Tool retailers

[Mazin]

Ok guys I'm a newbie but I really would like to start rolling and the equipment looks way cheaper than any other of my hobbies (RC aircraft & Firearms). I'm Just having a limited amount of vendors come up when I do a google search. I'm coming across maybe 3-5 but not all of them carry tools. Leafonly and wholesale leaf seem to be the ones that have a few things for sale but I was kind of hoping for more options. Anyone have any suppliers they recommend for tools , leaf etc?
Thanks guys!

LO and WLT have pretty much very thing you need. There a few other retailers that sell some odds and ends but those listed are primary sources for many of us. Check out fairtradetobacco.com for more sources on rolling.

You don't really need a lot of equipment and supplies - it's mainly manual. I would recommend as a minimum:
Kulu knife - you can get on Amazon
Big cutting board - anywhere
Molds - LO and WLT, plus there's a guy that GDaddy and I have used - Don, do you have the guy's e-mail? I'll look for it as well.
I mostly use home-made molds that I cut out of 3/4" PVC, and hose clamps.
Cigar glue
Cigar scissors
Leaves - WLT and LO sell starter kits which are a good a starting point as any, in terms of selecting leaves to blend.

& watch lots of youtube videos on the subject. GDaddy has made some good ones, as have a few others.

Good luck, & don't be bashful about asking questions. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we'd like to help smooth out the learning curve for you.

Now I feel like my Search engine prowess was pathetic. Thanks a lot guys for the info!
I'm the type that when I start something I try to gather as much info as I can and when I looked into rolling it immidiately intrigued me. The opportunity to make my own flavors and experiment with different blends has me full steam ahead :cowstogie:

The Pvc molds is a great idea! I have defiantly been watching a lot of videos on the net about techniques and tobacco processing. Just watched a 53 min video on the history of the Cuban cigars that was actually really entertaining.

Product Description for: Antique Cigar Press H. Watteyne Pearl St. NY Aug 2 1881


Antique Cigar press measures 23 x 12 x 9 is heavy – about 35 pounds and looks awesome! Overall aging but all looks to be okay – a few of the wooden presses have a chip here and there but still looks to be in good working order. The handle works as it should turning to press. Obviously needs to be cleaned and lubricated but all original. Appears to be cast iron I think.

[Sir Lancerolot]

My tools are:

A chaveta made from a circular saw blade by a friend. If you have no knife-making friends, a kulu should work just fine.

A large wooden cutting board also made by a friend. If you have no friends who used to build guitars and branched into cutting boards, any large cutting board should do.

A rolling pin to flatten the veins in binder and especially wrapper leaves. It was actually my mother's, though she never used it for cigar making.

A spray bottle to moisten leaves. No special story here.

Gum Arabic (cigar glue). If you buy it as Gum Arabic it's cheaper than if you buy it as cigar glue. I've used pectin, and it worked OK, too.

Cigar cutter - just the plain old flat-cut kind that lets you put the cigar all the way through it, not one with a stop.

Zip locks to rehydrate leaves.

Strips of scrap paper to make bands with the date and blend. I wrap them around the cigar and scotch tape the ends together.

I choose not to use molds - I like the "rustic" look. Or the wild men of Borneo look.
