    Trouble with Flake Tobaccos

    When doing a fold and stuff after folding it in half wide then fold in half length ways I roll it between my fingers which looses up all the strands.

    Lifestyle?!!

    I feel like it's something made up by Madison Ave aka Cigar Aficionado magazine to sell shit to the Gen X's/hipsters. When I look at the cigar industry now and I see boutique this and small batch that I think to myself what the hell happened to the cigar industry. I'm sure the cigar makers love...
