Hand rolling questions.

[fainc07]

Sorry to hear about your injury...that sucks.

I think it's great you're going to give this a whirl, should be fun and I bet you'll learn a ton about cigars, which is why we're all here, I suspect...Certainly is the case for me anyway.

Please do spend a bit of time telling us how things are going, as I'm sure I'm not the only one really interested in seeing your first hand rolled smoke!

To a healthy recovery!

If you've really got the itch (as well as time and money), I think there is a shop in Austin, Bobalu I think, that does a type of "school" for rolling cigars.

I've been by their shop on 6th St. and they always have someone rolling cigars in their front window. If anything, they might be a good source for the tools of the trade

Keep us updated and have a quick recovery.

They are one of the only sources that I have found for the tools. However, I'll probably make my own molds. I'll be picking up a few things from them in the coming weeks.

Cool stuff man.
I'm interested to see how it goes. Are all of the tobacos already aged?
what kinda wrapper are you thinking of using?
Definately keep us updated.

I came across this cigar mold on cbid and thought about this thread.

Would love it but Cbid doesn't ship to Canada (thankfully the devil site can't get me up here although it's tried).

This is on hold temporarily, I'm moving in November so I'll have more space then. I'll probably start building my own molds mid November or early December.
