Pics of Your Sticks

[Marc L]

Marc, this is a very complex shape, and very interesting because of that. What type of figurado is this? Is it a type of perfecto? Does it have a history or a context? And just to show my complete ignorance about it, which end is the foot and which the head? What a nice smooth wrap, by the way.

Yes. Salomone, a type of perfecto. History? I say market driven. Cut the right, lite the left.

This one is no cut lite the right. same mold.

What wrapper is that? It looks a lot like Bobalu Habano in these pics.

It is a LO Ecuador Shade seco. It spent a bit over a day in a ziploc bag getting moistened up for rolling after having it in its original bag sent out in my 2019 Black Friday purchase.
I don't roll very fast...

Last Sticks of 2020, and Thoughts on Lessons Learned

A short one for time in the shop tonight....

Its center is a Brazilian Habano Viso, with Dominican Volado around that. Bound with a Dominican binder and wrapped in Criollo wrapper. Smells great, seems to linger more in my nose than on my tongue. The wrapper is the dominant flavor on this blend.

As it is in most of my blends.

Petite coronas. 37-40 x 5"
Filler is 1/2 leaf each of Nicaragua Jalapa ligero, Dominican Piloto Cubano seco and Honduras seco.
Nicaragua binder and San Andreas wrapper.
I bunched these on the table rather than in the hand because they were so skinny. And also because the hand isn't a flat surface so sometimes it is difficult for me to feel which areas need additional tobacco to create a uniform diameter.

Winter in Minnesota, chilling with some petite coronas. Used a DR Piloto Cubano seco leaf for binder in these. Those seco leaves were rather small so both halves were needed for one binder. These are 5 x 36-38.
