I have seen pictures and rolling tables from members in the past but never a thread.  Who else rolls their own sticks, lets get a thread to give blends, tips and hints.  I roll for profit and fun who else is out there.
 
Now that explains your last post in Today's Smoke.  Post some pics.  We all like cigar porn.
 
I grow, process and roll my own.  Have been, in very limited quantities, since 2010 or so.
Not for profit, just for me and a few friends.  Fun, relaxing, frustrating, and hard work, but very rewarding.
Also make some pipe tobacco blends, but not much of that the last couple of years.
 
I bet that's fun. How happy are you with the final product?

When I first started brewing, I wasn't thrilled with the first few batches. It got me really excited though. Fast forward a few years, and I couldn't be happier.
 
Raod, do you have a shop that you sell from or do you hire out for parties?  Pretty cool stuff.  Keep posting some pics.
 
All of the above ;)

I liked the blend from my first batches but the construction was questionable at best.  Now very happy with the new blends and the construction, although I will get better with more time in.
 
There is a farm that grows tobacco and makes cigars from it located on Kauai.  Occasionally I do see small bags of tobacco for sale from them.  The tobacco is in pieces not whole leaf (short filler maybe).  I think they are 12oz bags but not sure.  If you are interested in getting some and see what you can do with it let me know.  I can get some next time I see it.  It may also work shredded for pipe or cigarette use, so if anyone is interested just pm.
