Rolled a couple batches over the long Columbus Day weekend.

33 total, 26 in Batch 36 and 7 in batch 37. Batch 36 has CT Broadleaf wrappers and "dark fire" (dark fire-cured VA) binders. Fillers are Nicaraguan Viso, Dominican Seco, and Criollo Ligero (pretty sure it's Dominican). Batch 37 has the same wrappers and binders, but the filler is random pieces from the scrap bag. They probably won't burn as well, so that's why I segregated them into a separate batch.
About half of them are tiny perfectos - my uncle passed away earlier this year and my aunt gave me his antique German perfecto mold, which his German relatives had given him many years ago. It was used by one of their old relatives who had worked in a German cigar factory way back when. My uncle wasn't a blood relative but the family connection is still pretty cool :) I won't be using it much though, since making a tiny perfecto is just as much work as making a full-size cigar, actually harder.
Amazing. It blows me away what you guys can do.
Tnx, y'all are too kind. If you unfocus your eyes, mine look as good as @Marc L 's :)
Never had a box that fit these till now.

Well done Brother.

Absolutely. If they are the size wrappers the rest of us got you'll be able to get four rolled from one leaf. Super stretchy when you let the water fully absorb into it. Like CT shade leaf, it will stain if water is left to bead and stand on it so, shake of any excess and allow it to absorb in for at least a few hours if its not already stretchy to begin with.Quote:

I think you're just taking the bands off of commercial cigars and then clipping them to slightly different lengths :)
But srsly, nice work Marc!
..close but, no cigar. .. not really. had to use a binder on the last one.

I ran out of prepped wrapper again but, used the new Vuelta Abajo Binder on one instead.

Pix of @Marc L cigars are true porn!
You can look at the beauties but can't touch!! :) :)
You know those scraps you throw out from the bottom side of the wrapper?
