the comfy setup, the unnecessarily perfect camera angle, the taped together blade, the trash bag full of tobaco leaves, i could have told you this guy was a professional before i started the video
I am a Tampa born native of Florida. I still can taste what a high quality cigar is like. Thank you for sharing a video of your amazing skill. Many of our family worked in the cigar industry. My heart is full of memories.
That's great! I have some molds from Tampa. Ybor is a pilgrimage I will make someday. I often order cigars from the little factories around there. Your memories must be amazing.
Bliss your amazing. Awesome Channel and its cool to see someone who isn't an in your face streamer or a channel with the standard hit the subscribe button mantra you hear at the front and end of the video. Its always excellent craftsman who i have found to be replying. I grew up in Tamaqua Pa with a large number of close relatives living in the Mennonite portion of town some practicing some just liking the environment for a family. I now live in AL and after some years i was experiencing some difficulties with the stress of the speed of large cities. I turned a floor of the home into a place where i could preform the tasks and create the things i loved to make. Something that has been quite difficult for me has been finding produces where i was even able to contact the farm as i keep running into places that sell their entire yields to corporates manufactures. To the degree it took 2 separate farmers markets and i had to find someone who knew someone else to even find milk to acquire neat. Where do you get your supplies? no smokeshops here no cigar "lounges" have them, the only one i ever saw is no longer open and it was about 20 years ago they had an in house roller. @@BlissCigarCo
@@forrest24272 Well I reckon it's similar with tobacco. The really good brands either grow all their own; or the good farms sell all their stuff to one or two big companies. Then the farms that don't necessarily make the greatest leaf sell it to places that you CAN buy from, like wholeleaftobacco.com, leafonly.com, and totalleafsupply.com. Although you can occasionally get some good leaf from those places, of course. As for me I've worked up personal connections through the years and am able to get a pound or two here or there of pretty decent leaf. But it took about ten years of hustling and cultivating personal relations to get to that place.
Man, Cigar rolling videos are some of the most relaxing videos out there. Really love seeing it slowed down like this so you can actually comprehend what's going on lol Great videos!
It may sound strange, but I can SMELL this video! Brought back fond memories of watching the old Cubanos rolling sticks in Ybor at the bodegas (I was born right on Tampa Bay). You could always get a hot pressed Cuban sandwich and wonderful cigars at any of the little stores, and there were usually some fellas wearing guayaberas playing dominoes. Thank you for the wonderful flashback!
Thank you for creating such a great false memory for me! I can smell the Cuban sandwiches. I enjoyed your comment so much that I read it to my girlfriend. She saw me reading it and said, "Why are you smiling?"
From a craftsman to a craftsman.. the care you put into creating something everyone else views as a cigar is very impressive. Very nice job. No intro needed, no conclusion necessary.
I dont smoke but my grandpa dad and we were close. He enjoyed cigars and cigarettes until about a week before he passed. Watching people roll either make me think of him fondly and its also just cool to watch the craft! Many thanks 💖
I remember the first time I smoked a cigar. It was a Java by Drew Estate and I smoked it backwards, burned the shit out of it, only smoked half and vomited. I've gotten better since then lol, but now I've moved to hookah mainly. I still occasionally smoke a good cigar every once in a while though. Excellent work sir, you're a true craftsman
Thank you thank you. Reminds me of the first time I tried chewing tobacco when I was a kid in high school, "Wint-o-green." Tasted like candy so I really worked it in my mouth, squeezing out all those delicious juices. Soon I was on the floor of the school bus, dying of nausea....
Oh my God. First, as a person that has rolled countless cigs. I can say you have done that many many times. There are personal little movements one picks up after doing something enough time. Your dexterity is riddled with them. Secondly, I want so bad. That looks delish. That blend looked delish.
Thank you for your very nice comment. After all these years and decades I often recognize other peoples' handmoves from my own videos which is always a great surprise!
I watched them making Cigars in Puerta del Carmen Mexico, very fascinating to watch, I don't smoke but I bought a cigar out of respect for these craftsmen and women, the cigar cost me $14
Where all are you buying tobacco from? I normally buy from Whole Leaf Tobacco, but Don is out of stock on many varieties currently. I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot by watching you, like attending a master class. I am not up to your skill level but enjoy rolling my own very much. It's meditation with an extra reward when I smoke the product, or share with friends. Keep the content coming, it is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks for the very nice comment. For the most part I get my leaf from non-retail channels that I've developed through the years; but I do use the seco olor from Leaf Only and some wrapper from Total Leaf Supply.
Another enchanting, hypnotic and therapeutic video from the wonderful man behind the hands @ Bliss Cigars. It really is blissful to sit back with some nice music, light up a cigar and watch you roll. I'm in awe and also inspired to try rolling some myself. I'm still buying my sticks for now, but I've been very tempted to get some of my own whole leaf. I don't want to waste alot of money. So I'm learning as much as I can before spending any money on it. Do you think I should just purchase a small variety to practice? Or should I stick to the books first before making any hands on mistakes? I learn from the mistakes most. I'm a hard way kind of learner. Likely, as I'm a bit clumsy(my painting teachers called me heavy handed as I tend to smudge my drawings ALOT, it eventually was something I just embraced as part of my style and individuality of my work;not sure that will translate into the art of rolling cigars -my guess is heavy handed cigars don't smoke well!) expensive mistakes that will leave me a bunch of these short filler style maybe panatellas or even my own miniatures...??? I am so intrigued and I'm sure your work area/rolling table smells like heaven itself) Thank you so much for posting these. They are both very educational and THEY ARE ALSO MY THERAPY! Cheers!
I think you have the right ideas: get a small amount to practice with, and realize that no matter how badly you mess it up you'll still have usable, smokeable tobacco, whether you try to roll it into a short filler stick, stick it in a pipe, or whatever. Learning to roll requires a certain kind of zen personality. It's a combo of enjoying learning crafts, of enjoying a process, of doing artistic work with your hands, mostly of learning to be good at something. And in the case of rolling cigars, potentially saving a lot of dough.

