By your estimation, or guess, how many cigars do you think you can get out of the leaves you have?
This is a really cool project and I am glad you are sharing it with us. Keep up the good work!

Each day I break my previous record of consecutive days alive.

4 plants of wrapper tobacco (florida sumatra)
8 plants of filler/binder tobacco
Really, I have no idea, but I would suspect around a dozen if everything works out just right.....1 cigar per plant, maybe, though some experienced growers and rollers say 3-6 cigars per plant.
It takes somewhere around 6 to 8 half-leaves, 18" in length, of filler/binder tobacco and one half leaf of quality wrapper to produce one 6.5 x 50 ish cigar....or so I'm told.

It's Madness I tell you!
It simply amazes me just how much work and effort goes into producing these cigars. It is no wonder that they are not even more expensive than they are. I am looking forward to hearing how they finally turn out. It would be interesting to see your review your own cigar along with a few others. Good luck with the process. Roger.
Just another day at the office!

Once you get those bad boys rolled up I have some ideas for custom bands for you...
or maybe...

Hmmmmm, buzz, I'm thinking you have hit on a contest idea for me. Wonder what kind of "label stock" could be had that would allow these to be actually printed and used as bands.
ETA: answered my own question in record time. http://www.onlinelabels.com/cigars/cigar-labels.htm
I suck...
This is a great project and you've done an amazing job keeping the forum posted! Great job!
As far as the band goes I want to throw in a model or two also! I think that you should give one of your puros away as a prize! ;)
Again great job, I've been reading these posts since I joined the board, I may want to start one of these projects next year.
