Many.
Three Renes, two T-13s, and a Vuelta binder.
Sounds damn good to me.
Anyone venture to guess how many fectos I can manyfacture from these six pounds of goodness?
About fifty stix per twenty ounces of filler.
I myself was gonna guess about a buck fifty.
I spose I could keep count... but at the rate of two a day, we're talking summer, fore it's done.

That's unlikely, IMHO, since none of his leafs matched any leafs from those places. Yeah maybe he bought all his stuff years before I started buying from WLT or LO so it's possible. One time he was waiting for some stuff and said he had to go pick it up in Miami. Another time, when I ordered like ten pounds, he re-used a box he'd received some things in. Under a flap in the bottom of the box was a bill of sale from some place in Nicaragua to him. Of course that was from back when he still carried Nicaraguan filler....

There's a dude who got turned onto the idea of rolling by my videos and he asked for suggestions for his first score. He wanted pounds, not a kit. He said all either Dom or Nica. He said he intends to get four 1/4lb wrapper samples from LO. Here's what I suggested. Please give me feedback. Thanks:
"Here's some pounds you could consider, first from WLT: Rene seco. Piloto Cubano viso. Corojo99 ligero "Traditional," rather than the Cibao Valley version. At LO, along with your four wrapper types, get 1lb Dominican binder."
Yeah, I know a couple of you guys are up in arms over the Dom binder, but I've had nothing but great success with it.

Looks good. I recommend the criollo 98 seco and viso from wlt to people who ask. Current batch is great and I find it blends well with alot of other leaf. Ligero wise I like the corojo 99 and criollo 98 traditional over the CV.

Works good, tastes good. I'm in favor.
Here recently, I have been working thru a batch of Criollo wrapper that I have been using for binder. I like the idea of using a wrapper for binder, cause it gives you a smoooooth bunch. When you are laying something diaphanous like this thin FX CT shade on top, a smooth bunch surface is damn handy to lay your wrap on. Makes a diff. Otherwise, every squirrelly vein wants to bulge thru on you. Of course, this CVVA binder is not as smooth as that Criollo wrapper, nor is it as flexi. But, as you know, it's got one heck of a fine flavor. And if you are making coronas, you don't need all that flex. I switched up and rolled a pair of coronas the other night. So simple it was boring.
I'm embarking on a series of plumpfectos using a couple Rene seco, a couple T-13, bound w/ CVVA, wrapped in the shade. Burnt one this morning, had to fire up another, cause it just flat tastes right. But I'll paste a thing I messaged to AKpreacher the other day, elsewhere, about that.

I do believe I have as a buyer from what is said about it out there.

Like randomly in a pound of something you bought or specifically sold as Medio?
