Some cigars I have rolled

[tx_tuff]

I got a hold of some full wrapper tobacco leafs and so this past week I was able to roll some cigars. I only had 4 Maduro wrappers and the others are Conn. I don't have a Cheveta Knife yet so I used a scalpel to cut the tobacco to roll, and I don't have the tool to cut the caps so I have been making them all with some kind of pig tail. I have also been making most a closed foot, but have done one open and one kinda like a shag foot. The hardest part I think is getting a good cap, and all the Maduros where left hand rolls so that made them even harder. I have some more Conn wrappers so there will be more to come. Hopefully I will get better LOL

Two Conn cigars, the one with the big pig tail is now in Andy's hands LOL


Closed foot on both


The four Maduros

All pig tails


L to R shag foot, open foot, closed foot, twisted closed foot



The shag foot has a Conn boarder.

Impressive Frank! You really are pretty good at that... I guess it wasn't beginners luck @ the Nub event.

Cool pics!!!

The Nub event was the first time I cut the wrappers etc.. These where made after I learned at the Nub event.

Very nice. Would like to learn how to roll one of these days. Where do you get your leaves from?

These where given to me by a friend, but here Otoao Cigars 954-647-4643 you can buy filler, binder and wrapper leaf as well as molds and any other tools you may need if you want to do it all.

This is the guy I want to hang with. Out of cigars, let me roll one. That is Macgyver sh!t to me. All I can say is you must be a fast learner, cause that takes some skills. Those sticks look great. Good job on them.

Cool! Thanks for the info. Its never too early to prepare for the fall of our society. I figure rolling skillz will come in handy when it happens. I should also have the time to grow my own then...sweet!

Very nice looking cigars.

The amount of work, care and attention to detail that goes into hand rolling cigars makes me understand why they cost as much as they do. Outstanding craftsmanship on your sticks.
