You're welcome. Thank you for the nice comment.

I agree with your method. I just didn't notice until it was too late.

Hi, Wesley. Bobalu Cigar in Austin sometimes has some leaf for sale: call them and ask for Jeff, the owner.

Nice job on rolling your first cigars! I can't remember whether I have any torpedo videos here or not, sorry.

@@BlissCigarCo I started with the Leaf Only starter kit, and last night I finished the leaves and made 20 cigars of various sizes mostly large, awfully ugly wrapping, they look like Jungle cigars LOL I put them in my cigar box so they dry a bit before putting them in the humidor. any advice appreciated, ohh ya my basement come to find out is on the humid side so That is my cigar workshop now LOL , Thanx for the Support and doing the post you done a lottta of good for people

@@rezasaba1602 Hey, i think most of the advice I could give is contained in my "How to Roll Cigars, from Binder Prep to Triple Cap" video. Congratulations on getting started and busting out 20 jungle gars! :) That's great. Take your time prepping your leaf. Takes 2 days and 8 light mists minimum to prep wrapper. Don't let stuff get damp, especially if you're in high humidity. Carefully introduce moisture to your leaf as needed, no more.

There used to be more local guys doing it but the laws got too tricky. What locality is that? Not necessarily anything wrong with leaving in the stems. Many major brands do it and their cigars are great.

Petite corona. I'd recommend corona or robusto for a newbie.

@@BlissCigarCo Thanks.

love your videos. i have the same question as Robert.

You'll notice that my wrappers are very stretchy and flexible. That is because all the moisture I have put on them during conditioning has been fully absorbed into the leaf, which is the point of putting any moisture onto them in the first place. Any surface moisture that has not been absorbed is not doing anything for you, other than giving you a possibly weaker, dirtier wrapper. So, my wrapper leaves are dry to the touch, but they are properly "cased," meaning flexible. I think this is probably both my preference and normal, but of course I know there are a lot of variations on what is normal in cigar production. Most of the time you see wet leaf in rolling videos, it's because they are creating an artificial coloring situation during the rolling process.

@@kylebarton4492 Thank you.

@@BlissCigarCo thank you for the explanation.

Use them in short-filler cigarillos. Short-filler is the scraps.

Try to do what you see in my videos and you will learn!

@@BlissCigarCo do you buy your tobacco from a website?

@@mathewvillatoro4566 No, I don't. But there are websites you can buy it from. Leafonly and wholeleaftobacco

@@BlissCigarCo so you go to a local shop? Or grow your own

@@mathewvillatoro4566 I have private connections that I have developed through the years.
