I grew some cigar tobacco a few years ago. I dried it then called Christian Eroa for Camacho to find out what to do next. He said to rehydrate it by hanging it in the shower and letting the steam moisten it. He then said to stack it in a "Bale" and check the temp of in the middle after a few days. I bought a special themometer long enough to do the trick. However, I was fermenting it in my basment. When I broke it down to rotate the bale, there was mold and the leaves were gooie. I salvaged some and smoked it in my pipe. It wasn't bad. I am going to grow some more next year. And then send to someone else to ferment. :laugh: The flowers are very cool.
Pretty damn impressive for a first try, Jadon! Nicely done. I'm sure you'll let us know how they smoke when you finally psych yourself up enough to torch one!
Sweet! Very impressive. I had a shot at rolling a couple of years ago under the watchful of Billy Perdomo. Of course, the "cigar" was already pressed and all I did was roll the wrapper on it. Nick Perdomo was there and his wife took some great shots of me rolling the cigar. I've captioned them and you might find it useful (instructional). I tried to remember everything Billy told me...anyway, here's the link:
Just kidding! they look awesome, and that fattie on the left... whoo! Please do include pictures with your review, making them look nice is one thing... a good burn is another :whistling: :sign:
Keep practicing, it seems a lot of us would be interested in future efforts.
I haven't mustered up the nerve to smoke one yet (its like setting fire to one of your children! ) but I think I'm gonna have to here in the next day or two... I will keep everyone posted.
Looks like you'll be very popular and VERY busy at the next CP herf in Vegas. I'll tell you what, those are actually very pretty cigars. Well done, Jadon.
