Do Not Inhale

But enjoy.
I tend to find myself smelling the burning cigar as much as I pull on it for a draw.

I can also cut the burned foot of a cigar that has gone out and smoke it an hour later. I am not fussy. But I do like what I like.

Spicy flavor. Less woody.

I also find myself scoring a smoke by its quality with regards to the roll itself. Far too often the hand rolled specimens produced locally are too tight and have no draw. Or they are loose enough to form huge white nebulous ash that is consumed in less than an hour.

Also a wrapper that peels off or breaks when the cigar is still more moist than dried out.
Quality.

I found a site called Leaf Only where you can buy a DiY kit and try your hand at rolling cigars.
I'm a natural. I grew up rolling more of my own smokes than buy Newports at Scher's.
Fine, I'll give it a shot.

I'll document it here and report on my progress.
Here's to me becoming the next Rocky Patel.
