Nice smooth wrap on that one!!! Keep it up!
That's the thing about molding with paper. no guess work on how much leaf to use. it all ways comes out the right shape.
Very nice Jim!
Smoked this test blend last night. Rolled in the small figurado mold bombed to me by @daleo8803. 1/2 leaf corojo seco, 1/2 leaf Piloto cubano viso, 1/2 leaf criollo ligero, Dominican binder, and wrapped in San Andres. This was a very tasty smoke and the aroma of the smoke was unique. I am officially a fan of the Piloto cubano now. I very distinctly was able to taste the nutmeg and hints of vanilla. Never be too quick to judge a leaf was the lesson learned. The first blend I tried Piloto in did not do it for me. Just like smoking individual lead on its own and trying to judge. I find that each leaf can behave different in different blends. This is why I have 27 different filler blends at the moment and most of those wrapped with 3 different wrappers. You throw enough stuff out there and eventually things start to stick. I need to make a more detailed spreadsheet of my blends along with tasting notes now to keep better track.
BA!! I could definitley see myself wanting to get into the hand rolls somewhere down the line. Until then I need to learn to crawl, before I learn to walk.

Put in a little work myself today. Dealing with some health issues that have made it so I can't smoke or drink any coffee or alcohol but that ain't gonna stop me from rolling.

How long are the two on the left? How do you bunch and bind them so long? I'm still working on getting a tight and consistent bunch that's barely longer than my hand is wide....
