Popular Post NW_Oregon Posted June 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2021 Some of these would probably pass for a JLP as far as the look of the wrapper and cap go, but slowly been working on a blend that I'm happy with. Found that bands really improve the look of even the ugliest rolls. Thought this might get some interest on the site. 27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfica_77 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Very cool. You should do some videos on the blending process....rolling etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Looks awesome! I'd absolutely love to see a review/tasting notes of them. It's passion like this that keeps the hobby running 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeskSmkr Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Wow, beautiful. The double claro wrapper has my curiosity, this wrapper I'd like to try more at retail offerings. Nice pigtail. Bands do look good. For size reference, left to right, are these roughly double corona, lancero, petit corona, and lonsdale on the right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy04 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 They look great. I doubt the wrapper leaf on the right is shade grown, most likely sun grown, hence the JLP appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoonerCity Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Those look great, well done! Do you do any aging when experimenting with blends at all? I've always been curious about how people develop blends given how flavors can alter and develop as the cigar ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinny sticks are much harder to roll, and more expensive due to the proportion of wrapper compared to binder and filler leaf. I find skinny sticks require a minimum of a month between rolling and smoking, as the humidity of the damp tobacco tends to cause the plugging in skinnier sticks compared to thicker sticks that permit more air flow.
