..my bad, I thought you were over on http://fairtradetobacco.com/HA!!! Good one!!!!Now.... WHAT dare I ask is FTT?
I wish I had the time to roll for 8 hours a day... I average about 2, the day job and family keep me busy. I find that interestingI get a bit of a tight rubbery feel to my hands... like they have rubble gloves on them... I woke up in the morning and my eyes and tongue felt tight like rubber lol that was after rolling with it for 8hrs.

Eight robustos (smoked the other two) wrapped in various Larry leaf. The three darkest are wrapped in his CBL; the outer two are in sungrown (I think) CT Shade; and the three caramel-toned ones (in real life this stuff looks like Cuban wrapper) are in his Corojo99. None of these are sold as wrapper; all as filler. You have to know how to case a leaf to get these things into a wrap-able state. The CBL, for example, arrives as dry crusty sticks crammed together into a hard brick, just as did the Havana901 used to bind all of these. It's all part of the fun.
Some splotchy habano wrapper on some monte edmundos from @ChuckMejia. You can really see the underfill in the right one!

Lmk how they smoke. I had one a few weeks ago and it was super good
Hell yeah! That wrapper needs to dry. Still one left to wrap... need to pick a wrapper
Edit: maybe a CT wrapper... but I've never used one, suggestions guys?

Well I've been busy thanks to Dom! Some fun blend tests that I'll outline below:
All of these follow the classic Brazilian villain blend: 2:2:1 MF(duh)om seco (in this case LO piloto):Nicaraguan ligero (criollo from WLT). Normally i bind and wrap with Ecuador habano.
Now the changes: left torpedoes have jalapa ligero instead of criollo, hopefully I'll see a change in the spice profile. The middle hermoso no. 4s (and one 54 rg shotgun slug, opps!) have the T13 instead of ligero (2 leaves, they are very thin surprisingly), hopefully these will be mild beauties. If that is the case, I'd love to tack on a CT wrapper, once again looking for opinions. The rightmost 48 rg half coronas are simply with Nicaraguan binder to see what happens!
In the drying box is a rosado wrapper test torpedo... I'll show that later. This wrapper is a beautiful color, but it seems a bit thick and actually a little tricky to work with since it doesn't have a lot of stretch. I'll reevaluate when it dries.
@Dominican56 any of these sound tasty to you? I'll still need to get you back!

In this vid I nab a Solo. I'm the guy breaking cover from the house because Rockboy was in the final circle and I wasn't, but somehow I nail him on the run:
And this is a Duo win, me and ChrisKirkman, last week:
Yes, it IS cigar-related.

Damn we'll have to play soon!
Let me know what you think, i still like the Ec. Viso, but i think there is variance in the thickness/stretch within the same pound

That guy relied wayyyy too much on his M24, it's not strong enough anymore at end game/close range. Good kill!

This is a sexy blend!!
I had done this one before but it was wrapped in Ec Shade and the flavors were good but it was missing something. So I felt that a Maduro wrapper would round it out and help the flavors marry as well as add some sweetness.
I was right! Sweet, smooth, with a little spice, leather, coffee and i one point i tasted vanilla! I wanna roll a bunch of them and let them age.
