Hooligan-

Where is your shop? I'm coming into town for spring training and would like to see it.

I just roll at home. Either in my bedroom in between work calls as I work from home, or out in the garage/man cave. I am in Gilbert. Just give me some advance notice so I can give the war department a heads up.

I've moved to somewhere in Arizona
Leaf from Jorge just landed. Got the binder coming up to case and the ligero is ready to roll with already. Now that I have Dominican ligero again I'm going to roll up some of my marshmallow blend to see how it compares to the WLT leaf.

Ecuadorian binder:

Dominican ligero:
Did you hand Willy on of your marshmallows?

Wish I woulda got Jorge's Ec binder instead of his Habano wrapper. His wrapper is giving me nightmares. Just finished filling a box w/ 25 w/ his filler bound & wrapped w/ his hab wrapper. Not a one in the batch is truly presentable. Smells great; leaves lumps. That Ec binder looks decidedly better. Compare the size of those veins with these, from Jorge's wrapper:

How do you wrap a decent looking stick out of that?
I went ahead and prepped a batch of 11 of his veiny hab wrapper last night. It's in the fridge getting damp now. I think I'll use just the outer edge as binder then throw the rest in a tupperware for use as filler. I'll mix it with Don's Honduran Hab fiasco. At 65 bucks a pound, it driving my per stick cost thru the roof. I sure am running thru my quota of bad batches of stuff lately. Bound to happen eventually I spose.



That Ec binder looks a lot like WLT's H2k wrapper, don't you think?

I love beer so I brew my own, I love coffee so I roast my own, I love cigars and after seeing what @HIM* could roll at home and sampling some of his creations I decided I too would try to roll my own. I watched countless hours of videos on how to roll online before even placing an order for leaves. ..

Thanks for looking!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Awesome Effort! ~xox

That almost looks like he sold the stuff he wouldn't use.There is no way he could be rolling commercial cigars using that.I thought broadleaf was veiny , that stuff is nasty.
