Haha, my bunching skills have improved! The entubato and double binders I used look quite Cuban. But I was too hasty with the wrapper; I didn't humidify it or prepare it properly. Next time I'll improve my wrapping technique, but I'd rather use glue and a pigtail than make a cap.IMG_20260418_201500.jpgIMG_20260418_225700.jpgIMG_20260418_230244.jpg

It burned right, and got 2-3 inch ashes, so lets say okay construction.
But its a seco dominated blend, sure needs lots of viso and ligero to bump up the strength.

Questions:
Is it okay to use viso/seco as binder?
If a ligero is light fermentated, should I just using it as viso?
