This man is an artist . Much love for your trade . The somebodies cant roll there own cigars . LOL! I have been rolling my own cigars for 2 or more years . Skills are needed .
I have been watching those videos a lot recently and I believe the bunching method they use is the book bunching if I am not mistaken. Well, I guess that explains why Montecristo #4 has a tight draw :-)
Those guys do book it pretty often. I've also seen where they just sort of grab the leaf up into their hand. Yeah, pretty sure none of these guys has ever set foot inside a cigar factory. But I have had some of their sticks and they are pleasant to smoke with a nice cup of coffee. Hard to go wrong with Cuban tobacco.
@@BlissCigarCo Talking about Cuban farmers, there is a Cuban brand named after the farmers and field workers, Vegueros. Their Entretiempos are one of my favorites. They are very affordable compared to other Cuban brands and have that unaltered tobacco taste.
The bunching looks more like a modified accordion; this would have more draw than a standard book laying leaves flat on top another. These have a bit of a tubular/roll to them.
OK so i notice with the Camposino cigars that you are using a double binder which i have seen done very cool, why? ( it looks incredible fyi) On the cap work you cut out a eye drop shape for the cap , then put another cap afterwards was that the triple cap method? because it looked like 3 caps not sure. I've had some Cohiba Esplendidos, and Partagas D4 with similar cap work.
I do double binder when the binder is not thick enough, or because I want more structure, or because I want more of the binder leaf in the blend. Also because it is the Cuban method. Yes, the eyedrop (called the flag) is the second cap, and the circular disk at the end is the third cap. The first cap was the twist at the top of the wrap. This is the triple cap method. I learned this method from studying Cuban rolling videos and from studying Cuban cigars.
wow...I'm no cigar snob by any means but I do smokem if I got em and I love hand rolled. How much are these and how can I get some for myself here in North Carolina?
@@BlissCigarCo I started to watch your videos and it looked so cool that i also wanted to start try rolling, only to discover that you cant get any leaves here in germany. Only solution would be to grow which is at the moment not possible. You are really blessed in the states with this kind of stuff.
I haven't watched this video since I uploaded it, so I don't know if you mean here or in general. But binder leaves can either be single or double, depends on various things. Handrolls (no mold) are almost always double-bound. Hard to answer the pressure question: having rolled tens of thousands of cigars, I apply the right amount of pressure.
To further answer that, cigars that will go into a mold don't require tons of hand pressure, because the mold does the final squeezing. Rolling without a mold, the hand does the final squeezing, so more pressure.
I am ready to be wrong but in my humble opinion, all things being equal, bookbinding or entubado makes no difference to the draw as they both get pressed in the mould and the tubes are flat like the bookbind. you can see this from looking at either end of a cut cigar. I think entubado makes it easier to get an even piece of filler from a leaf without cutting the leaf and tradition and marketing has a lot to do with it too. Its hard to test the theory as a hand rolled cigar its hard to make 2 identical cigars with 2 methods for me that would give a meaningful test. Love the vids btw
If you prefer the result and the method then of course there's nothing wrong with that. That's the beauty of this, and most hobbies: do whatever you find most enjoyable.
Normally somewhere between 1/2 hour per side and days, depending on when I have time to wrap them. But if I recall, I only leave them in the mold for a few minutes in this video, since I bunch and wrap them straight through.
You can definitely do that. I show everything about it in my How To Roll Cigars, from Binder Prep to Triple Cap video. ua-cam.com/video/iD_iLp4r8B4/v-deo.htmlsi=gRhav-Dg0P7lNqh6
You can get a similar one from Hondurascrafts at Etsy. He may still have a couple 40-gauge right now. I got mine from a cigar factory who changed over from wood to plastic.
Quite possible. I don't worry about that anymore. If everything burns then I don't care where it goes. I've even rolled some "inside-out" lately and they're fine.
None of the tobacco is wasted. I use the cuttings as short filler. I cut cigars to specific vitolas and batches which fit together perfectly in specific cigar boxes for storage and also allow me to more easily identify which cigars are which. I use different vitolas for different blends.
Would love to roll my own cigars. At the moment am trying out different cigars to improve my pallate, so far picking up, spice/ bakers spice, sweet notes, pepper cedar/sweet woody notes and earth.
@@BlissCigarCo Am still new to cigars. Just wish they weren't so expensive over here in the UK. Your vids are very insightful, this is 1st time I wach them. The skill you have and patience to roll cigars is amazing.
Man I don’t even smoke cigars but your videos are fascinating, great quality too.
Thanks, I appreciate the nice comment!
a genuine pleasure to watch and understand the making of a hand rolled cigar. appreciated.
ive watched all your videos multiple times. love your work!! hope to see more of it soon! you desrve more attention
Thank you! Well, I have got 300,000+ views on my new video after a month, so that's a lot of attention! All the same though since I don't monetize.
Those cigars look beautiful
Thank you Laura

