It's Bermocoll cigar glue. Any vegetable gum would work.

​@@CatharsisCigarsI was wondering what it was. I have seen an old Vietnamese woman making cigarettes and the paper had no glue strip. She was using some kind of sticky rice flour or rice starch basically on a Q tip and that's how she was bonding the cigarette paper together. It was like one of those cigarette makers that use thick plastic film, almost like tarp that the tobacco and paper sit in to roll it, but instead of a single cigarette at a time it was super wide and would do 5 cigarettes end to end. Then she'd just chop them with scissors. Could whack out HUGE quantities of cigarettes doing it a few hours a day.

Not my thing, but you do you!

That mold would help roll a huge thick blunt 👍

You can buy tobacco leaves online (For example wholeleaftobacco.com). I also grow some myself. If you're on Facebook, check out the Cigar Rollers group; it's pretty active.

I keep leaf in plastic totes in the garage. The rolling room just is what it is. It's challenging for me in the summer because the AC keeps humidity low (in the 40s). Your climate will vary. For binder, you can use the seco or a wrapper leaf that didn't make the cut. That's what I do. I actually don't have anything on hand that's sold as "binder".

@@CatharsisCigars I might need to get some then. Do you put any humidity packs in the totes? I tried using the seco and even the viso as binder, but I had trouble keeping them lit for some reason. Maybe I just need to let them dry for more than a week.

I designed it in Fusion, cleared some material with a drill press, then gave it the final shape using a little Chinese 3018 table top CNC. At some point I may make a video (or a series) on how I make these.

@@CatharsisCigars Interesting. Yeah I was thinking it could be done by drilling two identical holes and turning one into the base and the other into the top. Would be difficult to do it completely by hand though.

Hayır, puro satmıyorum. Bunları sadece kendim için yapıyorum.

@@CatharsisCigars harika, emeğinize sağlık. iyi günler

Thanks! About an hour or two is usually good for wooden molds. Plastic molds maybe a bit longer. Rotate by 90 degrees after 20 minutes or so to avoid creases on the side. That said, I've left cigars in their mold anywhere from 10 minutes up to maybe a month (forgot them in the mold) and they turned out fine.

@@CatharsisCigars Nice!! I am planning on getting a mold and some leaf online. Probably watch one of your videos over and over then give it the good ole drop-out-of-college and find a real job try!

@@bonelessrocker Hey brother, as a new roller myself, you might want to hold off on the molds until you have some cigars under your belt. Getting the bunching correctly the same on every cigar is very difficult. If you look into paper molding it works on any size you end up rolling and costs virtually nothing. Good luck, it's a lot of fun and very rewarding in the end.

@@MB-zj3er Thanks for the heads up! I ordered some leaf online from "Leaf only" hoping it is here soon, Lol. As well as some leafs for cigars I have some Perique coming for my pipe as well! I will let you know how it goes.

@@bonelessrocker You are very welcome, please do come back and let me know how you make out. Did you order a kit? I have ordered two from Whole Leaf but they sell smaller kits than Leaf Only. I have purchased 2 one pound kits and gotten 40 cigars including a couple of Cuban Sandwiches from the scraps. The hardest part has been getting the tightness of the roll right for a proper draw, but it only means I get to smoke more cigars experimenting. I think I hit it right around #6. I was trying to roll them too tightly. Also if they are a little loose you can always tighten them with the paper molding after testing the draw. Better too loose than too tight in my experience so far.

Wholeleaftobacco.com, leafonly.com, totalleafsupply.com, and I also grow some myself.

@CatharsisCigars weirdly enough i looked it up and its literally a 10 minute drive from my house. Wholeleaf that is..

Thanks. Those dial calipers are from Ace Hardware.

@@CatharsisCigars thank you. Found it on Amazon $25

Spit 👍

That's Bermocoll cigar glue. Any vegetable gum would work too.
