FlatCaps were designed with one thing in mind : using tips or filters. The flat end of FlatCap style mold allows for you to put the wooden tip (like Organitips) into the mold, then then pack down into it. The flat end keeps the tip straight because the tip has a flat surface to…
Pro Tip! When I was doing a lot of commercial production I learned quickly that packing all by hand can be strenuous. The BudDriver packers have a flat back – perfect for whacking them with a mallet! Highly recommended. Rubber mallets are the best, they will not damage your BudDriver like a hammer might. You…
One of the things that has surprised me – how hard it can be to get clean leaves and use them in a state licensed business. And what I mean is ……. for the ideal cannagar, you want leaves that have not come in contact with pesticides or other sprays, especially the common types used…
The leaves I used for this were cured for about 5 months or so – picked back in July, and placed in books to flatten and dry them. I got the idea to alternate between dry and about 70% humidity, 5 days dry, two days wet, and ive done this for about the last 2…
BudDrivers can be used as molds too! In a process similar to paper Mache, these high hemp wrappers are being made into wrapper shells. #cannagartools #cannagarmethods #method #shells #hemp #hempwrapper #highhemp #homemade #tipsandtricks 1) Supplies : BudDrivers, Hemp Wrappers 2) use a foam brush to moisten the wrappers 3) mold them onto the BudDrivers,…
Reposted from El Cannatorcedor Blog / May 2016 I have been testing different types of concentrate. Today I brought home some ultra clear oil. Steam processed, ultra refined – this is very expensive concentrate retail, upwards of $60 per gram. Not realistic for actual use in cigars, but I wanted to…
An important consideration when curing to highlight specific flavor profiles is to keep your strains separated during the curing process. Each strain needs to be cured in its own bin if you wish to preserve the flavor profile.
Reposted from El Cannatorcedor Blog / Feb 2016 So far, I had tested only single cannagars as a proof of concept before purchasing full size molds. Worked perfectly. Now I am testing 5 cigars in simultaneous cure – the wood has swollen a bit due to the moisture from the wet buds…
The core backbone method is the most solid workable and easy to reproduce thing there is. I didn’t invent this, I cannot take credit, it was suggested to me, and it is now the way I do things. It can be improved, and experimented with, without a doubt. The main take away is…
So……. my most recent batch, it’s time to revisit using large leaves. I normally opt for smaller leaves, even though that is more labor intensive, simply because larger leaves have been harsher and they have bigger veins. I was fortune to be invited to a farm to select their beautifully pristine pesticide-free leaves….
