It's so cool to watch experienced people do stuff. It's crazy how you just know the exact amount of leaves to put inside before rolling it.

Gets pretty easy after the first 10,000 rolls or so. Still a work in progress tho.

Something my dad and I both love together is cigars, I don’t get to see him much but I think it would be an awesome gift for me to learn how to roll a cigar and give him a couple that I made

[@BlissCigarCo]

It really would be an awesome gift!

[@blackjackcwc]

[@BlenderBeanie]

@@RonaldRegain since weed is legal too, i might make some special cigars as well :D that be a hell of a gift for anyone that enjoys it, I imagine

When I saw this video I just took a Davidoff escurio perfecto from my humidor and started smoking it. I played the video on repeat to pair with my cigar and enjoy. Congratulations and I am thankful for the people that make the cigars I am a fan

Watching you do the wrapper is amazing such small movements and Precision. And cutting in such a particular way. Very cool to see

[@BlissCigarCo]

Ya if you don't cut the wrapper like that for a perfecto it won't work at all.

[@MikeFish-gm3ep]

Fantastic roll. I really like the cut for the wrapper. The mold looks well made.

[@BlissCigarCo]

Thanks. It's okay. It's very light, and not super smooth, which is typical of plastic molds. It would be cool if it could have that heaviness and glassiness of a Cody mold, but I accept that his heavy-ass molds are super premium and unusual. This one got the job done. I'm content with the price ($104 for two 4-slotters, including shipping from France). Now I have the beli bunch roasting in the oven. It's very beli-headed: a very quick slope, no long tapery torpedoy thingy.

[@MikeFish-gm3ep]

@@BlissCigarCo it did make a good looking bunch. Very uniform in shape. The price is good considering. Is it a CNC or 3D? Looks 3D. The Beli. is my next mold I’m going to get.

[@BlissCigarCo]

@@MikeFish-gm3ep I don't know jack about this stuff but my impression is that 3D is plastic and CNC tends to be carve-able stuff like wood. So pretty sure this is 3d, ya.

For my money there's no cooler cigar shape than a Perfecto. They look like something one of the bad kids in Boystown would smoke in a Disney cartoon. When the brand "Cuaba" came out I totally fell in love with the look of their short length, double tapered cigars. My lungs are taxed now so I can't even be near smoke. I miss cigars! Love these videos

[@victorchang1346]

What is the time lapse between 1:55 and 1:59? In other words, how long does the cigar stay in the case? Because it seems significantly dryer and smaller than when it first went in. Thanks.

[@BlissCigarCo]

I think I left it in overnight. So around 24 hours? Not really much dryer, but the point of molds is that you use them to press the thing down to a smaller, firmer shape.

[@jimfree0]

Wonderful video~! The textures and colors are transfixing. I've rolled a few smokables in my time, but it's clearly best an art left to the professionals. Been thinking a lot about "love your work" BS lately, but I'll settle for "work with skill/passion" like you demonstrate here. 'Demonstrate a Japanese-like perfection ethos to at least one thing in your life' is something I'm still working out. Makes me happy to watch you doing yours. In particular, the wrapper leaf is an impressive specimen. I don't mean this in a bad way, and it didn't creep me out too much, but it's pliancy and resiliency are not so dissimilar to human epidermis. I'd wager cigar rollers might actually be very capable surgeons. ¡Saludos doctor!

[@BlissCigarCo]

Thanks for the great comment. While people do mention the leathery aspects of properly prepped wrapper, I think this is the first time it was human leather.

[@jart83]

What an interesting shape! The wrapping always gave me trouble, but the funny shape you cut out makes it make sense. Seems like a lot of work just for the shape though. How often do you roll cigars in this shape?

[@BlissCigarCo]

It's not work for me, though, since I don't work in a factory or have a quota to hit. It's just a meditative hobby. I roll figurados pretty often, but this is my first roll with a "perfect" perfecto mold rather than one with different tapers at each end. I first started deconstructing the wrapper shape for these about ten years ago.

[@mathewmcfool]

KZbin "How To Roll A Blunt" by Redman us rollers gotta stick together, nice work!

[@jbachmann6386]

For your cigar clue what ratio of powder to water do you use? The first time I used too much water and the second time I used the manufacturer recommend half teaspoon per the amount of powder provided and it wasn't enough water to even dissolve the powder.

[@BlissCigarCo]

Are you trying to use that crap glue that comes with the WLT kits? There is no ratio for that, it's just bad. For the Bermocoll I use, the ratio is ~5-1 water-powder.

[@jbachmann6386]

@BlissCigarCo the 2nd time yes lol. The first time it was from leaf only & it didn't tell me how much water was needed so I was winging it. Thanks for your help 🙏

[@BlissCigarCo]

@@jbachmann6386 Okay. So, since there are zillions of Bermocolls, they all behave differently and you have to find the ratio. Also, some go almost straight to gel, others need to be heated up. The stuff I use, commercial grade stuff, has to be heated. So I stir it and set it on my expresso machine set to Steam (hot), and stir it now and then until it's good. It goes a super long way, so like a shallow tea spoon of powder, 5 of those of water.

[@obiwanfisher537]

Wow this is so complicated to roll I love a good cigar and I love the variety of it. I just feel if I start rolling my own, I will face the issue of a very limited amount of blends to buy. There are a couple, yes, you can blend them yourself, true, but back when I had my cigar store, I sold 700 different cigars. And I could easily get more if I wanted to. That's the only limitation I see, but it definitely would be nice to roll your own either way. Are maduro tobaccos difficult to get? Any sources you know of?

[@BlissCigarCo]

So, your comment is super interesting to me, as someone with 30 years of rolling and blending experience. On the simplest level, let me just say that with three good filler leaves you can do 1000s of filler varieties; and yet the biggest changes by far come from the wrappers. So, e.g. you could find one good filler set and then buy 8 wrappers an be set for life for variety. I do know of many good maduro varieties but most are not retail. WLT's habano maduro is okay, LO's Habano viso is good, and Ultimo's MSA is excellent.

[@obiwanfisher537]

@@BlissCigarCo Wow really? That is very good news! Do you have cigars you recreate often and you sort of remember or write down how exactly you blended them? How many leaves of what etc?
