12-18-2011, 06:51 AM

That's exactly what I am hoping for too. When I get the cash this is my order

12-18-2011, 08:46 AM

the only ones i have in stock now are

CT premium shade with dominican filler (Limited Quantity)
Havana Prime with dominican filler (Limited Quantity)
Maduro With Dominican filler

The problem is, it is difficult to carry a large variety of wrappers. they take a lot more care in storage than the fillers and only having one mold at the time I can only do 10 cigars per batch.

I am going to start wrapping them in newspaper after being pressed to help increase production.

ok, well with what you got, how about 2 maddies, 2 CT, and a Havana Prime?

Basically, I am wanting and willing to help support you and your rolling, and wanting to try these....

But if not, what can you do for a 5er now, and how much would they cost shipped to 22655?

I have a current list going. my last final exam is on monday, after that i will able to start increasing inventory. When i started rolling i was juggling a lot, I had work which was full time nights, school every day until noon and i had to fit sleep in there at some point.

now that school is done, i will have a solid 4-5 hours a day i can commit to rolling. I will start selling again once i increase inventory and let them rest a week or so.

Nice, did that last 5/50 pick have a pigtailed cap?

When i apply the wrapper i have not perfected the continuous flag, so i pigtail them all, and trim it close to the head and apply a faux triple cap, i find it it much easier this way until i can perfect a continuous cap.

no pigtails yet.

Drew, this thread has push me to the point of trying too roll myself....I hope that you won't mind if there is another picture thread on here at some point....

I want this tread to include everyone's progress of you start rolling, that includes everyone, Shawn, Corey, etc.

I'm glad everyone is safe. Heard it on the news. I hope you guys have a great Christmas over there.

I got pictures here and there but I'm shy and lately just reading others posts on the board absorbing and still trying experiments, however theres some guys at work loving the guinea pig role and right now reviews are 70/30 on liking them with many changes made throughout the project series. Resources keeps the hobby to a small hobby window,so like you having few molds and resources of time and leaves coming in keeps it to just a fun way to relax. With me being a perfectionist I will tell you its hard to make cigars for more than just your palet and eye. Some mistakes launched my rustic series idea and I'm just happy to be doing what I originally set off in this hobby to do. Now to find different farms, ages, etc crops.
I do say this Andy, keep up the great work. and I'll post pics of my press I made after that Pm awhile back telling you of my idea, I broadened it and it works great.
