What we really have here is an excellent, flavourful cigar that most definately is not a fast burner by any means. A more interestig smoke than most other Connecticut cigars I've had, reminds in a way of theSan Cristobal Elegancias. Thanks Brain for sending me this excellent smoke.

Beautiful early evening out after dinner, so I took advantage and grabbed an Eastern Standard Cream Crush.
Yum!!!

Late last night the Weather Channel claimed I was getting snow so I grabbed a hand rolled cigar that I made and went to the garage:
https://s10.postimg.org/54sfubkll/IMG_3892.jpg
As you can see my second attempt (being the better looking of the two) wasn't too pretty. But it burned wonderfully for the first boring half. But midway it burned uneven and became a bit harder to draw. However it began to gain a bit of character. By the end I found that it wasn't very dense as it was a bit squishy.
The filler was Dominican Seco Criollo '98, the binder was Nicaraguan, and the wrapper was Ecuadorian Seco Shade.
The mold measures 48 x 4.9" and this one didn't fill the mold. I suppose it's not bad for a purely hand rolled stick, but I clearly didn't orientate the leaf correctly. I was focused on ensuring the veins were running straight down the length of the body. Watching the video again afterwards I see he places the leaf at a 45* angle so that's what I'll try next time. According to the dude in the video I could use 3-5 filler leaves. The first that was made with 5 and was a hard squeeze for the mold as he said was good. The second I tried 4. I'll not being that again quite yet.
The copper fitting that came with the kit doesn't cut a large enough cap. I'll be ordering, by recommendation of @Marc L , an Olfa 18 mm rotary cutting tool.
I had rehydrated some old 69% Boveda packs for my leaves. It's been a couple of weeks so I may try again soon.
With the lack of character I'm considering purchasing some Moduro wrapper leaves (1/4 lb?) from LeafOnly. Not sure if I'll just add the Ecuadorian Seco as filler, but was wondering about rolling them as intended and adding an additional wrapper. Or maybe I'll keep it for trying cigarillos with the scraps.
