Have any of you home rollers tried the Nicaraguan Viso from otoaocigars? If so, how does it compare in taste/flavor to the '98 Ligero?

Anyone else notice BLH industries website has been down? and they aren't responding to emails. I'm wanting to get some new molds, but want to get away from the wood molds. Anyone know where I can find another place making composite molds?

Justo Fulgueiras & Son makes some, but they have a minimum qty that you have to purchase.

Blh may be down to restructure, I know they started doing new molds and may not have inventory for private sale.

their website is down. only way to view it is cashed.

I think I found their site and it was like 40$ a mold and you needed to order at least 10. not looking to spend that much money on a mold right now. even though that means I can bunch many cigars and then come back and wrap them. I just don't know about spending 400 on a hobby I just started. maybe in 10 years when I open my own cigar lounge.

messing around... this is easier to do with the thinner wrapper leaves, the thicker, ie. Maduro is hard to do this with.

Whatevers fine brother

This is a gorgeous design here, don't think I have seen a Lancero with a curled pigtail before:

Andrew i smoked one of those Roxy S i just got while i was on my ice fishing trip. Found it to be a little milder than the M but tasty. The construction was great. Draw was a hair tight but it burnt like a champ. Stayed even despite 20mph winds on the ice no touch ups.

You're not seriously using the Cisco/Linksys wireless router setup wizard disc, are you?

I can do some.

I posted earlier about my dealings with another tobacco company, which is why the thread was brought back.

I just can't get over how awesome this pigtail is! Amazing work Andrew!!!

Is that a habano wrapper with a pigtail? Maduro would be sweet but it would be hard to do.

Fredo456 · 02-26-2012, 10:02 AM

I just read through the whole thread.

Very interesting, and I'll try hard not to get into this hobby (at least not yet).

I was wondering: Why are the cigars stored in a regular cabinet instead of a humidor?

Thanks.

They are kept in there for 1-2 weeks then they go in my Humi. since the wrappers are so moist when rolled it gives them a chance to even out with the rest of the tobacco before being put in the humidor, it works the best so that is why i do it.

Well dang. I wasn't planning on buying from WLT again, but now I for sure will not. Sorry to hear about that Andrew

BlkDrew · 02-27-2012, 01:54 PM

working on a box for a brother. will be doing 20 like this for him

maninblack · 02-27-2012, 01:55 PM

Those look sweet Andrew!!

So I have been rolling more and more of my own. It certainly is time consuming, but it's been fun. I don't have any molds, but after watching a slew of videos on youtube (Hamlet, La China, Reynaldo, etc.) I am getting better and better. I have even done a lancero without a mold and I am getting pretty good at lonsdales.

One thing that is of upmost importance is when you get the leaves in, make sure to go ahead and sort them and flatten them out. This bit of prep work helps immensely when going to roll.

Any of you that are rolling have any tips about sorting and flattening?

I also wanted to add, that while the leaf I have now is not the best quality out there. ( I may get some better variety next time) the flavor has been very good. I would put it up there with any $5-$8 smoke.
