZ Mata Fina a lot. I didn't see any bad from the pic, what's the pain of dealing with them?
Those colors are gorgeousI just like this pic of a Cuban wrapper prep dude.

It does require more effort than other leaf and it is best suited for smaller ring gauges. I find the flavor is worth the effort if you get the right filler combo though. I like using the difficult leaf, it makes using the easy stuff that much better when I go back to it and it makes me a better roller.I've not used Mata Fina, so I can't compare, pictured is Arapiraca.

I've used both. With the bags I got, the MF was basically larger and stretchier than the Arap, and that's the difference, as Nic said. But I didn't have too much trouble getting it to lay down. Might have taken me a little longer to get into wrapping condition.I liked BRZ Mata Fina a lot. I didn't see any bad from the pic, what's the pain of dealing with them?
A couple of new ones, and my new "lighter".
Do not make excuses for perfection my smokie King. ~xoxThanks Remix !
It was a bit overfilled but since I store my cigars at Rh 62 because of the high humidity here it smoked very slow but with a decent draw, hence the fine ripples
