Pics of Your Sticks

Wet it, drained it, rolled it up tightly, packed it up tightly, kept it in a darkish place and checked it every couple days until the sourness and ammonia were gone. Might not be technically re-fermentation, but it changes the leaf a lot, in a way I want.

That's pretty cool. I read somewhere you can add a heat source too. I haven't had the time or energy to experiment with that, but it's good to know it worked.

Oldschool methods recommend keeping it 70f-90F when you do this.

And does this improve the burn?
Or did you find any way to deal with fire proof stuff?

I just had one with oscuro Corojo. It burned like a dream. I haven't had one yet that failed to burn.

2/3 are capped using @blisscigarco 2 cap method. The others using a modified Dominican flag cap method. The latter is much easier.

Thanks - wrapped in the LO Ecuadorian Seco "binder." I'd say that out of the pound I opened that over 75% is wrapper quality.
A lot of others must have found the same thing cause it is now out of stock on their website.

only two strays this time..

 

[nickgarrett]

Couple small ones for blend testing. Having a real hard time getting a good draw on these small ring gauge ones.
