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.
