Given the rustic texture and rusty color of this Rosado wrapper, I was persuaded to whack the heads off these coronas and call the shape Uppowoc Steampunks.
Equal parts Piloto seco and Rene seco, bound in Dominican seco, wrapped with a Nic Rosado. Actually smells darn good. Smokes OK, but I hope they mellow with aging.

I never came up with anything remotely smoke-able with that wrapper, over a span of two pounds and three years. Just one of those bad-tasting things that kills what it gets near, in my experience. Wishing you the opposite luck of mine.

If you’re talking the WLT Rosado I came up with one I enjoyed a ton and friends have as well:
1 piloto cubano ligero, ½ esteli ligero, 1 t13 viso, 1 cubra seco, nica binder
I'm still monkeying with the blend
Tried a Honduran Cuban Seed for the binder this morning... but that leaf is too weak to bind
May try the Indonesian wrapper to bind ... also very weak, but easy to double layer ... dunno why I think that may be a flavor fit ... doesn't blend with much
Have a rad new band prepared
You got the color right, Bliss. My pic paled out the rusty wrapper, for some reason. Not much of a photographer, I spose.
Think I got the blend right. Indonesian binder did the trick. Mellowed out the whole interplay. Course, the Indo starts out as wrapper about as thin as onion skin. So I lay noth sides of a leaf over one another, then fold them longitudinally. So you essentially have four layers. Only way to get strength. Still burns fine, cause onion skin thin per layer. But the Indo does something for the Rosado. So it's equal parts piloto and rene seco, quadruple-bound by Indo wrapper, wrapped in Nic rosado.
Also seems to smooth the texture, by making a super smooth binder for the Rosado to lay on.

Color balance is some tricky shit sometimes. Especially in winter light.
First stick of 2020
Also made some rope twists for the project I’ve been working on

Forgot to post these the other day. Not bad after not rolling anything in like 4 months
The nicest way to put it is that my life has been going through the sewer the last few months, but I’m taking control and making the changes I need to
That stinks!
