Short Panatela Cigar, Roller's POV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ค. 2021
- I bunch and wrap a short panatela cigar (5.5 x 34). The closest standard-issue cigar I find to this size is the Cuban Bolivar No 3, which is 4 7/8 x 34. They call this vitola "placeras," pleasurable, and I agree with this vitola name. The ones I roll have half an inch more pleasure, that's all.
I don't really have a casquillo (cap cutter) that fits this size, but I aim to procure one soonish. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Of course he is making cigars in that hat, absolute legend
That’s what I said 😂😂
Exactly what I thought the first time he leaned in. 😁
Saw the hat, had the thought, looked for the comment
Explain the hat pls
@@DeathProfessor I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s a common hat worn by Cubans who are famous for their cigars
This was such a visually pleasing process. I never watched how they are actually made before. You can definitely see the differences between machine and hand rolled cigars.
I didn't know you can roll cigars in machines. How do you even do that with a bunch of irregular pieces of leaves?
@@NostalgiaforInfinity most machine rolled cigars use shredded tobacco
@@NostalgiaforInfinity You don't do it well. That's for damn sure.
Today, I learned that cigars are just tobacco leaf burritos.
Correct.
Did you expect anything else inside ? 😂
@@lostecl1pse218 I thought they ground them like cigarette tobacco tbh.
Which is why they are awesome 😊
Bro must be 12 years old
Okay I am going to stop complaining if they're expensive
My thoughts exactly 😂
Yeah you're pretty much smoking art with how they are created.
Did you think a machine just pooped them out? These men are artisans.
@@robsonez lol man me joking
Yeah, it’s an expensive habit. I stopped smoking cigars years ago. I love walking into a cigar store once in a while to remember the smell of cigars and humidors.😊
09:39 Haha! So pleased when the Panama hat popped into view! Extra authenticity!
Well, the TH-cam algorithm is really starting to understand that I love watching people be exceptionally good at doing things. This was superb!
I've also gotten into the Lock Picking Lawyer and (I don't know why, but it's awesome) Nate the Hoof Guy. 😁
I discovered all those through TH-cam recommendations. 😂
Nate the Hoof guy is fking awesome!
you are celebrating being a number in an algorithm lol your brain is so simple that a computer program can decide what you watch ahahaha
Fr, watching this type of stuff feels relaxing
Yea my TH-cam does this I get tons of model kits, boot repairs, and drawing tutorials. Then TH-cam decides to send me all the gravure videos I’m like what? How does a gunpla video lead to soft core JAV? I mean I guess theyre both Japanese?
This should be mandatory viewing for anyone before they smoke their first cigar. It's ART!
Be fr
First time seeing someone hand roll a cigar. Now I know it's truly a work of art. That cigar was beautiful! Amazing work!
I remember years ago getting some variety of nictotina rustica seeds and growing a small batch of tobacco as a project. It was amazing to see. Not quite how I expected. Even as a totally unexperienced grower I was able to end up with something. I didn't end up with alot. Only had a handful of plants. Couldn't quite get the curing to work right for some reason. Even still it was a grounding experience to inhale the fruits of my labors. One thing I learned......that variety was suuuuuuuper strong. Got nicotine spins after 1 puff. Later learned....it's usually mixed with another variety hahah. Great video friend.
I still have some seeds but never tried growing, don't I need to use sand, or how did you do it?
It's because you didn't cure it right is why you got your head blown off in one puff.
@@Loki_Dokiejust TH-cam it dude
@Loki Dokie's Metal Junkie Adventures Well. To be honest, I had zero clue what I was doing (I grew them in a very large raised bed, the same way I grew all my vegetables) and didn't really treat them differently then say lettuce or cabbage and they grew amazingly. Prolly wasn't amazing quality by most standards but it was fun, easy, and lot more potent than I anticipated (at the time I was a pack plus a day smoker). Weekly tending but yeah....bout it. I'm sure you could easily Google or find vids on utube that would give muuuuuch better advice than I since I just winged it. I figured my seeds were bad as they were very old so I tossed a couple handfuls in the bed and shortly there after had a sea of sprouts. Each week I'd thin a 1/4 of em away till just the most vigorous were left in about 1ft sectors.
