Homerollers - Stand Up and Be Counted!

[HIM]

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.

Bruce, I still roll a cigar here and there...not as often as I'd like, but I can let all that great leaf go to waste! I've not even been on the other forum FTT in awhile.

But, I enjoy "watching" you and others...someday I'll have more time.

Oh, I did end up finding my cigar mold, finally...still have yet to use it.

Thanks for keeping it alive!

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

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!

Been reading some old threads on DIY rolling, I'm very close to buying a starter kit. How long does it take to get non-retarded at it?

It took me a few tries to make a workable cigar, then maybe 20 before one looked halfway decent I just noticed they now sell starter kits at leafonly dot com.

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

Dammit, now I'm interested in this. That's all I need. Another hobby.
I've watched a few Youtube vids on it and it sure looks fun to play with different blends and try to come up with something you like.

Yes, that's the fun of it - making unique blends.

I feel a little guilty that I don't hang out much on FTT anymore - life/work have been getting busier & I find I only have time for this forum. Be sure to post some "pix of your stix" next time you roll.

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.

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

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?
