Hi this video helped me so much the first cigar I rolled with this method turned out great! Compared to the other methods I tried that didn’t go so well.

[@aromatix5741]

Glad to hear! I was hoping this video would make it easier to roll a good cigar. Thanks for letting me know it helped you!

Great upload!👍 Love the cigar rolling videos! Enjoy your smokes!

Hey Velin , I missed doing them.

[@havadd]

Ok the double fold that's better than way I did it, good info

[@aromatix5741]

How were you doing it?

[@aromatix5741]

Oops never mind I saw your other post 😬

[@MB-zj3er]

I've just started my journey. I did the first batch entubado, and the second book rolled. I did find book rolling easier. I did it a little differently though. I first rolled my ligero, then a stack of viso around that and then the stack of seco around that followed by the binder. This perfectly positioned the ligero at the center of the cigar and gave me good draw.

[@aromatix5741]

Nice. OK so you are just rolling everything in one roll without the double fold? That's usually how a book method is done. So your draw was good, was the burn? That's what is great about the hobby, you are the master roller and blender. Keep me posted on how things progress!

[@MB-zj3er]

@@aromatix5741 Yes, that is correct. I'm just doing them in order instead of making one stack and rolling it as I've seen some of the professional rollers doing. As I said it allowed me to get the ligero centered without a lot of practice on how I laid out the stack. As for draw, I actually got an easier (test) draw then on the etubados I've rolled, which was surprising. I'm still waiting out the resting period to find out how the burn goes. The bunching is the hardest part for me so far, just because it takes experimentation and the waiting. I can say that all of the entubados I've rolled have burned perfectly so far, with the exception of one that tunneled for a minute and then corrected. I'm also paper molding so I can do some adjustment there if they feel too loose. I just re-wrap a little tighter and let them set again before wrapping. I agree that this is a really fun hobby. Even if it's not the best cigar you ever had, you still rolled it, there is something about that connection that makes it better. 👍

@@MB-zj3er Cool, BTW I was not c Being critical at all , just surprised there was not more tunneling as sometimes with a straight roll even if the draw is good sometimes the leaves are too close together and can cause tunneling or burn issues. Thanks for letting me and my viewers you experience and once again keep me posted if you have anything more to share!

[@MB-zj3er]

@@aromatix5741 No problem, didn't take it as criticism at all. It's possible you may be right at this point as I've only tested my entubados for burn. Jury is still out. I can say this though, if I look at the feet side by side it is hard to tell the difference between the two as far as the spaces you have between the leaves for air flow. I'll try to remember and come back and let you know when I get one smoked, still resting, I want to do it right. Also, I've rolled some short filler cigars with a home made rolling machine. They are a concept which should not work as far as burn and draw at all, and yet they do.

[@aromatix5741]

I would love a rolling machine for using up my scraps.

[@ChipAK49]

Very cool, thank you for sharing.

[@aromatix5741]

You are welcome , do you roll or smoke cigars?

[@ChipAK49]

@@aromatix5741 I smoke cigars, but I've never rolled them myself.

[@havadd]

I make mine ussually when low on cigars would take the nubs left over if I saved and open them up and lay flat stacked then rolled together and bind that with rolling papers but I'm sure are methods to help make better smoke with them

[@zapatastyle]

That was satisfying to watch. How much does one cigar end up costing you when you do it yourself? Im in Canada as well.

[@aromatix5741]

Glad you enjoyed it, I like watching other people roll too.. Price is hard to judge, If you just want to roll Corona sized with the same filler then maybe 50 cents each but if you are like me and want all the different leaf then the startup is quite high but even then after all is said and done maybe 2 bucks for a robusto. A pound of leaf ranges from 20 US for basic filler to 80 US for connecticut wrapper.

[@zapatastyle]

@@aromatix5741 OK gotcha. Those prices sound worthwhile. I never knew you could buy leaf to roll your own. Thanks for the info....and the demo.

[@texastaurus9271]

im really considering trying to roll cigars... any advice? lol

[@aromatix5741]

That's a good question, have you seen my other videos on cigar blending? What cigars do you like?

[@texastaurus9271]

@@aromatix5741 its been awhile since i watched your videos so i will go back and watch again. i really enjoy brazilian, habano, conneticut broadleaf, and mostly maduros.

[@aromatix5741]

@texastaurus9271 That's a loaded question, the best thing I can tell you is to watch my blending videos and figure out what tobacco you like. Another idea is to buy a pre set cigar kit from wholeleaftobacco. If you have any specific questions, just let me know.
