How many cigars can be rolled out of a pound of tobacco (approx.)?
It depends on the size you choose to roll your cigar, cigar rolling technique. Different kinds of leaves are often used for different parts of the cigar. One type of leaf may be used for a filler, while another for a binder, and even another tobacco variety for the wrapper. If this was your personal preference, you would most likely buy 3 pounds of tobacco leaf, instead of one. With these variables in mind, you can roll a minimum 10 to 20 cigars out of one pound of tobacco.
How do I roll my own cigar using your product?
Because we carry whole tobacco leaves, you would need to prep the leaves before rolling your own cigars. Some leaves are best used as a wrapper, and others can be used as filler. There are different methods to process the filler. One is simply removing the center vein, and using the 2 halves of the tobacco leaf as filler. You may want to use more than one leaf if you decide to go with this method. We will be including video tutorials on this in the future.

Tobacco leaves are meant to be stored dry and reconstituted with water when ready to roll and etc.. As a courtesy we mist all of our tobacco leaves prior to shipping an order, and even go as far as packaging it in a bag (with holes) to retain adequate moisture. So your leaves will generally arrive moist. If they arrive dry, just moisten the tobacco with a spray bottle, damp towel, or another method of your choice before handling them extensively. They will absorb the moisture like a sponge and be ready to work with in short time.