@@ishnifusmeadle very cool, thank you for taking time to reply, I may give it a shot at some point. If anything they just won't grow. Cheers
I don’t smoke but it’s relaxing and fascinating seeing how intricate the process is. Fantastic video
And how old are you
@mānikyam That doesn't really have to do with anything? I'm 30 and I don't smoke either, but it's still interesting to watch.
@@manikyum 24
Good thing you let us all know you don't smoke. It's very important that strangers on the internet don't judge you for your vices.
You should pick it up
I love videos like this. There’s no chaos, no bad news, nothing…just a man at work or doing his hobby and doing a good job at it too.
Very satisfying.
damn straight spot on
I like when the person comes in like are you recording. "You can talk" nice little touch of humanity.
Freshly made cigars. The freshness of his art is totally refreshing. The one we smoke is usually months old. But this one is like melting fresh chocolate in the mouth.
True
Fresh
Freshly made freshness is fresh.
@@GalderIncarnate Are you getting fresh with him 😂
Absolutely a form of art watching this happen in real time. I would love to see more
I have 200 videos here on YT.
This was beautiful all the way around.
Well done and thank you for sharing the craft with us.
@Sus cat 🐈 yea those are dried tobacco
“ how long are you going to be?”.. “ why, am I in the way?” . Definitely using that one
I give it to the world
@@BlissCigarCo You did use the audio though! You dirty dog.
@@OdourlessAunt I am that, I admit it.
yes.. double down on being rude.
there's nothing a woman can stand less than a man relaxing
It really is an art form. Looks like a delicious cigar!
especially with rice
And the guys spit as glue
@@snyder_fine_art Its fruit pectin he dips his finger in.
@@boshiesty5497 I knew it wasnt spit, genius
@@snyder_fine_art definitely better than the ol lick seal for sure
That looks so time consuming and meticulous especially if it's gonna be a pack or something, but it was way more straight forward than i initially thought. Great stuff.
this is exactly why hand rolled cigars can be a little bit more on the expensive side, and I don't mind paying for the premium product in the slightest
About $5 for 1 stick is about as cheap as they go for and still be made with whole leaf and made well. A lot are around the $10 range for 1 cigar. $20 is high end stuff. The most expensive 1 that a tobacconist showed me was $50 for 1 stick. He said he couldn't relax and enjoy the $50 cigar because it's literally money going up in smokes.
Cigars that cost with $1 or $2 each are made with shredded up leftover leaf that you can see the roller leaving behind here. I tried them. They're very bland and hard to draw smoke in because of how tightly packed shredded leaves can get. Not really worth the hour or so it takes to smoke unless you're addicted and just need something to smoke.
Pretty wild that all said and done a cigar is literally dry leaves wrapped in less-dry leaves haha Very cool to watch
That's exactly right
Will never whine about a hand made cigar costing a little more. Those marvelous hands!
I'm soon 84. Had to give up my Fuente and Upmann cigars 20 years ago. However, if I find a guy smoking a quality cigar I follow him around downwind like a bloodhound. My wife of 60 years just gives me "the look." Thanks for great video of true craftmanship and a tip of the hat to the presenters wife.
Cigars really are a work of art. You can appreciate the handmade craftsmanship of the roller everytime you smoke one. And to me that’s art of the fun
I don't even like smoking but this was fascinating, and amazing to watch. I had no idea how they were made. This is really artistic. The amount of effort putting into making it absolutely perfect. Can totally respect that
Thank you for taking the time to make such a nice comment. I appreciate it.
That is some beautiful craftsmanship right there. After learning how painstaking cigar making really is, it definitely helps me slow down and savor the moment when I light one up.
Very much appreciated seeing this process. Amazing craftsmanship and skills. Once someone gets highly skilled, it's difficult for the layman to see how good someone really is. But from what I saw, I'd like to say that I think that was incredible.
Thank you for your very nice comment.
