I have learned more from this whole series “From Seeds to Smokes” than from any other videos (beside yours). I only wish that people in Cuban factories would watch it. Having Cubans readily available in Canada I must have discarded over 20 cigars this year alone because of poor rolling. Now this a little beside the point for home rollers but this entire set of videos is probably one of the best from start to end.
On the bunching, I remembered reading a comment from Marc L where he was saying that he was using a similar style of bunching.
Great video.

In this instance, semantical distinctions are eclipsed by real accomplishment. You know, it's one thing for a selected prodigy of thirty years' experience, having learnt at the knee of the master, now rolling 500 a day for Davidoff, to produce an impeccable gar. It's quite another for a retired tango teacher, learning on his own, in his spare time, to produce as fine a cap as a man could want. Call it triple, fipple, nipple or stipple ... who cares?

And yet.... my curiosity still lingers over what this person believes to be the meaning of the compound noun triple cap, "As it is commonly understood in the industry." And why he believes "Even Cuban cigars only use single caps, LOL." Many of the videos he made this comment on very explicitly show the "three-layered" effect of the caps as I roll'em. Oh well. Some mysteries must remain as such.

I guess those are my two best options.
Right? .. well said. ... who cares? the wrong person (@blisscigarco )

Wow, great video once again, I just love the end when you close the mold as the music stop, well done. Is this what is called the estrujado« lazy entubado » method?

Thanks. No, that's regular ol' normal entubado. Maybe even tighter than regular entubado. I roll pretty tight because I'm keen on those 5-inch ashes.

Rolled two sticks yesterday to try Bliss’s technique from the video. Didn’t go bad at all. I ended up using two leaves of seco (5 grams) and two leaves of ligero (10 grams) so double the weight of ligero to make a 50rg by 7”.
Now, I have a feeling that this could be on the stronger side, will try one tonight. I’ll keep a bag of candy nearby just in case.

Those look pretty awesome. Doesn't seem like you're giving your blends a ton of time to marry nor your leaf much chance to recover from the trauma, but hey, they look hot.Rolled two sticks yesterday to try Bliss’s technique from the video.

Thanks a lot for the great video, as usual very informative and entertaining. I seriously wondered a while ago if there was something wrong with me when I received leaves that were advertised as binder (or wrappers) but couldn’t figure out how they could be used as such. Sure feels better now. Very generous of you for posting the videos.
