One more question if I may. What type of pectin are you using?

I am using a simple starch, used primarily to thicken liquids. no taste, no smell, super sticky in concentration.

I would like to find what they use in factories, but hard to find. I have looked a sur Jell fruit pectin, but it contains citric acid, which gives it a bitter taste

My fiver that I picked up on the WTS thread arrived yesterday. I'll try one this weekend, but the others will get some proper rest. First observation is that the construction is outstanding; much better than I expected. You seemed to have mastered this very quickly

And they smell great; can't wait to fire one up on Saturday!

You have really inspired me. I am getting some materials together and should have my first batch in a couple of weeks.

That being said, I did some research and it seems that Gum Arabic is what the Cuban Torcedore's use.

The panatela larga is my absolute FAVORITE vitola, and as of last year is completely discontinued. If you learn how to roll these you will be my best friend for life
