attempt to roll my own

[Bourbon]

Nicely done. I have stuff in my humidor that doesn't look that good!

[coblos]

BUMP!

Where is Krs? Curious to know if you ever smoked any of these and if so what were they like?

[David67]

That is really cool! Looks like you have done a very nice job. If you ever want someone to try one contact me:)

[Jszeto]

Wow, very nice, You are pro

[markyeo]

Those are great looking sticks buddy. I am growing some Havana myself too. Just a week after sowing and little sproutlings are everywhere. Hope everything turns out well here in Malaysia.

Just a quick question on your cigar mold. Where did u get it? I really need one.

[Fuzz]

You can get them off eBay.

The tuck cutter is a bit harder to source. I know of one place that sell it online, but it's about $200 USD. Sometimes old ones pop up on eBay. I've heard of people using a pair of garden shears in a pinch.

[markyeo]

Saw quite a few on eBay but most are used molds. Problem is getting it shipped over here is expensive. Thanks for the heads up, how are your DIY cigars coming up?

[AndrewNR]

Looks awesome mate, I've always been tempted! Tell me about curing the leaves please? Spill all! I'm wondering if this will be my next project..

Don't forget you may get hit up by MAQIS for bringing in a wood product.

Sorry but what is MAQIS? If not mistaken, it's should be alright bringing in a wood product into malaysia still..

I think it's time to change the title of this thread from "attempt to roll my own" to "This is how I roll!" ;-)

Top work!

[stargazer14]

So how did these end up smoking?

I have a few old molds myself and some tobacco, the hard part is fermenting and curing the stuff, THAT is an art also.

I'd like to hear your method.

Agreed!
