Take tobacco and put it in a bag preferably of plastic and close it carefully so as not to damage the tobacco leaves. It should be then left like that for about an hour after which it should be wrapped in such a way that the moist leaves squeeze into a pile. After leaving the leave as it is for one more hour, the bag needs to be opened and let the tobacco leaves dry until they get gnarled. These dried leaves will be later used as wrapper for the cigar.
Now we need to make something like glue which will consist of around one fourth teaspoonful of flour mixed with 3-4 tablespoon of water and put the mixture in microwave for 15 to 20 seconds. It should become like a paste. Leave it aside to thicken. Now, it’s the time to add the scraped tobacco with the binder leaves. Spreading the glue along the border of the binder, roll it round the scraped tobacco and cut off any excess tobacco leaves. Now it’s the time to use those wrapper leaves. With the wrapper leaves, wrap that rolled part and also don’t forget to hide the veins underside so it gives a clean look to your cigar. Now put that thin paste to the border of the wrapper leaves and roll it away. You are now wrapping the first cigar of your life. When it dries, cut off its ends but in order to make sure that it doesn’t get dried out completely, put those in a humidor.
Don’t forget to congratulate yourself for rolling your cigar. It’s all done and ready for a smoke.
