Yeah, happy belated birthday. Looks like you really treated yourself!

[tippexx]

the mighty mighty I find sweet maple notes very tasty and lasts ages even at uk prices it's worth ago, at USA prices it's a must have, it's not a complex cigar just the same sweetness till the end !!

I bought some. TJ advised me not to. TJ was right!

But I'm pleased you folks are enjoying them.

If you still have some I will be happy to trade

All gone now (one way or other), but if there's anything else you might like to try and I've got one, I'll see what I can do.

His are custom rolled price wise? Or is it totally dependant upon what's in it and who's doing it?

Totally dependant
I know Hamlet's chunks are great. But they're almost the price of Cohibas. His Flying Pigs are great large smokes and he'll kill you if you guillotine cut it (punch or twist off his signature twist). I believe La China's ones are near the same price but heavily jacked up at the festival

But unnamed and small named custom rolls ( which I just don't have the time for anymore) range only between sizes (and therefore: price per pound).
I've had a Laguita custom DC before and they're like new Cohiba DCS with great spice. Others have been like stale Punch DCs: green and just not as good.

Mmmmmm.. but when they're good.

Daft question but can you buy kits to roll your own?

Not daft at all...... Completely sensible in my book, I bloody hope you can. I have seen websites that sell cured tobacco leaf but haven't a clue if it's up to cigar standards.

Yes. BOTL on another Forum do it quite regularly, one US fella has gotten so good he can roll Barber Poles in Lancero and pig tail them. There are sites that sell all the tobaccos for fillers, wrappers and binders, though BOTL in more advantageous climates 'grow their own'. Deano I think has tried it, and Eggy (currently banned) grows tobacco successfully in a sun-trap area of his garden in Lincolnshire. Moulds, frames and forms often come up on eBay and Ricardo, but a Google search should show you where to buy brand new ones. There are also Forums where you can get guidance and help. Good Luck, I just haven't the hand skill or patience .... but lots of people do!

Got a shop just 10min from me right now that sells their own Cuban sticks with Domi or Niccy wrappers. (Cuba doesn't export wrappers)

Been doing that for a while now and I believe started as just a hobby that evolved into a job.

Cigar moulds are also easily found online for your favourite vitola!!

Cheers guys, it's the first time I've tackled a double corona, I smoke more PC's and robusto's than anything else. Enjoyed it but on balance it's probably a bit much, plus it left me absolutely wired from the nicotine hit!!

Nearly picked up a discounted box of them in duty free 'because they were cheap', kind of glad I didn't now.

That's not a cigar, its a baton.

Cuaba Divinios...... My first plugged cigar and by heck was it plugged. I ended up cutting it extra high and they didn't work, then I screwed a brass wood screw right up into it three times and that partly did the trick but I was only getting light smoke out even then.

The flavours I got out have interested me enough to put it on the try again list.

I paired it with Wychwood breweries Wychcraft a lovely refreshing Blonde ale.

I looked at buying those Cuabas that Tommo had but didn't like the sound of the flavour profile when I looked them up.

I never did take a liking to the Cuaba line. All the ones I smoked had burn issues. Just sort of gave up on them.

Shame as they are good little smokes. They are prone to being plugged though. Try the next size up not sure start it is called. Might be the diadema or something similar. Cuaba are a bit rough around the edges but flavour wise they are pretty good!
