That sounds like a tasty/well rounded blend and they look good too! That should yield something pretty close to my marshmallow blend, curious how it turns out.Rolled a pair this evening. Both of them are the same blend, not sure why they ended up such different sizes!

Hehe, I was just going to post and addendum to this saying that I used leaf I had on hand from the kits I've purchased trying to get as close as possible to your marshmallow blend.
Looks and sounds good!
So I smoked one of my last rolling session cigars last night, and I thought I detected some flavors that I really like in a cigar. I don't know what they heck they are, but it's something that I've tasted most of the Tatuaje cigars I've had, especially the small Veracu I had a couple weeks ago. So I decided to have my other home roll tonight despite my desire to wait a little while on it. The first third was a little spicy for my tastes. Not bad, but too much burn on the retro. I'm just past the mid point right now, and since the beginning of the second third, the cigar has really transitioned into something I really love a lot. It has that Tatuje cigar profile to me. There's still a little burn on the retro, but it's really smoothed out a lot. I couldn't be much happier with this! Going to try to roll a few more tonight, then I'll pretty much be out of one or two components so will have to change things up a little.
Damn this thing is good!
Damn this thing is good!
Tonight's rolling session. I accidentally put a whole leaf instead of half of leaf of Coro Seco in this one.

I agree 100%. Awesome thread!
So Im looking to make the best of a bad situation here and looking for some thoughts. I accidentally dropped a Tennessee Waltz busting the wrapper up beyond repair and instead of letting such fine leaf go to waste Im going to wrap it with something and see how it goes. Anyone thats smoked that blend, in any of its vitolas, have any input? Heres the options Ive got for wrapper....
CT Broadleaf - like the original blend
San Andres
Corojo 99 - multiple primings
Criollo 98 ligero
Ecuadorian Habano 2000 maduro

I love the original blend, I would try to wrap it with something similar. Possibly the San Andres though. That's a really tough decision.
If you want to duplicate it, I'd guess use a similar wrapper. If you've had them before and want to go crazy, I think it'd be fun to try something totally different.
Looking at the time it takes to produce, age the product, packaging, salaries for rollers, distribution, taxes, other expenses, etc it amazes me that companies can sell cigars for $5/ea or less and survive.
