That’s what I said 😂😂

Exactly what I thought the first time he leaned in. 😁

Saw the hat, had the thought, looked for the comment

Explain the hat pls

@@DeathProfessor I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s a common hat worn by Cubans who are famous for their cigars

I didn't know you can roll cigars in machines. How do you even do that with a bunch of irregular pieces of leaves?

@@NostalgiaforInfinity most machine rolled cigars use shredded tobacco

@@NostalgiaforInfinity You don't do it well. That's for damn sure.

Correct.

Did you expect anything else inside ? 😂

​@@lostecl1pse218 I thought they ground them like cigarette tobacco tbh.

Which is why they are awesome 😊

Bro must be 12 years old

I discovered all those through KZfaq recommendations. 😂

Nate the Hoof guy is fking awesome!

you are celebrating being a number in an algorithm lol your brain is so simple that a computer program can decide what you watch ahahaha

Fr, watching this type of stuff feels relaxing

Yea my KZfaq does this I get tons of model kits, boot repairs, and drawing tutorials. Then KZfaq decides to send me all the gravure videos I’m like what? How does a gunpla video lead to soft core JAV? I mean I guess theyre both Japanese?

My thoughts exactly 😂

Yeah you're pretty much smoking art with how they are created.

Did you think a machine just pooped them out? These men are artisans.

@@robsonez lol man me joking

Yeah, it’s an expensive habit. I stopped smoking cigars years ago. I love walking into a cigar store once in a while to remember the smell of cigars and humidors.😊

I still have some seeds but never tried growing, don't I need to use sand, or how did you do it?

It's because you didn't cure it right is why you got your head blown off in one puff.

@@Loki_Dokiejust KZfaq it dude

@Loki Dokie's Metal Junkie Adventures Well. To be honest, I had zero clue what I was doing (I grew them in a very large raised bed, the same way I grew all my vegetables) and didn't really treat them differently then say lettuce or cabbage and they grew amazingly. Prolly wasn't amazing quality by most standards but it was fun, easy, and lot more potent than I anticipated (at the time I was a pack plus a day smoker). Weekly tending but yeah....bout it. I'm sure you could easily Google or find vids on utube that would give muuuuuch better advice than I since I just winged it. I figured my seeds were bad as they were very old so I tossed a couple handfuls in the bed and shortly there after had a sea of sprouts. Each week I'd thin a 1/4 of em away till just the most vigorous were left in about 1ft sectors.

@@ishnifusmeadle very cool, thank you for taking time to reply, I may give it a shot at some point. If anything they just won't grow. Cheers

And how old are you

@mānikyam That doesn't really have to do with anything? I'm 30 and I don't smoke either, but it's still interesting to watch.

@@manikyum 24

Good thing you let us all know you don't smoke. It's very important that strangers on the internet don't judge you for your vices.

You should pick it up

Be fr

I give it to the world

@@BlissCigarCo You did use the audio though! You dirty dog.

@@OdourlessAunt I am that, I admit it.

yes.. double down on being rude.

there's nothing a woman can stand less than a man relaxing

damn straight spot on

I have 200 videos here on YT.

​@Sus cat 🐈 yea those are dried tobacco

True

Fresh

Freshly made freshness is fresh.

​@@GalderIncarnate Are you getting fresh with him 😂

this is exactly why hand rolled cigars can be a little bit more on the expensive side, and I don't mind paying for the premium product in the slightest

About $5 for 1 stick is about as cheap as they go for and still be made with whole leaf and made well. A lot are around the $10 range for 1 cigar. $20 is high end stuff. The most expensive 1 that a tobacconist showed me was $50 for 1 stick. He said he couldn't relax and enjoy the $50 cigar because it's literally money going up in smokes. Cigars that cost with $1 or $2 each are made with shredded up leftover leaf that you can see the roller leaving behind here. I tried them. They're very bland and hard to draw smoke in because of how tightly packed shredded leaves can get. Not really worth the hour or so it takes to smoke unless you're addicted and just need something to smoke.

especially with rice

And the guys spit as glue

​@@snyder_fine_art Its fruit pectin he dips his finger in.

@@boshiesty5497 I knew it wasnt spit, genius

​@@snyder_fine_art definitely better than the ol lick seal for sure

That's exactly right

Thank you for taking the time to make such a nice comment. I appreciate it.

You're welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.

Thank you for your very nice comment.

@@BlissCigarCo You're welcome. Well deserved

Yeah, whoops.

I'm soon 84. Had to give up my Fuente and Upmann cigars 20 years ago. However, if I find a guy smoking a quality cigar I follow him around downwind like a bloodhound. My wife of 60 years just gives me "the look." Thanks for great video of true craftmanship and a tip of the hat to the presenters wife.

I’m not an expert by any means but I’ve seen my uncles light enough cigars to tell that you cut the opposite end, then light said end, and inhale through the flat end.

@@thatoneultramarine208 that’s simply not true lol

Yeah I agree with that.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

You're welcome, glad it helped.

