Pics of Your Sticks

Got a couple molds filled yesterday, wrapping today and just nailed my first quad cap
Gotta finish up with these lonsdale extras and then wrap marshmallow robustos and toros. Hopefully either of these blends sounds good to Remix so we can take care of the trade I've been dragging ass on.

50rg x 4.5" robustos for the Blind Mans Puff reviewers
Dropped by the cigar lounge yesterday and paid $8.29 for this foolishness:
An Ashton sumthineruther... just ash now. I post this pic to encourage you rolling bros and hos by demonstrating how crappy a store stick can be. Lookit that cap. Lookit those veins. You mean to tell me, senor torcedor, you couldn't've found a patch of your CT shade wrapper leaf with smaller veins than that? Look how they spiral round near the foot. I know that I can roll a hunnerd percent better than this and still think my stix look like schidt -- and I ain't charging any eight bucks a pop, either. Yeah, there's some perfect rolls out there that nobody but MarcL and Bliss can imitate. On the other hand, most any beginner can roll one or two about as good as some of them Dominicans roll three hundred a day.
Think about it. You know how you get when you finish one, and you peer at it every angle, and you think "Goddamit! How'd I get that lump?" Then you resolve to try more carefully next time. This Dominican does not grok that feeling.

Thanks, Marc. I recorded some of it on video and I'll upload that later today, hopefully. Though I do do a couple wraps at the head with the main wrapper, I actually ended up covering that up. I do a thing where I slice the second cap such that as I wrap up and around near the end, I keep going back the opposite direction; so two lengths of the second cap.
