Short Panatela Cigar, Roller's POV 

I didn't know you can roll cigars in machines. How do you even do that with a bunch of irregular pieces of leaves?

@@NostalgiaforInfinity most machine rolled cigars use shredded tobacco

@@NostalgiaforInfinity You don't do it well. That's for damn sure.

That’s what I said 😂😂

Exactly what I thought the first time he leaned in. 😁

Saw the hat, had the thought, looked for the comment

Explain the hat pls

@@DeathProfessor I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s a common hat worn by Cubans who are famous for their cigars

Correct.

Did you expect anything else inside ? 😂

​@@lostecl1pse218 I thought they ground them like cigarette tobacco tbh.

Which is why they are awesome 😊

Bro must be 12 years old

I still have some seeds but never tried growing, don't I need to use sand, or how did you do it?

It's because you didn't cure it right is why you got your head blown off in one puff.

@@Loki_Dokiejust RU-vid it dude

@Loki Dokie's Metal Junkie Adventures Well. To be honest, I had zero clue what I was doing (I grew them in a very large raised bed, the same way I grew all my vegetables) and didn't really treat them differently then say lettuce or cabbage and they grew amazingly. Prolly wasn't amazing quality by most standards but it was fun, easy, and lot more potent than I anticipated (at the time I was a pack plus a day smoker). Weekly tending but yeah....bout it. I'm sure you could easily Google or find vids on utube that would give muuuuuch better advice than I since I just winged it. I figured my seeds were bad as they were very old so I tossed a couple handfuls in the bed and shortly there after had a sea of sprouts. Each week I'd thin a 1/4 of em away till just the most vigorous were left in about 1ft sectors.

@@ishnifusmeadle very cool, thank you for taking time to reply, I may give it a shot at some point. If anything they just won't grow. Cheers

My thoughts exactly 😂

Yeah you're pretty much smoking art with how they are created.

Did you think a machine just pooped them out? These men are artisans.

@@robsonez lol man me joking

Yeah, it’s an expensive habit. I stopped smoking cigars years ago. I love walking into a cigar store once in a while to remember the smell of cigars and humidors.😊

Be fr

And how old are you

@mānikyam That doesn't really have to do with anything? I'm 30 and I don't smoke either, but it's still interesting to watch.

@@manikyum 24

Good thing you let us all know you don't smoke. It's very important that strangers on the internet don't judge you for your vices.

You should pick it up

this is exactly why hand rolled cigars can be a little bit more on the expensive side, and I don't mind paying for the premium product in the slightest

About $5 for 1 stick is about as cheap as they go for and still be made with whole leaf and made well. A lot are around the $10 range for 1 cigar. $20 is high end stuff. The most expensive 1 that a tobacconist showed me was $50 for 1 stick. He said he couldn't relax and enjoy the $50 cigar because it's literally money going up in smokes. Cigars that cost with $1 or $2 each are made with shredded up leftover leaf that you can see the roller leaving behind here. I tried them. They're very bland and hard to draw smoke in because of how tightly packed shredded leaves can get. Not really worth the hour or so it takes to smoke unless you're addicted and just need something to smoke.

damn straight spot on

Fresh

Freshly made freshness is fresh.

​@@GalderIncarnate Are you getting fresh with him 😂

Thank you for your very nice comment.

@@BlissCigarCo You're welcome. Well deserved

I have 200 videos here on YT.

Thank you for taking the time to make such a nice comment. I appreciate it.

​@Sus cat 🐈 yea those are dried tobacco

I give it to the world

@@BlissCigarCo You did use the audio though! You dirty dog.

@@OdourlessAunt I am that, I admit it.

yes.. double down on being rude.

there's nothing a woman can stand less than a man relaxing

especially with rice

And the guys spit as glue

​@@Mixed-Media-Arts Its fruit pectin he dips his finger in.

@@boshiesty5497 I knew it wasnt spit, genius

​@@Mixed-Media-Arts definitely better than the ol lick seal for sure

I discovered all those through RU-vid recommendations. 😂

Nate the Hoof guy is fking awesome!

you are celebrating being a number in an algorithm lol your brain is so simple that a computer program can decide what you watch ahahaha

Fr, watching this type of stuff feels relaxing

Yea my RU-vid does this I get tons of model kits, boot repairs, and drawing tutorials. Then RU-vid decides to send me all the gravure videos I’m like what? How does a gunpla video lead to soft core JAV? I mean I guess theyre both Japanese?

