Finishing wrapping the sticks that went into the mold yesterday. One of my flags that I normally finish with and make some sort of flag was too short. Instead of cutting a new flag, I used a chap stick lid to cut a traditional cap and successfully finished two cigars with a traditional Cuban triple cap. Pretty damn stoked about that! I need to go to Home Depot and get a piece of brass tube to sharpen to start doing this regularly.

So, is it fun or frustrating?
Both!! But more fun than frustrating. I am a bit ocd and a bit of a perfectionist so I get kinda pissed if something doesn't turn out well. If I'm not in a good mood, I won't roll because that will translate into my work. I find cranking some good tunes and having a tasty beer keep me in a happy place while I roll.

Got some test blends wrapped with a few different wrappers tonight. The best stick of the day and maybe even the best looking one I've ever rolled.


Hi, my name is Jonathan and I'm addicting to home rolling...

I was going to pick out some minor flaw and jokingly needle you on it, but I can't find one. Great looking cigar. At least on the side we can see.
