Cuban Custom Roll

[tippexx]

Wonder what the minimum order would be,

My guess would be whatever you want. You can get most of the vitola sizes. Box counts are the usual 10, 25 or 50. The Mods will know where .... and the UKCF band idea isn't half bad.

What's the chances of us all clubbing resources and getting an annual batch of custom rolled UKCF sticks? Or is that just pie in the sky thinking?

That i think would be a great idea and even try some custom bands i know a few sites you can get them cant you

[JoeyGunz]

To get your head around customs would be akin to getting your head around the cuban market from scratch, the custom rolls aren't cheap when they're done by a roller in England and even the ones I've seen sourced abroard have held a premium price.

Basically you have to learn the rollers, learn what they like to roll, learn about blends e.t.c e.t.c e.t.c

Dunno, didn't recognise any faces from here and I've only met MarkLondon in the flesh.

Check out Pandy's video, its only two and a half minutes but it looked like a good day.

I just did. Any more UKCF members in the video?

I think I read that they were robustos but I could be wrong as I wasn't there

Sounds like a deal.

What was the size for a fiver?

I know at the Big Smoke last year they had a guest roller who was hand rolling them for a fiver each

What was the size for a fiver?

I have had about 4 different ones but all fresh. They were very nice and smooth but I am still yet to try them with a few years on them. The customs I have had rolled in the UK with a few years have been out of this world.

I shall look into Johnny-O.

You are not the first one to bring this name up. What did you think of his cigars?

They are a plenty in LCDH in Cuba. You get the odd visiting one outside. But since you are in the USA I would get in contact with Johnny-o there is some doubt around them but the ones I have had are lovely

Maduro of course

I think we tell them we want a BHK Siglo VI cross breed

Sounds a great idea to me! Wonder what the minimum order would be, I guess the main problem would be getting a general consensus/agreement from everyone on a vitola and blend?

Yeah for sure wouldn't be simple, it could however give a potential option of having a Vitola rolled that the big companies are turning away from such as the Panetela Larga we were discussing recently..... Well really options are limitless.

How realistic this is I have no idea, but I for one would be happy to buy such a thing and for any potential profits to go back into the running of this great site.
