seanz stogies

[Seanz]

another couple just rolled.
the smallerof them is in my opinion the better if the two. More even in the filler and but the real test will be found tomorrow when I have to drive to Te Anau foe a job interview. Might even get some trout fishing in.

Very nice stogie's there Seanz. Your rolling is really improving.
What varieties did you use? I like to get my taste buds involved when viewing cigar pictures. lol.
Hope you get to go fishing, if you do, good luck. Good luck with the interview also. I'll be pulling for you.

Thanks mate, I am rolling the cigar sampler from WLT. Cheers for the luck Its a job as pest control in Southland trapping possums, shooting goats and deer in some of the best wilderness in NZ. At the moment I am planning on getting the rod in at a river mouth down here, Some nice sea run salmon been caught out there. As the weather is ok i.e. not raining, I plan on camping over And maybe some sharks off the beach.

Great looking stogies Seanz,
The more you roll, the better you'll get at it.
I'm up to 40 or so rolled now and it doesn't take me all night to roll one... Any more.
And best of luck tomorrow brother!

Good luck on the job and the fishin.

Sean, Good Luck on both. I understand fresh goat stew ain't bad and Don has some killer Possum recipes.
Oh yeah, nice stogies too.

 

[Seanz]

Cheers guys Yeah Goat stew is a good one Even roasted it is not too bad as long as it ain't some stinky old Billy goat

Sounds like a job any keen outdoors guy would kill for, nice rolling on the cigars

I've seen the Red Stag hunts on the Outdoor Channel where some of the areas are so steep they drop you off from a helicopter. Looks like a great place for hunting.

Nice looking cigars. How long did you leave them in the press?

 

[Seanz]

No press here. I just roll then smile em

Tried a few different ways of rolling today. Its strange but I seem to have better luck with the bigger gauge. The smaller ones I used a very high cased wrapper and had trouble with it. Seemed to bunch and rip and stuff. The middle one is a bit of a 'mare so I am thinking of cutting into medallions and mixing in to the pipe brew.
So I think I will stop having water on the board and then get them into high case. The fillers were a mix of accordion and then laying on top of each other and rolling like a burrito. I reckon I got a more uniform thickness with the burrito roll. But as they say the proof is in the smoking and that will happen tomorrow or maybe later tonight with the big 'un. As it shouldn't need as long to dry.

Not bad. Not bad at all. How do they draw? I used to smoke 34 ring. When I tried to roll them they drew hard so I am now rolling 42/44 ring. I actually like them better.

 

[Seanz]

I am still a bit confused about Ring Gauge thing How do they measure it. They draw pretty well.

Ring sizes are in 1/64ths of an inch. Therefore a 64 ring is 1" in diameter. A 32 ring = 1/2" etc.

Cool thanks I always wondered about that.

 

[johnlee1933]

Cool thanks I always wondered about that.

BTW Finger ring sizes are different. They seem to be metric and I can make no rhyme or reason for the system. I guess they are just what they are. Easy to look up.
