Marc,
The upper flying pig photo looks the tastiest. (However, forensic analysis has determined that the upper maduro and the lower rosado are the very same cigar!) Your rolling is truly brilliant.

[MarcL]

Yeah. I wanted to see what it would look like in a maduro so, I turned the flash off. not really but, it is the corojo oscuro though. .. thanks Bob.

I don't have much on tasting notes for you but, it's sweeter then I thought it would be and a nice deep flavor. I haven't had any of the burn issues but it is a fairly thick leaf. no vein problems. typical sun grown. it will stretch into a nice sheen for sure. I do like the other WLT corojo wrapper more though. I sure hope we could get both in the future.

Marc,

Is this wrapper from the current WLT stock ?

Hopefully. It may be. but, that leaf was purchased the last time it was listed. I do have some coming on Saturday though.

This is my first run with the Flojo, as well as the Maduro wrapper.

The wrapper was quite thick but very pliable / flexible.

Great picture and rolling of those Marc. You help us strive to roll better.

 

[AmaxB]

I agree you can almost smell the goodness. Just had to come look

Love that CT shade leaf, what a wonderfully delicate wrapper.

 

[MarcL]

I can't seem to get the olive to come out so much it seems in this one. the other 2 are from my earlier pic. two of them came out of the same bag of that EC shade. double claro

 

[charlie G.]

Marc I have tried using the CT Shade before and it came out blotchy after sitting and drying a while. Could it be from over casing it ?
I like the mild taste and look but need help getting it just right when rolling.

 

[MarcL]

I can get the thinner and lighter shade leaves to stain easily by over casing to quickly. or, having the bunches to wet to have the wrappers applied. they just cant take being as wet as something thicker.

less then an hour old. criollo, piloto, nic, flojo, corojo inside criollo 98 .. wow. I sure do like this wrapper.
