On further thought maybe socks are inappropriate for the metaphor. I should probably call them an ascot instead. 
Pics of your sticks!!

Wow u know I never thought of that. According to the conversion chart I just checked I've got a 49 ring gauge wedding band. I'll have to keep that in mindNice ... it's officially a club!
The last time I dropped mine, it broke a slate tile. They're tough!
To keep this in line with the thread, what's your ring gauge? LOL
Mine is about a 50-52 and I do actually use it sometimes as an approximation for cigars.

This week’s efforts labeled and ready to age in the humidor. Obviously staying with the LOTR theme with this batch. A few are packed in my traveldor to take on a mini vacay to the hill country tonight!

Nice looking batch, Steve!
I really need to get more disciplined about rolling in quantity so I can age some.
Most of the time, I roll 3-5 and then end up on the back porch smoking one. LOL

What is the wrapper you are using?

Nicaragua Jalapa Rosado Wrapper, 1lb.
Grown and Air cured in Nicaragua, this wrapper is cured in the Dominican for over one year. The Rosado wrapper has an exceptional flavor that is not heavy handed. It will enhance the binder and filler…

First out of the box on vacay is the “Saruman of many colors”. Very chocolaty. No jokes about the bare feet - it’s freaking hot. But I’m not at work so it’s worth it!

Since its on the head what about calling it a balaclava?On further thought maybe socks are inappropriate for the metaphor. I should probably call them an ascot instead.
I reached into a bag of WLT Honduras Wrapper, and pulled out a runted, somewhat battered leaf to use as filler. During the process of stemming it, I was smitten by the beautiful color of it. I was able to map out from one half, a wrapper for a "shorter" cigar. So that half avoided the anonymity of the filler bunch, to carry the leading role.
Binder is WLT PA Broadleaf over a filler of MD 609 (kilned), PA Broadleaf and the remaining half of the Honduran leaf.
Yummy. Medium. Smooth. Complex. Quite flammable.

First roll ever. Ugly, tiny cigarillo. Rolled using Katerini and Prilep as a short filler, and only short because the leaves are so tiny. I used Stacked Basma as the binder and wrapper.
Need to let it dry before lighting up.

I had a packed quart Ziploc bag full of cigar rolling scraps, so I decided to make some cigarillos a-la @waikikigun style last night.
My scrap has to amount to a fat fistful of filler, before I roll it all into a single, seemingly pregnant cigar.

Many times I will roll 4 to 5 cigars at a sitting, then use all the scraps to make a final cigar. That last one is usually quite a bit larger & fatter than the others

The 47 X 4 inch cigars here are made from scrap fillers left over from my last 52 torpedos which had Cibao Criollo 98, San Vicente and Cibao Vuelta Abajo Hab. Ligeros, Criollo 98, T-13 and Piloto Visos, Nicaraguan and Rene Secos. Binders are Vuelta Abajo with a inner scrap piece of Rosodo wrapper. Wrappers are Criollo 98.
