I've been enjoying rolling cigars from the kits I ordered from WLT. I have a small suggestion for an improvement in the kit or on the website.
For example let's consider the Melodioso Cremosa kit. It clearly includes more seco than it does ligero. The question for a beginner roller and blender upon receiving the kit is - how much more? How much of each should I put in my cigar to get the expected result?
I know that one of the goals is to experiment with the blending and I'm enjoying doing so as a hobbyist (and pipe smoker... we pipe smokers like that sort of thing). However when I showed a friend the contents he said "Cool! So what are all these different leaves and how much do you put in?" His goal in buying something like this would be to sit down and roll up all the cigars and stick them in his humidor.
If it came with a little slip of paper, or if it was posted on the website that stated the recommended "factory" blend was, say, 2 parts seco to 1 part ligero, then it would help smooth out the learning curve somewhat and save a guy from doing something dumb like overdoing the ligero at the start and ending up stuck with nothing but pure seco cigars at the end.
