Wrapper: Mexican San Andres
Binder: Brazilian Mata Fina – is wrapper grade I just wanted it in the blend.
Fillers: Esteli – Seco Honduran – Viso Brazilian Arapiraca Ometepe – Ligero
Amount filled: 1-4 are pretty much Esteli – Seco – 2x leafs Honduran – Viso – 2x leafs Brazilian Arapiraca – 1 strip Ometepe – Ligero – 1/2 leaf.
Notes: I laid them on top of each other kind of like a sandwich. I put down one leaf from Esteli, Honduran, Esteli, Honduran, Arapiraca, and then the Ometepe. I then cut each end off with the cutter and flipped them in. I rearranged some a little to try and balance the fill. They are in the 5-6 inch range. I tried to cut at the tapers on each end. I then cut a hunk of the head so it would be tighter when in the mouth. I put them in the mold. When it was full I stood on it and then put 2x 10lb weights on it. Set a timer for 30 minutes.
Mold is a 57 ring gauge or thereabout. Used a 57/64th drill to drill the hole.
The weight below is sketchy since the scale is acting up.

| #6 | 2 leaf | 1 leaf | stips | 1/2 leaf | Small for the mold |
