My technique has changed, and I haven't made a video about that yet. I do more of a traditional single cap now, which requires quite a lot of technique and practice and several cuts to get the head to close properly. I will get around to a video someday.

Nice photo.
I suppose that, because this series is based on a Blissblend, I eventually stumbled, completely by accident, upon a hemispherical head similar to those which he fabricates regularly. But then, because I ain't him, I inadvertently folded back a bit of flag like a suit coat lapel:
All in all, I long for the eyes of my youth, when I was able to make what I envisioned. Can't even properly edge a tool these days, cause I can't see the flat on the edge.

I won't lie, a hemispheric cigar head does give me a certain feeling.

Only half-dozen Arrobamientos to go before the series is completed.
Here's a pair of smooth dolls went in the mold this morning, about to be turned 90 degrees to remove mold marks:
A pair of FXSS wadsters in the conditioning chamber now will wrap these this afternoon.

Here's one I rolled while on Christmas vacation...
Its core is corojo seco, viso , ligero, bound in Nic habano seco. Wrapped it with a criollo wrapper.
After getting past the part that wasn't pressed, the flavors came together nicely. Before that there was just pepper...

That's pretty big.
Four coronas rolled in celebration of the Browns making the divisional playoff.
Used a flat pick as a template for the band label.
Kitchen sink filler, candela and San Andreas wrappers.
Switched from pectin to Acacia senegal sap (aka gum arabic) for glue. Beats the pectin for flow and stickiness, but leaves a gloss on the wrapper and my caps still suck anyway. Guess there is no glue that covers up the need for more practice.
Nice cigar Jim D and I'm super impressed with how clean the you keep the floor of your wood shop.
