How to Roll With A Kit (Part 2): Leaf Prep, Tools, Bunching, and Wrapping The First Cigar

Learn to Roll Cigars Like a Pro: A Complete Guide to Rolling with A Blend Kit

Have you ever wanted to roll your own cigars but didn't know where to start? In this series I’ll show you how to roll your own using a blend kit from wholeleaftobacco.com. I'll be rolling 16-20 cigars from their Azucarado Oscuro blend kit and experimenting with different blends and vitolas (shapes and sizes of cigars).

In this second video in the series, I'll:

Introduce you to prepping the binder and wrapper.

Show you the tools you need to roll like a pro.

Show you how to bunch and wrap a beautiful 5 x 54 robusto, our first cigar from the kit.

Share my tips and insights from decades of rolling.

At the end of the series, after letting the cigars rest and age to perfection, I'll reveal my final thoughts on the kit and which I believe are the best blends and vitolas you can achieve with it.

Whether you're a beginner eager to learn or a cigar enthusiast looking to learn how it's done, this series will have something for you.
