That looks like an amazing time! I only hope that one day, I get to roll a cigar for myself to smoke.

Thanks for all the pictures, they were a blast to look at!

That's amzing Richard, do you plan on contiuning practicing rolling for yourself and others? I'd love to have that talent once I have practiced growing the tobacco themselves.

I have one question, the glue they apply, or the solution in the 3rd picture of the 2nd post he's got his finger in, do you know exactly what that is made out of? I've been wondering what they use to seal everything together with. Thanks for the help man.

Moose, it is a vegetable based glue. They get it in a powdered form and mix it with water, keeping it as a jell in a tightly closed jar. Gum Tragacanth is what most Torcedor use but one can use a wide range of substances from guar gum to fruit pectin. I personally would not recommend gelatin (knox) due to it being made from animal by-products and it melts when heated.

Thanks to everyone for your support in my adventures, so glad you enjoyed the story and photos.

Looks like a good trip and a lot of fun. I imagine that it was even educational for the kids.

Thanks for the pics and great tale.
