Ah. Your classic Uppowoc Mataloto: mata fina, piloto cubano, bound & wrapped in WLT habano 2000. Those have about a year and a half on them. I only have maybe three left. I can roll them prettier now, but I can't get hold of the same H2k wrapper. I wish that stuff would come back. The newest WLT H2k smells ten times yummier, but doesn't have the texture, color, or even burn.

Ahh mata fina, that's why it was delicious!

Seriously, that burn line was perfect.

hey Bliss, you rolled these cigars with a mold ?
Just asking for the square head !
I just started rounding my bunch with sizzers instead of the chavetta and it works faster and better result !

Don't rightly remember, it was a long time ago I rolled those particular sticks. Yes, I did use a mold.

Rolling session no. 3 I got a little cheeky and put an "Amazon Basin" band on one. Every day I see a little more improvement.

Hey Luckyace those are looking good.
If I can make a suggestion... since you aren't using a mold I would suggest you get something hard and flat like a piece of wood or a hard cover book. Use it like a rolling pin and after the binder is on, roll the stick back and forth between the hard book (?) and the table to make it more smooth and to distribute the bunch a bit more even. This is done before the wrapping. At least that's what I do.

I'll give that a shot. Hopefully I can get back to it tonight
