Back to work Sig 6. At least it’s back to the normal mid 70s here.

Undercrown Maduro with a cup of Rwandan coffee
Happy Thursday and a nice long weekend. Kickin’ it off with an Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro and a little bourbon. 
2 for this morning, Foundation Wise Man Maduro, peppery then calmed down at half ways, A EL Gueguense good smoke I like this one better!
Not a big smoker but have started making my own cigars this year from tobacco I grew and cured.
All the cigars so far have been mild and smooth. Rather low nicotine thanks to this being my first year growing the plant.
Having some trouble with securing wrappers, which may have something to do with the leaves being hail damaged, and a little too young to really be used for cigar making. Having trouble with rolling the ends too. It is certainly an artform.

By securing, I mean keeping the wrappers from unwrapping themselves as they dry.
Been using honey mixed with alcohol to make a syrup. I guess that glue is too weak.
More honey, less booze lol!

Last cigar for 2022, Oliva: Serie V 135th Anniversary Edicion Limitada, wow, excellent!
@Farside
May be of interest, the thread titled Javans Cigar Adventure (or similar) which is still active in the cigar section of the forum - may have to scroll down a bit.
Just a thought, you may find it interesting as it contains home rolled cigars.
Welcome to the forums and best of luck with your home grown fun!
Lost an entire crop one year to hail. Heartbreaking. May I ask how many strains of tobacco did you grow for your cigars? Wrapper, binder, filler all different or all the same? And I sent you a PM about glue.
Last cigar of the year. 2001 RyJ Tres Petit Coronas
I have not been smoking cigars lately due to the weather. Weather is finally nice today so relaxing with a Padron 1926 Serie Natural
Tat Capa Especial with a cup of Rwandan coffee
Several year old Henry Clay, probably 48x6.5.
Rocky Patel Sixty... it was CA's #2 cigar of 2022, fwiw. I feel like Rocky probably gets a bit too much shit for being cheesy... but this stick came with a pretty hefty price for a Mexico/Nicaragua/Nicaragua blend, IMO. Let's see how it smokes!
Now that's one I haven't seen in a while. It was one of the better bargains on CA's list when I started getting into cigars back in like '06 - '07.. I have a pretty distinct memory of smoking one while stoned out of my mind and watching The Sopranos, lol....
Is that a recent purchase or one you've had sitting for a while?
