Wrappers, Binders & Fillers Oh My!

[LazyLightning]

I am going about it in a similar manner that I tackled pipe tobacco, when I first started. I keep a "tobacco journal" (and now a cigar version) In it, I put everything from ring gauge, wrapper, binder, etc... and how well I liked it. With pipe tobacco this made it easier for me to see in which direction to go when trying new blends. It's not a perfect system, but I have found (again in regards to pipe tobacco) it really helps me have a general idea if a blend I haven't tried will be to my liking.

That sounds like a great idea! I've relied on my "old man" memory!!

You're probably in trouble like me then (being an old man). It took me 3 months to discover that cellophane wrappers suck.....
