I just want the variety. Zillions of nations and farms and leaves and we're basically stuck with the same shit year in, year out, because we don't understand the game. Knowledge is strength and we're stuck in a pitiful state of ignorance.
Hi and thank you, I have smoked a couple of my "homegrown" cigars and they do not taste good yet. I believe that I had wrong kind of tobacco in this first year as a leaf grower, Mostley there was leaf for pipe tobacco and some Rustica needs more time to be finished. I did a fermentation on all leafs for 30 days (until the leafs smelled great). For 2018 I have purchased seeds for cigar rolling.
Love that Ecuadorian spice. I’ve been using a lot of that leaf lately.2 pounds of binder, heaven #

That all looks nice! what I want to get is that Brazilian Cubra Seco Filler. What I noticed for a while now is that they have been out of Dominican binder. maybe thats why its not in you pile there?Just realized as I opened this forgot to order more Dominican binder. Doh!! The olor ligero smells wunnerful though
I have been using the Cubra Seco for some weeks now and can highly recommend it, as part of the great suite of LO secos.
Then I won't bother with a sample size. thanks
Ya, I ordered a quarter and then ordered a poundo a week later.
What's it taste like, Blake?

I'm just glad to get what we do. Way more varieties than even I can stash.
You know, you're right and I forgot to order from Don. Don's filler used to be superior, but what I've been getting from LO lately has been inpressing me as long as I can remember to order ahead of time and be patient. I still need my corojo and criollo and will never leave Don in the dust completely, but when my fillers start coming more as crumbles instead of whole leaves I get a little bitter. I'm far from his largest account so I don't bother addressing it, the leaf is still usable but it doesn't seem to be what it used to be while LO is going the opposite direction and improving quality
To me it tastes like piloto cubano seco with a touch of kitchen spice and a little bit of zing. It is a dark colored leaf but not too thick, and like all recent LO secos, in excellent size and condition. My guess is that it is PC, but I reckon it could also be Olor.
I have Jorge ligero that I haven't used. Otherwise I think I'll make the same order. We should trade a few.This order is a very basic complete rollers' kit, featuring volado, seco, and ligero, plus a binder that doubles as a wrapper. This volado is a rich and creamy "seco," and this seco is a darkish almost viso-esque leaf; so all the semantical troubles of leaf naming are accounted for.
I'm actually looking for good yellow wrapper. Is that nica binder(wrapper) fitting that bill for you?
No, I'm using that as my brown wrapper. Right now I'm using FX Smith for yellow. If I couldn't get that then I'd order some from Jorge.