@@BlissCigarCo You're welcome. Well deserved
That was beautiful to watch. They never show the filler and binder method. Only just the wrapper. I’m glad they did them all here. Great video
Always a joy to watch a skilled craftsman at work
I could watch this all day sipping a scotch and having a nice stogie myself. I always loved marveling at the vendors down in the Florida keys rolling their own fine cigars. I’ve always wanted to roll my own cigars at some point in my life and learn the masterful art of their craft.
Thank you for the very nice comment. I really get a mental image of the situation you're describing, these rollers in the keys. At some point in your life you should really go for it and start rolling!
@@BlissCigarCo a lot are of Spanish and Cuban descent, immigrants fleeing a life of hardship to start anew in the United States of America. When the weathers nice I always see their little walk up wooden booths displaying fantastic assortments of just about anything you could imagine. The sweet and nutty, spicy and peppery aromas of fermented tobacco creating such a serene atmosphere wafting down the streets. I always loved seeing the culebras of varying flavors. And I never strayed away from a nice light bodied corona, I also love panatelas and churchills to the classic torpedo styled smoke. And I must say Claros are definitely my top pick!
@@randomocity999 Beautiful and evocative writing! I wish I could read such things more often. As for me my preference is the panatela, and I prefer to smoke nothing larger than a petit corona. But in 30 years of smoking I have drifted toward enjoying a quality maduro smoke as much or more than a CT shade.
Precision, taste, and passion at their finest...
And definitely king of your castle
This is a step above how the homies do it outside the quick stop 👌 great video, thank you for enlightening us 😎
Thanks, glad you liked it.
What a beautiful process to watch! Rolling is an art, thank you for sharing!
You're welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.
I have never in my life smoked a cigar and have no ambition to in the future....but this was entertaining!!
5:40 "You can talk, I won't use the sound." LOL
Yeah, whoops.
All that work to make that perfectly rounded tip just for it to be cut off 😂
I’m not an expert by any means but I’ve seen my uncles light enough cigars to tell that you cut the opposite end, then light said end, and inhale through the flat end.
@@thatoneultramarine208 that’s simply not true lol
This was such a satisfying process. Man, the satisfaction of smoking something rolled by oneself. Thank you for sharing this.
Absolute master of the craft. Simply beautiful.
Fantastic craft. Beautifully done, it looks delicious.
I'm not a cigar lover by any means, but this vid really does something for my anxiety haha! Really calming watching someone who is so skilled make something like this look so easy, even tho most of us know it is so far from that!
Same reason people have been enjoying the leaf for at least 8,000 years.
I once smelled a fresh tobacco plant in an indoor garden. Later, I learned about the incredible processes humans have learned to cure and stabilize this product. I grew up thinking tobacco was quite evil but now I see it more like catnip.
Moderation is a great way to approach this beautiful handmade cigar.. cheers
Beautifully put, thank you.
3:33 can we all appreciate that this man made sure that the cigar was marked average sided enough so it had good personality?
Thank you for doing the "rollers point of view". I kept screwing up my flag and didn't know why. It took me a while to figure out I was viewing this upside down! LOL. What a maroone.
You're welcome, glad it helped.
"What a maroone.. what a ta ra ra goondiyay" Bugs Bunny
The art of rolling and you are an artist, thank you.
It's always super satisfying watching someone who is skilled in their craft. What that craft actually is rarely matters.
Yeah I agree with that.
For everyone that hasn’t had a good cigar, all this effort is absolutely worth it
So relaxing watching this. I miss rolling cigars. Never got super good at it but I was respectable.
I’m inspired every time I see anything mastered.
I used to occasionally treat myself to van Hartog panatellas back in the '90s - not the best by any means, but good enough on a student's budget.
I wonder..how you make that final leaf to be so smooth and moisture..it didn't strech even when you pull
I coax the moisture into the leaf over time.
Absolutely gorgeous roll.
These are the type of random videos I love watching when I'm taking a poop.
Perfect video, just natural sound and very calm. Great technique.
Do you have a catalogue where I can order?
I literally just put this on to vibe lmao
I don't sell, only roll for entertainment and knowledge.
