Pics of Your Sticks

Amazing how a mold makes them so much better lol. This mini perfecto mold is great. It's a great 30-45 min smoke size. Long way to go on wrapping and caping.

I ran out of prepped wrapper again but, used the new Vuelta Abajo Binder on one instead.

How'd you like that binder? Sample I got was pretty thick. Thicker than probably every binder I've tried. Not sure how well it will burn.

A whole lot. It has that Vuelta Abajo note that the other Cibao Vuelta Abajo stuff has. Not thick. I did see your purchase post in that other thread and, I'm not sure if I trust your opinion. It makes me wonder what your looking at but, I really don't trust anyone's opinion but my own anyway.

..going through the pound I got, I do see a few leaves that are thicker. It makes me wonder if you got all thick ones.

@Jimmy_jack These are those sticks we bunched and rolled on Youtube Live the other night, minus the maduro which I already smoked. Raunchy wrappers but we'll call them character-rich.

Nice That was great info you shared.

I only got 4 leaves just a sample. Was just wondering if all the leaves are like that. It resembled my HVA ligero more than the seco

Not sure if you can see it or not from the pic but these are some pretty heft leaves.

Doesn't mean they won't burn!

My friends made me a 3d printed mold. Can't wait to try it. Wondering if I should sand it?

is it just me or do you all see large creases in his future? .. rotate early and often.

Yup definitely, the gaps are pretty large there

Will do. It was $free.50 so it's something to learn on and mess with. I'll post up the resukts.

Nice! if you get the first 2nd 0r 3rd rotation in at one/two minutes, you can get any seams out. With a gap like that, if the first pressing isn't rotated soon enough, nothing will get them out.

.. something else, is if you go more of a 110º/120º instead of the 90º turn it will kind of fold over the crease instead of presses down on top of the crease.

Is that desired?

I think it helps. Early rotation (before the seam has a chance to dry) really helps. Binding at the right RG for the mold does a lot too.

I agree with and understand this part. I didn't know how to interpret the info about how far to rotate the stick, 90 degrees vs 110-120 degrees. Which of those do you find preferrable?