I'm soon 84. Had to give up my Fuente and Upmann cigars 20 years ago. However, if I find a guy smoking a quality cigar I follow him around downwind like a bloodhound. My wife of 60 years just gives me "the look." Thanks for great video of true craftmanship and a tip of the hat to the presenters wife.

Same reason people have been enjoying the leaf for at least 8,000 years.

Yeah. Imagine how much they'd cost if people in Nicaragua and the DR weren't getting paid pennies per hour to roll.

You're welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.

Yeah I agree with that.

You're welcome, glad it helped.

Beautifully put, thank you.

Thanks. I appreciate your abstinence.

Thank you.

I literally just put this on to vibe lmao

I don't sell, only roll for entertainment and knowledge.

Thank you, I appreciate the nice comment.

Interesting. What kind of tobacco? Most leaf has to be prepped for rolling, depending on the local humidity.

@@BlissCigarCo If I recall correctly, the seeds were labelled as "Virginia Smoking Tobacco". I'm not sure if that's a specific variety or more of a marketing term. The plants got about as tall as a man and developed pink trumpet flowers but I get the feeling that doesn't narrow it down any. I hanged the leaves from the ceiling in my basement to dry out but I think they dried out too fast and thus became crumbly. The first batch of leaves were a bit yellow already when I harvested them. The second batch I picked while green since we got an early October frost. I did not cut off the tops of the plants when they started producing flowers and then seed pods as some sources suggest for encouraging more leaf growth, since I already had more leaves than I will personally use in several years.

@@robertdeckard2136 Yeah I think Virginia is a type. It's definitely a cig tobacco, tho, not cigar. Sounds like your first crop did have some issues. Tobacco is picked green, then cured in the shed to yellow/brown, then, in the case of cigar tobacco, fermented. I think maybe cig tobacco like VA isn't fermented, tho. Just cured.

@@BlissCigarCo Virginia blends are also used in pipe tobacco. They can be fermented to bring out additional flavors, or you can leave the blend in a tin or mason jar to age it to bring out flavors.

@@fallofshadows2209 Thanks. I think I knew that once upon a time, when I used to smoke pipes. :)

I coax the moisture into the leaf over time.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. This is Ecuadorian Sumatra. Medium thick, perfectly stretchy if handled correctly. Takes me about a day to get it into condition.

@@nicklauschristofonoXXII I do

Get into Thai (tie, because you do actually tie them up) sticks man, it's essentially the og cigar art form of cannabis. But it's definitely the complete opposite of fast production, it's a bit tedious and time consuming particularly the three month aging process of the sticks. They're a bit less heartbreaking to attempt if you live in a legal medical or recreational state, since it's affordable and abundant and you more than likely can also grow your own to produce the fan leaves needed for rolling.

@@silas2415 cones suck, roll a cigarillo instead

@@nicklauschristofonoXXII I care

Thanks. Yeah, the tripa (filler) and capa (wrapper) are totally different varieties of leaf that have been grown and handled in very different fashions on the long road from seed to cigar. The molding smooths out the surface to help make it pretty and also sets and balanced the correct internal pressure of the bunch.

@@BlissCigarCo Beautiful, thanks!

@@MitsurugiR You're welcome.

Vegetable gum.

Maybe I'll try rolling blindfolded someday.

Thank you for the nice comment.

Thank you, I appreciate that nice comment.

That's true. It's a lot less enjoyable to smoke something someone in a factory rolled, especially for the big corporations.

i would think they would cost $100/each.

If I was making, they would cost $100 each. 😂

@@billkea7224 well some do cost $100 (sometimes even more) but it comes down to supply and demand and market demographics.

I agree :)

Correct

My friend there are good cigars on the market for $15 american, you need simply find a reputable tobacconist and not just hit up your local "smoke shop"

Nailed it.

I think that will increase your pleasure in the experience, that level of appreciation and depth of understand of what has gone into that thing in your hands.

Thank you!

Thanks. Any amount of time. Sometimes an hour, sometimes a week. Just depends on the circumstances.

Thank you. 🙂

Veg gum

@@BlissCigarCo Thanks for the response!

Yup, a cigars just leaves and more leaves, in my eyes it's the most natural and easily justified form of tobacco

I agree with you on that.

My job is done here.

Me too. Except it was elementary school.