I would really like to learn how to roll like that. I am already pretty damn good at rolling up but that was some master level maestro work. Very nice sir!
Thank you.
That was amazing to watch never seen one hand rolled before quite the process and now I can appreciate why there so expensive the workmanship involved
Impressive art. Thank you for sharing this.
Always enjoy your videos! What leaf did you wrap with? Looked like it was pretty agreeable to bring stretched but not terribly thick
Thanks. This is Ecuadorian Sumatra. Medium thick, perfectly stretchy if handled correctly. Takes me about a day to get it into condition.
Super super interesting. Is there any distinction between what you use as a wrapper and what gets used as the internal stuff? And why the wooden mould after you're finished wrapping/cutting it?
Thanks. Yeah, the tripa (filler) and capa (wrapper) are totally different varieties of leaf that have been grown and handled in very different fashions on the long road from seed to cigar. The molding smooths out the surface to help make it pretty and also sets and balanced the correct internal pressure of the bunch.
Reminds me of being a kid and sneaking some puffs when my dad would take a moment from his cigar, he would always blame the cigar for not extinguishing, his grief is worth my experience.
Beautiful work! Been smoking hand-rolled cigars for years but never had the opportunity to see one made. I was always ok with the price of a nice cigar because i enjoy them, but now i truly understand the reason. True artistry!
Yeah. Imagine how much they'd cost if people in Nicaragua and the DR weren't getting paid pennies per hour to roll.
Amazing work. What do you use as the adhesive, by the way?
Vegetable gum
@@BlissCigarCo Beautiful, thanks!
@@MitsurugiR You're welcome.
what is the oily stuff?
Vegetable gum.
I don’t smoke and never will but I can appreciate the amount of skill you have.
Thanks. I appreciate your abstinence.
Looks very complex! Thank you fir sharing. I need to smoke a great cigar like that!! ❤
a guy shearing a huge ram brought me here.. much appreciated to see those old hands doing what a machine never will be able to. the ticking clock in the background made it all the more cozy.
Thank you for the very nice comment. I wonder who the ram shearer was.
Don't take this the wrong way. The video was so relaxing I feel asleep. I don't like heavy asmr production. This was perfect, though. Made me feel like I was in Havana on a slow Sunday afternoon in late summer. I'll check out some of your other videos, and hopefully, I'll find one with a relaxing smoke session.
Best way to enjoy a cigar lol
I do it to my relax myself, too.
Some of the best cigars are coming out of Nicaragua and D.R. nowadays. That volcanic soil in Central America is producing some very nice tobaccos
@@thomastrain7311 So far the only cigars I've ever had have been Nicaraguan or DR. It has such great taste. But in my opinion Nicaraguan filler is best when mixed with a second filler for more flavor, it can be boring alone
Very interesting. I grew tobacco last year and dried some. It's nice to see what dried tobacco is supposed to look like and how it can be made into a cigar. Mine was way to brittle, no way I could have rolled it into a cigar without it breaking into pieces. And even if I had dried the leaves properly, rolling them properly would take a while to learn. I was able to smoke some from a pipe, but I'm not much of a smoker so most of it is just lying in the pantry.
Interesting. What kind of tobacco? Most leaf has to be prepped for rolling, depending on the local humidity.
@@BlissCigarCo If I recall correctly, the seeds were labelled as "Virginia Smoking Tobacco". I'm not sure if that's a specific variety or more of a marketing term. The plants got about as tall as a man and developed pink trumpet flowers but I get the feeling that doesn't narrow it down any. I hanged the leaves from the ceiling in my basement to dry out but I think they dried out too fast and thus became crumbly. The first batch of leaves were a bit yellow already when I harvested them. The second batch I picked while green since we got an early October frost.
I did not cut off the tops of the plants when they started producing flowers and then seed pods as some sources suggest for encouraging more leaf growth, since I already had more leaves than I will personally use in several years.