Thank you for this tutorial-My first time growing tobacco - seeds are germinating now- got a pasta machine to shred the tobacco leaves--I’m practicing rolling with the packing paper that comes in some of my online orders - lots to learn with growing- curing- rolling tobacco-question,what type glue is the safest to use??
I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually addicted to cigarettes. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back I wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. Man they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.medshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes sure of Dr.medshrooms. I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
I don't tend to over- or underfill them because I've been doing this for 30 years. It is certainly possible to do it, though; you just develop a feel for what's right in your hand. That thing I stick the bunches into to smooth them out is called a cigar mold.
I LOVE watching these artists work! About the only thing I could wish for is if there was some kind of running commentary (either during the work or added after) to hear their thoughts on what and how they are doing what they are doing. May seem silly, but someone adding in "hmmm, this part needs a bit more to even it up" would just make these even more enjoyable to watch.
the comfy setup, the unnecessarily perfect camera angle, the taped together blade, the trash bag full of tobaco leaves, i could have told you this guy was a professional before i started the video
Thanks for the tutorial. Now I can train all the students in the art of cigar making in my orphanage. Thank you
Never have there been such fortunate orphans.
Hey it's free work force
@@Asmrtist021 Yes, Rolam. We got the joke.
Here is lot of tobacco in Bangladesh. If you need i will supply any country purpose in Business.
@@mdrubelhossain9018 but it's haram ? Or not
It’s really cool that all the torn pieces can be reused. No wastage at all
And I'm the idiot who just dumps it out on the grass 😵💫
Oh so that’s what he’s doing is making sure he doesn’t waste any tobacco? That’s cool to know. What would be the benefit of a double binder?

I agree; I don't even smoke and it's just so relaxing to see a pro work their craft!
They are great. Also great are any leatherworking videos and people doing hand tools crafting.

Looks absolutely delicious! Makes me want a cigar now. I haven't had one in quite a while. I love the smell of good tobacco!
So glad you're uploading again after 11 months
At first I thought this was the first day on the job. Then the details and art form came in and it became a masterpiece.
Thank you. Twenty-seven years.
After watching this I really appreciate the price a lot more. Simply beautiful.
Now here is a man who earns his reward.
I can watch your videos all day. What a master at this. Thank you for sharing

I'm not even a smoker, but watching this video make me relax. thankyou.
De nada. Thank you for letting me know.
You have just witnessed a master at work.
Why the hell is this popping up in my recommendations. How do they know I haven't had a cigar in a couple weeks.
They buy information from google, who read your mind through your phone.
Good to see a new video from you. Popped up on my feed just as I was stepping out on the porch to have a cigar too. Cheers.
Great skill, reminds me of going to Ybor City with my Grandfather to get cigars. Id give anything for another day with him now.
That's a wonderful memory. I have some molds from Ybor dating to the 1970s or so.
Such artistry!!! Beautiful video!!! Keep up the great work. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Beautiful. I am going to definitely have a go ! Thank you.
I literally felt the aroma of that cigar while watching this video!
Mesmerizing
That's great. There is a saying: We smoke first with our eyes.
Been a while my friend.we miss you and we missed your talent
Been awhile, as always a fun and educational watch.
He makes it look super easy I bet it’s far from easy what a skilled guy you are
It is pretty easy, after the first 10,000 rolls or so.
YESSSS Another wonderful video from Bliss. Hope all is well, Blake.
All is fine, thank you.
I had to watch this again. Great video!
Once i started watching these videos i started buying leafs to roll cannabis with instead of cigarillos and they come out beautiful
That's great. I roll all things too.
that’s fantastic mate. beautiful results

tabaco makes life just so awesome! Awesome video

Looks like I just found my next youtube addiction!
🙂
I usually use raked up leaves for composting, or winter mulching.
Great work Blake, just wondering if you have a video on how to cut the wrapper. Ie, use more of the top part of the leaf or bottom towards the stem?
I don't know if I specifically do or not, other than what you see in my rolling videos, which is me cutting near the top edge and using the top part.
This is superb!👍🇬🇧

How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Simply beautiful
Cool talent you have there.
Thank you.
Do they ever be different sizes as far as being over or under filled? Is that a shaping block?
I don't tend to over- or underfill them because I've been doing this for 30 years. It is certainly possible to do it, though; you just develop a feel for what's right in your hand. That thing I stick the bunches into to smooth them out is called a cigar mold.
