Where might one find the starter kits that have been mentioned?
I've been eyeing molds for a while but they all seem eye-waterinly expensive and I don't quite fancy making my own out of PVC tubing...

This place is a lot cheaper than when I started and has a good variety.

I got my wooden 48RG mold from leaf only and so far I'm happy with it. Works great if you don't have a vice or a press. They're also where I've been getting my CT broadleaf wrapper from. Sucks they recently stopped selling sample sizes.

Larry the Tobacco Butcher has some good CT broad that I use for wrappers. Way cheaper than leafonly and wholeleaf. A little more "rustic" through.

Nice work, Cole! How long you been at it?

Thanks Bruce Ive been at it since October. I feel like Im picking it up pretty quick.

I was going to ask you if you'd used his broadleaf when you posted a link to his site. I got the impression it was unsorted, is this the case?

Aaaah, screw... Even considering that with shipping to Spain its gonna come close to 100 bucks Im still seriously tempted...
Now in know where to find it. Definitely bookmarked. Thanks for the tip!

Looking pretty good guys. My only suggestion is that you home rollers sell some to us mugs to try some day!

I got a starter set this past Christmas and have only rolled 2 batches of 4 each so far. Ecuador shade wrapper, Sumatra binder, Dominican seco and Dominican ligero for the filler. I cut the ligero proportion in half compared to the recommendation. I smoked 1 from each batch so far, and they were good, but I think would benefit from the extra ligero. The second batch had much better construction. The only thing I haven't bought yet is molds. I've been using paper towels after rolling the binder to give a better shape and it has worked pretty well so far.

Here is my first batch. Not pretty, but not a bad start. The one I had from this batch had a really tight draw. I am hoping the rest are better.



And here is my second batch. A small improvement in the looks department. The one I smoked from this batch burned perfect.

Very nice, Tim! Those look a heck of a lot better than my first 20 or 30

Damn nice looking sticks guys! Cole you are turning into a freeking master in no time man! how long are you aging those bad boys? have you let any of them get through the sick period yet?

Thanks Jay. I make sure to smoke one the day after I wrap and the others I plan to leave for at least 2 months to get through the sick phase. Saka says it should take up to 60 days post roll depending on how heavy the leaf is. It was hard at first but now I'm building the stash up to where I should have a good pipeline as long as I keep up with it.
