looks great..
Nice long ash & straight burn - well bunched and bound!
Tasty treat I smoked earlier. Honestly has the profile of cigars I pay $8-10 for. It's funny it smokes like a Nicaraguan wrapped in broadleaf but is mostly Dominican leaf. 1 criollo ligero, 1 Nic habano viso, 3 Corojo seco, Dom binder, CT broadleaf wrap.

sounds tasty! what $8 cigar would you compare it to?
Saying it feels like a bit of a stretch but that blend in particular reminds me of Padron. Earthy and woody, pepper, cocoa, coffee, cream. I also really like the blend a lot without the Nic Habano viso and an added leaf of corojo 99 seco instead. Less earthy and woody but sweeter with richer mocha notes. More reminiscent of a Tatuaje. Great example IMO of how a small change in the filler can noticeably change the overall profile.Quote:

Thought I'd wake up this sleepy corner of the Bum with a home-rolled report - having a Brohiba on the back deck. This one has Piloto Cubano Seco and Criollo Ligero filler, KY dark air binder, and KY-grown CT broadleaf wrapper. It's pretty good, definitely will roll more of these.
I haven't actually rolled any stogies in about a month and a half - burning down current stocks before I add more. Also, been making some pipe tobacco lately.
Sounds interesting. The dark air is fire cured right? Ive been a bit lazy myself I need to roll some more.Quote:

Brohiba, batch 22. This particular individual is Criollo Ligero and Piloto Cubano Seco, bound with One Sucker (dark air) from KY, and wrapped w/ KY-grown CT broadleaf. Very nice flavor and a medium nic hit, with 4 months of rest and relaxation on it. The CT broadleaf isn't the prettiest wrapper, but it sure is tasty and therefore is my go-to wrapper :)
50% criollo ligero, 50% corojo viso, Dom binder, and Sam Andres wrapper. Lots of pepper and cinnamon notes. Full bodied treat.

7.5 x 50 Churchill I enjoyed earlier. Same blend I've been rolling. 50/50 criollo ligero and corojo viso with Dom binder and San Andres wrapper. 3 hours of bliss!

Not currently smoking a home-rolled, but I've been drafted to provide cigars for a friend's son's wedding this weekend, so the portable stash will consist mainly of RYOs - little perfectos for the "cigar curious" and larger ones for the seasoned veterans.
50/50 corojo viso and criollo ligero, Dom binder, and Ecuadorian Habano 2000 ligero wrapper. Really tasty.

Had a Brohiba while driving thru Penn's wood today on my way home from Ohio. This one had an Ecuador Shade wrapper, One Sucker binder, and a filler comprised of Criollo ligero, Piloto Cubano seco, and Brazil viso.
WLT Azucarodo Oscuro blend. Lighter than I like.
Attachment 3835My first blend with 100 plus days of rest. Pa oscuro wrapper, Dom binder, Dom lig, Corojo seco and Corojo viso. White pepper, sweetness, coffee, earth. Lots of thick heavy smoke. Not bad for a first roll. Could use less pepper and more cocoa and coffee notes. 7 more blends still sleeping.
SA Wrapper, Dom binder, Dom lig, Corojo viso, and Corojo seco.
Well rolled brotha! How long did it end up burning for?
Blend #3, Corojo wrapper, Dom binder, Corojo seco and criollo ligero. Date 6-14-15. Spicy.

Blend #4, PA oscuro wrapper, Dom binder, Corojo seco and criollo ligero. Date 7-24-15.
SA wrapper, Dom binder, criollo ligero and corojo viso.
Ecu mad wrap, Dom binder, Dom lig, flojo viso and nic seco
Tonight's smoke. PA wrapper, Dominican binder, Dominican ligero, corojo viso, corojo seco and nicaraguan habano seco.
No more pix?
Sent a few Brohibas off to my BIL and pulled one out for myself tonite. This one has Brazil viso and KY Dark Air filler, KY Dark Air binder, and CT Broadleaf wrapper. Flavor is okay, a little flat. The KY Dark Air filler is not workout out too well for me. For some reason all the sticks I roll with it end up with too tight a draw.
Edit: I gave up on it. Starting to taste blood from sucking too hard on it :(
