Let me just start off by saying.... Rolling a maduro is very difficult, due to the fact that the leaf is velvety soft, and can tear at any given time... luckily with a lot of patience, I was able to roll 10 using 10 wrapper leaves. hydration is very important with these leaves.

also there are a lot of darker tobacco juices, which can stain your hands...
http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/y...8/IMG_1041.jpg

and finally, i have 12 but i rolled 10 today.

Some CT shade and Havan Prime are for sale in the WTS/T

so.. if anyone would like to know, I will be getting a second mold to do a 42x5, It will save me on filler, and not everyone likes a Robusto.

for the next mini batch, I am using the same Dominican blend, but with a maduro binder and maduro wrapper.... guess you could call it a "double maduro" :ss

Andrew, I really love what you are doing with the leaf.:dr I can't wait to try some; I plan on smoking one ROTT and letting the others rest for awhile maybe 6 months....if they last that long.:D

Curious on something??? Is there any reason you never got involved in the Newbie sampler trade? You have been a member here since Dec 2009 and really don't have any trader feedback other then the PIF's you have done recently. Just my curiosity running rampage here. No harm and no foul intended.:)

i joined in 2009, but i really didn't visit the site much. After i thought about rolling my own I was looking through different forums to see if anyone else was, then i remembered that i was a member here, and i started posting my progress. I honestly would like to do the newbie sampler trade, If i still can? I guess i just didn't know how to go about it.

I'm sure you would be welcome. here is the link; Brent (Smokin Gator) runs it. I'm sure if you explained what happened, there wouldn't be a problem. Just ask to be put on the first timers list.:tu

Let me know when you want the money for the Double Maduro's. :dr
Your smokes look really nice--and I would like to try a connie wrapper also. Let me know.

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 :tu :tu

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.

Morning Andrew, I didn't get to Roxy like I wanted to last night.....LONG STORY, so she will meet her fiery death at my mom's Christmas party with some nice scotch this evening......I REALLY hate to burn her, because she smells so damn good.
