Has anyone ever scheduled a meet up event"? I would appreciate the opportunity to sit down with fellow rollers and learn how to do a proper triple Cuban cap. I do pigtails because its serviceable and easy, but I always feel like a poser when I lay them out on the table.
Rolling meet up
- Thread starter ras_oscar
- Start date
I'm not a talented roller but I can make a decent looking stick. I was thinking about reaching out to my local cigar community to see if anyone wanted to get together to try rolling. I would be the teacher and supply the leaf. While I'm no expert, I do know a ton more than when I first started rolling so I figure newbes would really appreciate learning from me. Rolling a cigar is something that many people would never have the opportunity to try. I figure I could accommodate 5 or 6 people and everyone could roll 2 cigars each. The cost would be one cigar donated to my humidor.
Has anyone ever done anything like this? ( I don't mean to hijack this thread but it is a related question)

Ras, approximately where are you located?
That's a cool idea. If i ever make it to hilly billy herf (HBH), I plan on doing just that!

I'd be down (up?) for that if it was from here (Michigan) to the east coast or so. I don't think I can make it to Los Vegas as has been talked about.
I am in northern Dull-Aware. I will PM you my coordinates and digits. It might be easy for you and I to get together. We might even rope in a couple more.

A roller meetup sounds good. Everyone could bring a variety of their own favorite leaf. Could be a great learning and fun BOTL get together.
Hey what part of Michigan are you in? I’m in Southgate.
Got your PM. You're about 2 hours away, so it is definitely doable. If you get a location, date, and others, shoot me another PM. Tell me if I need to bring a table, or just my board and leaf. Also, I make a pretty mean pulled pork.

We're pretty close together.Got it, didn’t think to look there
You've made your own cigars already?
Yeah we are pretty close.
No not yet, been reading about it, I’m really thinking about trying it though.

Let me know if you would like to see the whole process. I’ll be happy to walk you through it and you can see how I do it.
Wow, thank you. That would be great.
So let's do it. The weather has turned nice. I have a roomy smoking porch, cedar lined. It has a craft table the size of a door as well as a drafting table that's even bigger, so we have loads of surface to work on. I have forty or fifty pounds of leaf. I even have a spare rolling block. We can roll 'em and smoke 'em. Easy to get to off I-95. Or if someone wants to volunteer a venue farther West, I'm up for a ride.
Ras_oscar, it was your idea, so let's task you with scheduling and recruitment. Cook a plan I'm in.
