    I love it. It's like 20 bucks for a ton of yummy chocolate wrapper. How can you go wrong? As for CT Broadleaf, I've only used the "MED", not the maduro. I like it but I don't have a solid feeling yet on what it brings to the mix other than general strength and some pepper. I need more aging on my CT Broadleaf sticks, more experience. But I've been rolling with the PA for 6+ months and consider an essential part of my kit. Plus, at LO they seem to imply that the DARK CT Broad is thicker than the PO oscuro, which is already thick. IMHO the thinner the better when it comes to wrapper.

    Anyway it's one wrapper that I unequivocally consider essential.

    cbr310, on the one hand you could pitch her the fact that home-rolled sticks cost $1.50 each instead of $6-$13, so it's a huge savings, long-term.

    OTOH you totally need patience so it might not be your cup of tea.

    There are tons of resources like youtube and fairtradetobacco.com. I also have made a few videos demonstrating some of the basic processes:

    Best of luck!

    What @waikikigun said plus a couple of the online whole leaf distributors sell blending assortments and molds for pretty reasonable prices.

    I keep track of my cigar rolling in excruciating detail - I've rolled 307 cigars, with a variable cost of $1.38 per stick, and a total cost of $2.12 per. The downside is, I have given more than half of them away

    The PA Oscuro is PA broadleaf so the differences compared to CT broadleaf are very slight. If I had to nitpick I'd say the CT is bit more oaky and mossy and has thicker veins. If you enjoy broadleaf I'm sure you'll like it and I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't tell the difference.
    FWIW My experience has been with using WLT PA Oscuro and LO DW1 CT broad

    Not yet but I have the leaf to do it. Not sure how well it'd burn though its some thick leaf. Pete Johnson did a good job with the broadleaf puro he does so I have at least smoked one. Worth trying if you haven't smoked one before.

    Rolled another batch of Brohibas this weekend. Behold Batch 27:



    Sizes range from 3.5" to 7". RG =~48 for most of them; some are 52.

    Wrappers are all Cameroon. It's a great wrapper to work with, but a little delicate, and the leaves are a bit small, so it's hard to wrap the bigger sticks with one piece.

    Binders are all "one sucker" (dark air) from a grower in KY. One sucker has good flavor and is very strong, but not real smooth, so it wouldn't make a good wrapper, at least not aesthetically.

    Fillers are a lot of experiments. I got some samples of various things from the KY grower incl. "Havana," "Silver River," and "Dark Air," which I blended in various quantites along with my usual blends. Silver River makes a good pipe tobacco, so its use in cigars is, well, experimental.
