Cuban triple cap infographic

[waikikigun]

This is something I made to codify and share my notes on cap making, which are derived from me deconstructing and studying a dozen of my favorite triple-capped cigars. I reckon y'all know this stuff but if it's of some help to one beginner someday than my hour in Photoshop will not have been in vein.

It's also at my cigar blog, where it is probably bigger and easier to read: http://blisscigar.co/post/128209877336/how-to-make-a-cuban-triple-cap-for-your-cigar

There's a typo in the above graphic, which I've fixed in the blogged version.

++ on the props. Great Grafix.

This would have helped much in my early comprehension. Hell, it helps alot in my present comprehension.

Thanks.

Great, Lew! I'm stoked if even a vet can get something out of it.

Here's a couple photos of my caps. The first is sort of the ideal that I describe in the infografix. The second is more like what typically happens, which is a cap influenced by and/or held together by the concept of the ideal. This is pretty much how it manifests in actual Cuban cigars. You can see that they are influenced by the concept, but only hit it spot-on ~30% of the time. But it appears to be the unifying force.

Very nice indeed. What is Gelato?

 

[waikikigun]

Thanks. Gelato is a certain combo of binder and wrapper.

Looks like the dude in the video you posted elsewhere totally studied my capping grafix and vein ripping vid.
