I buy from Leaf Only. There is another site (I forget what it is, but Google will remember), but I haven't seen anything there I wanted.

I started with an old cutting board and a sharp knife. Since then a friend who makes cutting boards made me one, and a friend who makes knives made me a chaveta. I use a plain old guillotine cutter as well.

It's OK to store the leaves a little on the dry side. They need to be moistened right before you roll them, in order to make them pliable enough to take cigar shape without crumbling. Filler should be no more moist than that - just enough to keep from crumbling when you roll them. Binder and wrapper can be a little moister if necessary so that they flatten up against the other leaves. They may also shrink a little as they dry, resulting in better contact.

I use an old rolling pin to flatten the binder and wrapper.

I use fruit pectin for tobacco glue, but I'm thinking about trying the real thing when I run out of pectin.

I don't use a mold, which results in "rustic" looking cigars. "Cigarros Rusticos" is my brand. LOL!

I don't make New Year's resolutions, but one of this year's non-resolutions for next year is to get back into rolling - it's been too long.

Check out the home rollers section of Cigarbum - you'll find good ideas for blends.