@@robertdeckard2136 Yeah I think Virginia is a type. It's definitely a cig tobacco, tho, not cigar. Sounds like your first crop did have some issues. Tobacco is picked green, then cured in the shed to yellow/brown, then, in the case of cigar tobacco, fermented. I think maybe cig tobacco like VA isn't fermented, tho. Just cured.
@@BlissCigarCo Virginia blends are also used in pipe tobacco. They can be fermented to bring out additional flavors, or you can leave the blend in a tin or mason jar to age it to bring out flavors.
@@fallofshadows2209 Thanks. I think I knew that once upon a time, when I used to smoke pipes. :)
Incredible skill and dexterity!
Could you do Cigar’s POV next?
I think I've got a video of that somewhere on my channel...
Like a mouse using its whiskers to find its way through the dark
His fingers detect and fill in the gaps with needed amount of leaves
Maybe I'll try rolling blindfolded someday.
This is my kind of ASMR. Such a chill process.
Wow that is a art form for sure, years of practice on full display, smooth and calculating, thank you so much.
Thank you for the nice comment.
I'm allergic to tobacco, no cigars for me, but that was fantastic to watch. It's the timeless art of a master craftsman.
Thank you, I appreciate that nice comment.
I can roll about 12 cones joints in the time it takes you to do one cigar. From one roller to another you have excellent techniques and I’ll be taking a few of yours.
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII I do
Get into Thai (tie, because you do actually tie them up) sticks man, it's essentially the og cigar art form of cannabis. But it's definitely the complete opposite of fast production, it's a bit tedious and time consuming particularly the three month aging process of the sticks.
They're a bit less heartbreaking to attempt if you live in a legal medical or recreational state, since it's affordable and abundant and you more than likely can also grow your own to produce the fan leaves needed for rolling.
@@silas2415 cones suck, roll a cigarillo instead
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII I care
Now, that's a labor intensive smoke.
Art, i had no words. Like from Galicia!
Nothing better than watching a video like this in bed whilst scratching your nuts
Correct
I notice you mentioned the wrap you used. Is it the same leaf for binder or what did you end up using
The binder is, I believe, Ecuadorian Habano.
Very cool video. I appreciate your approach to crafting cigars and creating a pleasing video. Cheers
Thanks for the nice comment.
Best channel ever, it's so relaxing to watch your videos!
Thank you!
Incredibly interesting and oddly soothing video to watch. You're quite skilled as well. Thank you!
And that, boys and girls, is why nice hand rolled cigars aren't cheap.
i would think they would cost $100/each.
If I was making, they would cost $100 each. 😂
@@billkea7224 well some do cost $100 (sometimes even more) but it comes down to supply and demand and market demographics.
Great video! How long do you press your cigars for?
Thanks. Any amount of time. Sometimes an hour, sometimes a week. Just depends on the circumstances.
This, this is visual poetry, an art form appealing the senses and an amazing job.
Thank you, I appreciate the nice comment.
I never smoked in my life and never will but this is just so satisfying to watch for some reason
LOL, every serious conversation between every man and woman ever:
How long are you going to be?
Why, what did I do wrong now?
I need a cigar
Nailed it.
Always thought cigars were wrapped in their own leaf.
Watching masters in their craft never gets old
Absolute craftsmanship right there.
Cancer never looked so good.😂
Awesome video! May I ask. Is that water? Or adhesive?
Veg gum
@@BlissCigarCo Thanks for the response!
First time I've ever seen this process...u r a true artist my friend!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you.
Great view of what work goes into a single cigar.
im not a tobacco person but as someone from the marijuana community i think its pretty cool you use a pizza cutter looking thing to roll cigars, its unique imo
The SKILLL!!! Beautiful.
was waiting for something to get rolled inside lol, never really knew what a cigar was until now
Yup, a cigars just leaves and more leaves, in my eyes it's the most natural and easily justified form of tobacco
A skilled creator of Quality and craftsmanship
Now all we need is a vid from the cigar's pov
Third request for that, so I better get on it.
Best video I've seen this year nicely made 👍👍👍
Thank you Vincent, I appreciate the very nice comment.
This is absolutely beautiful
Beautiful craftsman of the hands.
