Pics of your sticks!!

[DGBAMA]

This will be an interesting comparison; all four from the same batch, the two on the left are as rolled, the two on the right spent 3 weeks in the kiln. Color change is obvious. The proof will be in how they smoke.

Dang Bama, you're rolling some mighty pretty cigars. Mine look like I make them ugly on purpose. (maybe that's what I should tell people)

Can't wait to hear an update on the taste difference DGBAMA.
How old is the tobacco? Something you have grown this year??

I been using a sheet metal wrapper pattern I traced off a wrapper I unrolled off a perfecto. Doesn't look much like that. But then my perfecto mold looks to spit out a different shape too. Yours appear plumper on one end. Mine come out more consistent thickness. One end is pointier than the other.

I gotta master this. Soon as the weather breaks enough for some serious garage time.

Filler leaf is mostly from WLT cigar sampler, with some of my 2013 Silver River added; wrapper and binder are my 2013 Havanah. Will update on flavor change when they have been smoked.

Enough said. With filler from WLT, I know they will both be great!!

P.S. I still want an update though!!

Couple of new sticks.

 

[DGBAMA]

those look good. makes me want to sit down for another rolling session.

Man...

Just thinking how long it'll be till I can sit down an roll one of my own up like that. The wait is gonna kill me. I know when the day comes, it will all be worth it. DGBama, from the time you started seed till the time you were able to roll some cigars - How long do you think it's been? I plan to have the fridge ready for curing.

Excellant on the rolling job guys. Looks great. I ordered Madole seeds from Skychaser. Hoping to get some good wrappers from them.

Just curious but were you thinking Maduro wrapper when you ordered the Madole Dark?

Those sticks are looking good, nice oily shine on the wrapper. Mine does have a dull look. What did you use as wrappers? Enjoy.

Thanks Ben!
The wrapper is an Oscuro Maduro.

Thanks DGBAMA!

I'm concidering another session myself, but my hummies are full!

there are worse problems to have

Yes, you are correct!

This is a good problem! I'm making room right now..

 

[Dean]

had a play with the new mould.
I like it a lot although I believe these may have to be pulled apart and packed tighter, there are soft spots in a few now they have dried off a bit. I now have a reasonable idea of how much filler I need.

For Todd, top of box AIDA 55 B
side of box front left 14 front right A

nothing on back or bottom.

length 98mm x 16mm straight with tapered ends.

cheers

 

[Indianamac]

They look good Dean!

 

[DGBAMA]

They look good. And a high case wrapper leaf rolled tightly should firm them up a bit too.

 

[jekylnz]

They look great Dean...and that's a nice mould for the price you paid..especially how little you can find them down our way..its a good score. .looks like a European one..Netherlands.. Germany or something
.alot of the german/dutch ones I've seen are in good condition like that made with the same light colour wood..same sort of design. .like D.G.B said..with a good tight high case wrap they maybe fine and firm up . .
I wouldn't rip them up..they are fine.....do you think they would be 55 gauge?

 

[jekylnz]

Dean I found this link..says they're from the Eindhoven..Netherlands. .
