I've been free rolling some different shapes, primarily starting at a 48ish ring that expands outward to the foot, upwards of 60+. All of the large ring cigars I've smoked have all been fairly mild, as is this one. Trying to find a good combination of fillers that will be stronger, but still burn readily.

That's a pretty darn good free roll!

Thanks, although I imagine consistency of size is quite a ways off without a mold. My efforts thus far...

Gifted by a botl. So far it is burning very nice. Flavors to me are grass,tobacco,and a slight sweetness like maybe a plum. Thank you brother.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia

FINALLY! The first decently warm evening of the year and I can enjoy a cigar without being parked in front of a jet blower in a heavy coat. Had to pick a cigar worthy of the evening. Bam!

I'm not a BIG flavored-cigar-type-of-guy, but I do enjoy the occasional flavored cigar. This NUB, which I've had before, is quite interesting.

A petite lancero (5.5 x 38) version of my Nicaraguan blend. This followed another of the DR mountain cigars. I've had a dozen of those and only one did not go well (burn issues). Still the best buck I ever spent!