Same reason people have been enjoying the leaf for at least 8,000 years.

Thank you for the very nice comment. I really get a mental image of the situation you're describing, these rollers in the keys. At some point in your life you should really go for it and start rolling!

@@BlissCigarCo a lot are of Spanish and Cuban descent, immigrants fleeing a life of hardship to start anew in the United States of America. When the weathers nice I always see their little walk up wooden booths displaying fantastic assortments of just about anything you could imagine. The sweet and nutty, spicy and peppery aromas of fermented tobacco creating such a serene atmosphere wafting down the streets. I always loved seeing the culebras of varying flavors. And I never strayed away from a nice light bodied corona, I also love panatelas and churchills to the classic torpedo styled smoke. And I must say Claros are definitely my top pick!

@@randomocity999 Beautiful and evocative writing! I wish I could read such things more often. As for me my preference is the panatela, and I prefer to smoke nothing larger than a petit corona. But in 30 years of smoking I have drifted toward enjoying a quality maduro smoke as much or more than a CT shade.

Yeah. Imagine how much they'd cost if people in Nicaragua and the DR weren't getting paid pennies per hour to roll.

Thanks. This is Ecuadorian Sumatra. Medium thick, perfectly stretchy if handled correctly. Takes me about a day to get it into condition.

Thanks. Yeah, the tripa (filler) and capa (wrapper) are totally different varieties of leaf that have been grown and handled in very different fashions on the long road from seed to cigar. The molding smooths out the surface to help make it pretty and also sets and balanced the correct internal pressure of the bunch.

Thank you.

I literally just put this on to vibe lmao

I don't sell, only roll for entertainment and knowledge.

Thank you for the nice comment.

@@BlissCigarCo Beautiful, thanks!

@@MitsurugiR You're welcome.

Interesting. What kind of tobacco? Most leaf has to be prepped for rolling, depending on the local humidity.

@@BlissCigarCo If I recall correctly, the seeds were labelled as "Virginia Smoking Tobacco". I'm not sure if that's a specific variety or more of a marketing term. The plants got about as tall as a man and developed pink trumpet flowers but I get the feeling that doesn't narrow it down any. I hanged the leaves from the ceiling in my basement to dry out but I think they dried out too fast and thus became crumbly. The first batch of leaves were a bit yellow already when I harvested them. The second batch I picked while green since we got an early October frost. I did not cut off the tops of the plants when they started producing flowers and then seed pods as some sources suggest for encouraging more leaf growth, since I already had more leaves than I will personally use in several years.

@@robertdeckard2136 Yeah I think Virginia is a type. It's definitely a cig tobacco, tho, not cigar. Sounds like your first crop did have some issues. Tobacco is picked green, then cured in the shed to yellow/brown, then, in the case of cigar tobacco, fermented. I think maybe cig tobacco like VA isn't fermented, tho. Just cured.

@@BlissCigarCo Virginia blends are also used in pipe tobacco. They can be fermented to bring out additional flavors, or you can leave the blend in a tin or mason jar to age it to bring out flavors.

@@fallofshadows2209 Thanks. I think I knew that once upon a time, when I used to smoke pipes. :)

I coax the moisture into the leaf over time.

Thanks for the nice comment.

Thank you!

Best way to enjoy a cigar lol

I do it to my relax myself, too.

Some of the best cigars are coming out of Nicaragua and D.R. nowadays. That volcanic soil in Central America is producing some very nice tobaccos

​@@thomastrain7311 So far the only cigars I've ever had have been Nicaraguan or DR. It has such great taste. But in my opinion Nicaraguan filler is best when mixed with a second filler for more flavor, it can be boring alone

The binder is, I believe, Ecuadorian Habano.

Thank you.

Thanks. Any amount of time. Sometimes an hour, sometimes a week. Just depends on the circumstances.

Thank you, I appreciate that nice comment.

@@nicklauschristofonoXXII I do

Get into Thai (tie, because you do actually tie them up) sticks man, it's essentially the og cigar art form of cannabis. But it's definitely the complete opposite of fast production, it's a bit tedious and time consuming particularly the three month aging process of the sticks. They're a bit less heartbreaking to attempt if you live in a legal medical or recreational state, since it's affordable and abundant and you more than likely can also grow your own to produce the fan leaves needed for rolling.

@@silas2415 cones suck, roll a cigarillo instead

@@nicklauschristofonoXXII I care

I think I've got a video of that somewhere on my channel...

Thank you Vincent, I appreciate the very nice comment.

Vegetable gum.

Maybe I'll try rolling blindfolded someday.

Nailed it.

Correct

Veg gum

@@BlissCigarCo Thanks for the response!

i would think they would cost $100/each.

If I was making, they would cost $100 each. 😂

@@billkea7224 well some do cost $100 (sometimes even more) but it comes down to supply and demand and market demographics.

Thank you, I appreciate the nice comment.

Thank you

Beautifully put, thank you.
