I rolled a few dozen a few years back, I still have some PA and import leaf.

Mine came out smokable, most not particularly attractive. I guess that I rolled with the wrapper too wet; most of my cigars have wrinkled wrappers.

I roll without real molds. I will twist the bound cigar in saran wrap and leave it for a couple hours, that does help it retain form.

I've rolled parejos and various figurados including pointy-heads, double perfectos and what could be called trompetas. I crammed the bound cigar into a preferidos tube for several of the perfectos. This worked surprisingly well.

Chaveta, pizza cutter - as long as it's a blade right? I have a home made chaveta that works just fine.

I do/did have a bit of trouble with caps. I made single caps and also twisted some pigtails.

I don't have a digital camera, so no pix.

Doesn't cured tobacco leaf feel cool?
