I was finally able to get home pick up my 5er of Maduro Roxys. They look and smell incredible! It is going to be so hard to let them sit for a while before burning one.

the wife picked up nicraguan seco, ligero and DW2 off leaf only. so DW2 I'm using as the binder and wrapper for right now. not really too concerned on the actual taste out come right now. just working on the mechanics of it. but I'm doing a 50/50 ligero and seco blend. so yea a double maduro right now.

If it's from leafonly, you may want to call them. I had part of my order missing as well and had to call him in order to make it right.

Gonna be placing my own order for some leaves in the next few days. Waiting on molds as my boss may have some that he's willing to part with. As for a cheveta I'm thinking of getting a Xikar Cigar Knife(http://www.xikar.com/products/cutters/cigar-cut-knife), cuz yay for multipurposing and its super sharp from prior experience, but if a true cheveta has more merits to it for cutting then I'll go with that.

Oh, and has anyone tried using a plastic cutting board as opposed to a wooden one? I don't have a wooden one at the moment and would rather save the extra cash, but I already have plans for a trip to Target shortly after I get back down to Raleigh.

If you can't get or use a cheveta, use a pizza cutter. Make sure it's brand new do there are no chips in the blade
