Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)
The tobacco we call pipe leaf, is just a tobacco leaf from farmers' point of view. Michael tells it all the time. You may take a cigar leaf and make Cavendish from it for example. I renamed the thread, will be experimenting and updating regularly.- jvnshr

Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)
I think there are some people who grow their own tobacco in Australia, is there any possibility to buy from them? I will definitely get a mold in the future. For now, I am cutting a strip from A4 paper and wrapping it around the bunch.- jvnshr

Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)
Good draw and firm ash is the result of entubado bunching. I guess the answer to your question is "quality control". Rollers are not paid well, have to roll probably 200 cigars a day, so they just don't care about the draw. For me the first cigar took around 30 minutes or so to roll, the second...- jvnshr

Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)
A cigar weighs approximately 10 grams (0.35 oz) which is 1/5 of 50 gram (1.76 oz) tin of a pipe tobacco. So it makes sense. I haven't calculated yet, but most say that it costs $1.5-2 per cigar if you are rolling your own. You definitely have to. I guess I am the first one doing this here in...- jvnshr

Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)
Learning how to roll a cigar was in my wishlist for a while. Few weeks ago I decided to get some leaves from the States and start learning. Here are the leaves I used: Wrapper - Brazilian Mata Fina Binder - Dominican Binder Fillers - Aged Dominican Ligero Piloto Cubano and Aged Dominican Seco...- jvnshr

What Cigar are You Smoking?
I made a mistake of not testing the draw right after bunching. When I did the draw test, it was already wrapped, so didn't want to undo everything. The draw was very loose. Another mistake was not letting it rest for a day or so, because I was so excited to smoke it. Believe me or not, the taste...- jvnshr

What Cigar are You Smoking?
My 5 year (soon 6) old son is starting school tomorrow. Found this 5 year old cigar from my humidor to celebrate. Although it has a perfect construction, draw and burn, it is a bland cigar, probably came in a sampler years ago. Or maybe the years took its character and strength away. No idea...- jvnshr

How To Reduce Humidity Level?
Remove the bovedas, you have enough humidity anyway. You may leave your humidor open under direct sunlight for a while, but don't overdo it. Please remove your cigars while doing it, don't leave them under sunlight. Let the humidor dry a little bit, then put your cigars back into it and check...- jvnshr