Glad you like it, thanks.
No mistaking the tobacco I grew up with and use in rolling a lot, that wrapper is PA Broadleaf. The size, thickness, and marbled color is obvious.
New to rolling but not to smoking. One day I'll make one somewhat close to what you're doing. Outstanding videos.
Thanks, I appreciate that. Just takes a little commitment and practice.
Master work, no doubt.
The way that 2 layer binder rolls out ... One catches the other beautiful ... Thanks ...

Thank you. I appreciate that very much.
Great video!!
Thank you!
I just recently started to roll my own. Your videos are a great help. Like the Cuban style roll tabacco you do on your video.
@@jsalas329 That's great! I'm glad the videos have been helpful.
I like the cigarettes made by hand with rolling leaves of tabaco
You’re a cigar channel and committed the ultimate cigar sin on camera 😂😂😂😂
very good . thank you sir😍😍
Thanks, you're welcome!
never had a good cigar, might have to pick one up some time and see if its worth this much work

What are these binder leaves, Blake? If you can remember... haha. They're so nice a large and an interesting color.
Pretty sure I know what they are, and that you can't get'em. :) I believe they are Ecuador habano but not from a retail source.
i would like to try one:D
Then you'll have to roll one! :) These are all gone.

Mui bueno el video, con que se pega el tabaco?
Gracias. Goma vegetal llamada Bermocol.
@@BlissCigarCo muchas gracias por el dato.

Hi, I only roll for events and entertainment now, sorry!
what wrapper leaf? Also, was that the ecuadoran binder??? I want some! Great vid, much enjoyed
I think that's Habano wrapper and Ecuador binder, both from Bobalu.
@@BlissCigarCo thank you. Binder looks exceptional, ill have to put it on the list ;)
@@tjgusta It's very nice, and you get a lot of it for $25.

@@TheSeb12345 Is it forbidden to import leaf from US retailers like Leaf Only and Whole Leaf Tobacco? Sorry to hear about that, if it's true.
Are all the binder wrappers doubled up? And how much pressure are you applying when you roll it with your palm?

how long have you been rolling and smoking ?
Smoking cigars for 25 years, rolling for 10+.
How long do cigars sit in the molds ?
Normally somewhere between 1/2 hour per side and days, depending on when I have time to wrap them. But if I recall, I only leave them in the mold for a few minutes in this video, since I bunch and wrap them straight through.
I want to learn how to roll cigars

Quiero uno 👍😛😛🇺🇲😜😛👍👍👍
Where can I get cigar molds like yours?
You can get a similar one from Hondurascrafts at Etsy. He may still have a couple 40-gauge right now. I got mine from a cigar factory who changed over from wood to plastic.
Just realized this video is 3 yrs old. Lol. But I noticed the ligero is not necessarily in the center?
Quite possible. I don't worry about that anymore. If everything burns then I don't care where it goes. I've even rolled some "inside-out" lately and they're fine.
Corojo or Ecuador Habano binder?
I don't remember specifically what I did in this video, but I never use Corojo for a binder and I often use Ec Hab, so much more likely to be Ec Hab.
I NEED A COVID 19 CIGAR ! lol Roll my own though . Jokes on tracers.
What does Jokers on tracers mean?
Great job. The only question I have is why cut cigar at a certain length? Why not leave the end of the cigar uncut? It’s a waste imo.
None of the tobacco is wasted. I use the cuttings as short filler. I cut cigars to specific vitolas and batches which fit together perfectly in specific cigar boxes for storage and also allow me to more easily identify which cigars are which. I use different vitolas for different blends.
dude i will in hale a\with one of rthlse4 tat the beech
How can I get tobacco online
You can guy it from leafonly.com and wholeleaftobacco.com
I would roll and smoke those cuts . Cigarello`s
Yeah, I save all my cuttings for cigarillos and other things.
Obviously not real time. 1.5x speed
I like my Cuban sandwiches without tobacco please. Kidding. Kidding. I can see it's not. Cool vid. Even cooler at 1.5X.
I agree. I also love a good tobacco-free Cuban sandwich; and every video is better at 1.5x.
Would love to roll my own cigars. At the moment am trying out different cigars to improve my pallate, so far picking up, spice/ bakers spice, sweet notes, pepper cedar/sweet woody notes and earth.
You're a lot better at picking up notes than I am. I never get any of that stuff. I just smell different varieties and intensities of tobacco.
